00:00.500 --> 00:03.250
Our expansion has been significant.

1
00:04.000 --> 00:05.500
not least due to our succes

2
00:05.650 --> 00:07.500
with the US donors in Washington

3
00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
but due to recent events we are now facing a new situation

4
00:12.900 --> 00:15.500
and our growth is threathened

5
00:17.500 --> 00:19.000
So we destroy Diaspora Programme, HDP..

6
00:19.000 --> 00:21.500
Fire some staff in HQ and regions and charge Danida

7
00:24.750 --> 00:26.500
SG..

8
00:27.500 --> 00:28.500
Staff..

9
00:31.000 --> 00:33.500
Staff are unsatisfied and request transparency

10
00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
about the upcoming lay-offs

11
00:53.000 --> 00:58.500
Everyone who used to work for the Ministry stays in the room

12
01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
We need to look good!

13
01:15.250 --> 01:17.750
Degrowth and angry staff does not look good!

14
01:18.750 --> 01:23.250
If we do not continue to grow, and staff complain, my career plan is threathened

15
01:25.250 --> 01:28.000
I am so close to being considered for a senior UN position

16
01:29.250 --> 01:31.000
I brought you in to make it happen

17
01:31.500 --> 01:34.000
I gave you all the power you never had in the Ministry

18
01:34.750 --> 01:37.750
I have ignored all the complaints against your leadership

19
01:37.500 --> 01:40.500
and gotten rid of the outspoken oldtimers

20
01:40.500 --> 01:42.750
SG, there are still dissidents speaking up

21
01:42.750 --> 01:46.250
Only because you failed to subdue them completely

22
01:46.500 --> 01:48.790
SG, we have done everything to undermine them

23
01:48.790 --> 01:52.000
and now your failure will cost me a D2 position

24
01:53.000 --> 01:54.500
ending like my useless predecessor

25
01:56.000 --> 01:57.750
I had photos taken

26
01:57.750 --> 02:00.500
With the Queen and High Commissioners

27
02:00.500 --> 02:03.500
While you could focus on data and so-called innovation

28
02:04.500 --> 02:08.000
All real responsibility has been delegated to non-managers

29
02:08.750 --> 02:13.500
But now I have to go and look like a fool on TV..like a common NGO SG

30
02:14.000 --> 02:16.750
I spoke at the UN Security Council

31
02:17.500 --> 02:21.750
And now your failure makes me look like the other incompetent NGO hippies

32
02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
Everyone in the Ministry laughed

33
02:30.500 --> 02:34.000
When I told them I was going to an NGO

34
02:34.500 --> 02:36.500
But I had it all figured out

35
02:41.000 --> 02:42.500
5 years..

36
02:43.000 --> 02:47.500
Spend 5 years with an NGO and then segue into a high-level position

37
02:48.500 --> 02:53.000
Surround myself with loyal former colleagues and friends

38
02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
I was sure that would be enough

39
02:56.500 --> 02:59.750
Shaping HQ like a mini-ministry without accountabilty

40
03:00.000 --> 03:02.500
But now staff want accountability

41
03:04.750 --> 03:07.500
don't worry, the last outspoken ones will be fire

42
03:14.250 --> 03:16.250
Now, Danida will look to the Red Cross

43
03:19.250 --> 03:23.250
And they don't even have a leadership with Ministry experience

44
03:25.550 --> 03:26.750
It's over

45
03:31.500 --> 03:33.750
The D2 is gone

46
03:40.750 --> 03:46.250
But if staff think we will learn from this, and change course, they are sadly mistaken

47
03:46.500 --> 03:49.000
We will continue as long as we can

48
03:53.750 --> 03:56.000
No transparency
