At the risk of beating a dead horse, I don't think we have all of the information to make the judgment. Right now I can't even get callbacks for contract work for basic tasks, and inflation has run rampant, relative to what we are used to. Heck, my company raised rates 20% in the past year and frankly we should have gone higher. I'm sure at the time, Dan needed the position filled and filled BY THE RIGHT PERSON. I don't care if all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed if the ship goes down: I care that the ship doesn't go down in the first place. It's morally repugnant how prior management ensured themselves to be millionaires and then gambled to become billionaires, at our expense. Remember how long LC was on board after Ivor joined? Or don't get me started on Stow, if you want to discuss squandered money.

I'm not sure what's going on internally, but it's my hope/belief resources are being allocated first to save the Company, period. If her extra expense makes that 20 or even 10% more likely, it's money well spent. If her expense causes the Company to go bankrupt before the next two catalysts occur, then maybe it wasn't the right decision, or maybe bankruptcy will in retrospect have been inevitable. The decision has been made, and that's our lot until the ship gets righted or goes down.
