Given Cawley's very impressive CV, you'd have to assume he will be a loss to Failte Ireland. He was a key man in Ryanair's massive growth across Europe, plus he holds a number of other high profile directorships.

But also given his CV, you'd have to wonder how he thought this was a good idea or how he thought he'd get away with it. Pity it ended this way.

Lot of these people are really poor socially, their awareness of things outside their own little sphere is quite small, they are great at the technical stuff but fail miserably at the mundane everyday stuff, suspect it is at the lower end of the autism scale.

Met him a few years ago, definitely not poor socially.

Are you saying all high ranking people are like above?

Quite a few, they understand whatever business they are in but seem to avoid everything outside of it. In many cases they can't have a conversation about anything outside of work.

Was he trying to sell you something, was there anything to be gained from talking to you?

As I said I dont know, but he will probably be a loss.

Fxxx all , didn't know he existed until yesterday, I was trying to comprehend how someone who seems qualified would make such a poor decision.

He isn't a loss to the concept of restraint needed while we try to get through this pandemic.

That is why he had to go.

I understood why he had to go as I said above. But overall outside of that my guess is that he will be a loss.

Could possibly be just a blonde moment as you said, whatever it was it's a pity it ended like this. It shows smart people are capable of stupid things.

Most people try to say it who they know not because what they know

Now your saying it’s what they know not because of who they know

:-)

Anyone I have met that are in C level position are usually very intelligent but also can hold a conversation, hence why they got to the position.....

I've mostly worked for smaller enterprises 150 - 300 people, upper management would have been minimal but they would have all been a bit cold and awkward in a social setting, they spend their days with emails and reports and conference calls with similar individuals and have little in the way of hobbies or interests outside of work. Pop culture and random events would be alien to them.
I think it's similar to people who see something and figure out immediately how it works and then others who just don't grasp it.

So they work hard

The people I know how to separate work, they have a completely separate life, they don’t socialise with people underneath them as they gets issues over favouritism

From what you are saying that what it sounds like, fairly standard not to be best mate with everyone as they could have to fire them
The next week

Think you are misunderstanding, I'm talking basic knowledge of outside events, Coronavirus knocked our guy for six, couldn't grasp lockdown or cancelled orders, junior managers had to keep him out of the way while things were implemented, no left field thinking ability whatsoever,
I'm an unfriendly basxxxd anyway so wouldn't be expecting any attempts at matey shyte, it's just the vacancy in their faces when you mention something random.

We can use non-normal situations to promote dynamic people and weed out those who are good at just "going with the flow".
I think many organisations are surprised with some of their people that they thought were just ordinary, but in this non-normal situation, those people showed us skills that we didn't know that they had.

Just remember that mantra of stable government. These clowns are having us reduce the use of public transport etc without mentioning dangerous working condition in meat processing and other food supply companies.

judging by the high number of women I'm going to take a stab at saying they took the partners of the lads working in the meat factories for testing.
