Soikutsu-haani has it right.
I can confirm that the majority of WHG personnel that was brought to the facility in question is already back and on duty. They have been recompensed for the duration of their relocation at one hundred percent of their regular loans.
This progress and process was announced 13 days ago as you can see.

Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wise.

A curiously framed statement in the context of a group of workers rising against a KK security force in order to focus attention on conditions which they no longer see as tenable. If memory serves correctly, a similar situation came to a head a few years ago in another planet-side facility overseen by the Home Guard. Continuing my curiousity - was that situation similarly "improper" in its planning, execution or outcome?

Your attempt is noted.
However, this is not a labour riot nor are the former employees holding that facility hostage disgruntled factory workers rebelling against working conditions. As such, it also is an isolated incident.

Quite correct. I was raising the point that even if this was a labor dispute, as Msr. Anslo seemed to suggest, this is not the proper way to go about it. I assumed it was clear my point was hypothetical from the context of the discussion, but may have expressed myself poorly. My apologies.

As for the Caldari Constructions revolt, I am not privy to the details of its planning and execution, but it is plain to see that it had the virtue of being successful in its outcome. You may have noticed that the State has had its occasional moments of radical political change in response to changing circumstances - the Proclamation of Secession, Morning of Reason and indeed the Caldari Constructions revolt come to mind.

It remains to be seen whether this situation is such a moment. I'm not betting on it.

Mr. Rundle,

I would point your attention to the fact that the majority of Wiyrkomi Honor Guard personnel have returned to their duties and were compliant during their period of auditing.

The current minority of Wiyrkomi Honor Guard staff who were retained for further audits appear to have undertaken armed insurrection against lawful authorities which have little to nothing to do with workplace relations or labour policies which, given the example of their peers, was suitable enough. Rather, the matter lies in the reasons behind why they were not permitted to return to active duty in the first instance.

Once the current crisis is resolved, I am certain those reasons will be provided if such information is deemed suitable for public disclosure.

Until such time, it is nothing more than presumption to ascribe reasons and rationale behind the actions of the individuals in question without basis in fact.

Ancestors bless -- I can't stop laughing -- please fetch me a doctor?

(Added: scratch the doctor, I'm okay now. This deserves some explanation: at the time this news broke, I was literally seconds away from submitting a formal application to the Guard. A missed opportunity to have the shortest official term of employment ever.)

Why not? My resume certainly supports that theory.

It certainly makes my latest business and diplomatic ventures a waste of time and money. One of the few trustworthy entities in the State Protectorate dissolved and whatever rises in its stead will default to being an unknown quantity to stay the hell away from, financially and loyalty wise.

Established State corps that aren't running off into nullsec seem to be closing in on zero.

Oh, don't despair yet.

Capsuleers have a habit of landing on their feet, assuming they were the sort to be able to stand and breathe at the same time to begin with. Look to where the people go. I certainly intend to.

We'll have to see. If nothing else, it'll be a new thing with no reputation and name for itself versus a known (high) quality entity that's now gone poof.

A corporation is always a human institution and its worth and value is always measured by the quality and integrity of the sum total of the people within it.

A new entity, true, is an unknown brand to be proven but if its constituent human elements are the same as one considered to be of quality then why should the new be no different than the old in its high standards?

Because something killed their former employee. Something's rotten somewhere and who knows if it hitched a ride to the new entity. If it didn't, there's certainly some change involved and only time can tell if said change is beneficial... or terminal.

Sound advice. Especially that last statement.

We at TODEA wish our friends in WHG all the best and eagerly await news of any developments. In these trying times, solidarity and a focus on upholding the values we deem worth dedicating our lives to are the only constants.

Personally, I am interested to see what the capsuleers of WHG will be doing next; they have shown remarkable solidarity throughout some of the tumult that has engulfed their corporation in the past, and this dissolution seems like a 'greener pastures' move rather than 'abandoning ship'.

Speculation is a self-indulgence, but as we've seen many a time in the SCC markets, it is a driving force. Public opinion among my peers is that this is the time to be keeping an eye on the corp-ticker listings for a promising newcomer.

Processed my final paperwork and took my leave of Wiyrkomi this evening. It has been an interesting period of my career, my first real home in the Capsuleer community, and I'd like to thank Wiyrkomi and, especially, my former kirjuun amongst the Honor Guard for everything they taught me as well as for the chance to serve the State.

I'd also like to thank the nameless and faceless clerk at Wiyrkomi Home Office who decided to introduce me to the good people at Caldari Provisions. My new placement officer was as surprised to see me as I was to meet him and we spent a very interesting half-hour as he tried to find some way to employ my skillset in the exciting world of beverage and comestible production and distribution.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I'll be getting my marching orders soon no doubt, but Tuulinen-haan, I have to say I've only ever heard of one instance of a capsuleer inauguration involving the consumable food products industry, and it certainly wasn't 'employment'. Excuse the nostalgia, but this does remind me of an old SWA story.

Some of you may have experienced the clearly non-regulatory 'Top Up' passing out ritual the more rowdy capsuleer graduates have engaged in to date. Basically this involves a bottle of something 80% proof or higher, some scrip in the pockets of the right maintenance techs and access to the protoplasm injector arrays involved in filling the pod with the suspension fluid we all know and love. Note ONE bottle. Filling the whole pod with kerosene strength alcohol is more than a little stupid, not to mention beyond the realm of a bit of petty palm greasing.

No doubt harmless to use, after all a bit of top shelf liquor isn't going to do any harm as a topical application, especially considering it is diluted in reconstituted cell membranes in this scenario, but it doesn't always agree with the machinery that is used to delivering fluids of a more viscous nature.

Childish passing out rites aside, I clearly remember affixing fast food outlet application forms to the quarterly reports of some individuals under my command in the past by way of friendly career advice, but yours was not one of them. See you in space soon Tuulinen-haan.
