Staff at one government office are said to be in a celebratory mood following the transfer of their boss. Reason? They are supposedly describing his departure as long overdue. Our mole whispers that the office had become deeply divided under his leadership, with complaints of favouritism, frequent exclusion of some staff from travel allowances and growing frustration over management decisions. Some former employees are even said to be considering a return, convinced the incoming boss will restore professionalism. Others jokingly remarked that the transferred official has purportedly finally landed where his passion truly belongs.
