00:00 - 00:03Our expansion has been significant.
00:04 - 00:05not least due to our succes
00:05 - 00:07with the US donors in Washington
00:08 - 00:12but due to recent events we are now facing a new situation
00:12 - 00:15and our growth is threathened
00:17 - 00:19So we destroy Diaspora Programme, HDP..
00:19 - 00:21Fire some staff in HQ and regions and charge Danida
00:24 - 00:26SG..
00:27 - 00:28Staff..
00:31 - 00:33Staff are unsatisfied and request transparency
00:34 - 00:36about the upcoming lay-offs
00:53 - 00:58Everyone who used to work for the Ministry stays in the room
01:13 - 01:15We need to look good!
01:15 - 01:17Degrowth and angry staff does not look good!
01:18 - 01:23If we do not continue to grow, and staff complain, my career plan is threathened
01:25 - 01:28I am so close to being considered for a senior UN position
01:29 - 01:31I brought you in to make it happen
01:31 - 01:34I gave you all the power you never had in the Ministry
01:34 - 01:37I have ignored all the complaints against your leadership
01:37 - 01:40and gotten rid of the outspoken oldtimers
01:40 - 01:42SG, there are still dissidents speaking up
01:42 - 01:46Only because you failed to subdue them completely
01:46 - 01:48SG, we have done everything to undermine them
01:48 - 01:52and now your failure will cost me a D2 position
01:53 - 01:54ending like my useless predecessor
01:56 - 01:57I had photos taken
01:57 - 02:00With the Queen and High Commissioners
02:00 - 02:03While you could focus on data and so-called innovation
02:04 - 02:08All real responsibility has been delegated to non-managers
02:08 - 02:13But now I have to go and look like a fool on TV..like a common NGO SG
02:14 - 02:16I spoke at the UN Security Council
02:17 - 02:21And now your failure makes me look like the other incompetent NGO hippies
02:27 - 02:29Everyone in the Ministry laughed
02:30 - 02:34When I told them I was going to an NGO
02:34 - 02:36But I had it all figured out
02:41 - 02:425 years..
02:43 - 02:47Spend 5 years with an NGO and then segue into a high-level position
02:48 - 02:53Surround myself with loyal former colleagues and friends
02:54 - 02:56I was sure that would be enough
02:56 - 02:59Shaping HQ like a mini-ministry without accountabilty
03:00 - 03:02But now staff want accountability
03:04 - 03:07don't worry, the last outspoken ones will be fire
03:14 - 03:16Now, Danida will look to the Red Cross
03:19 - 03:23And they don't even have a leadership with Ministry experience
03:25 - 03:26It's over
03:31 - 03:33The D2 is gone
03:40 - 03:46But if staff think we will learn from this, and change course, they are sadly mistaken
03:46 - 03:49We will continue as long as we can
03:53 - 03:56No transparency
