    Imagine being Drugovich or Crawford thinking “they must be getting sick of him by now” and boom, seat blocked for another two years. Gutted.

    It must be so frustrating working for this team knowing they’re not serious about moving up the grid.

    There must come a point where individual team members, engineers, strategists, tea lady etc, who I assume are highly motivated people, start to realise that this ‘program’ is going nowhere.

    It must be counterproductive to the development of a team when you are setting your ambitions so low.

    At what point do people start thinking ‘Fuck this!’ and start looking for opportunities elsewhere?
