Bad news does not improve with age...and the news is aging rapidly


“ Unfortunately, Skipper … here I am, unwilling and unwanted … because I know that you never welcome the bearer of bad news.” 

An unnamed JO to his Commanding Officer late last week

Also, Antigone by Sophocles, circa 442 BC

"THE BAD NEWS IS THAT 71 PERCENT TRY TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS TO KEY DECISION MAKERS BUT DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE HEARD, AND 19 PERCENT DON’T EVENT ATTEMPT TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW THEY WILL NOT BE HEARD." 

From NASA's ASK Magazine
