OFF THE CUFF: Manager lost her cool, now her job

THE ADMINISTRATOR of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Ampyme), has resigned one week after “losing her cool,” flipping her lid” or “blowing here top” or whichever description you want to apply to an official who, in the middle of a press conference, fired a senior official,insulted her subordinates, denounced pressures from businesses and then burst into tears, portrayed by a local cartoonist with images of a crocodile.

Parallel to the resignation of Romero, prosecutors have initiated an investigation against the current administration of Ampyme.
“The investigation relates to information published in various newspapers in the city on May 28 and 29 last week, alleging several irregularities in issuing checks and alleged payments kickback payments “says a statement from prosecutors.
“This case will be sent to one of the Anticorruption Prosecutors to conduct investigations in order to establish the possible execution of the offense and the identification of people allegedly involved/” reports La Prensa.
It will be revealing to see if the Varela administration avoids  the example of its predecessors, moving failures in one position,sideways to another cozy post.
