O'Reilly on "stress leave"

West Australian Racing
lets_elopelets_elope    299 posts
Principal RWWA Investigator Phil O'Reilly is rumoured to be on stress leave currently.

No doubt that leave would be granted with full pay and all of the associated benefits, O'Reilly stressed, pity the same courtesy & consideration wasn't extended to some of the people he's targeted.

Maybe when he embarks upon his new career he will become an inventor?

    Which begs the question as to the new CEO. Mr. Heath draws stumps in about 3 weeks.
    Surely the new poor devil should have been announced by now.
    But, who in the hell would sup from the poisoned chalice??
    Your guess is as good as mine.

    Darn, I thought this thread was about O'Reilly (the stallion) being on stress leave. Would have been more interesting.
  • thefalconthefalcon    20,505 posts

    Poor guy. RGL and RWWA are tough to deal with.

    Oh Come on carey. He has sex with 150 different females every year, and get's paid $50k a pop! ....Now there's a life I could cope with.

    I stand by my original comments. O'Reilly the Stallion going on stress leave would be a far more interesting story.

    Naturally this wouldn't have anything to do with any of the recent RWWA controversies and inquiry or I should say inquiries into various aspects of RWWA's operation and the conduct of its employees already happening or soon to be occurring..
  • thefalconthefalcon    20,505 posts
    "soon to be occuring" ...I would not hold my breath.

    Anyway, back to the important stuff......

    well my opinion is if you want to belittle the thread you should keep out of it.
    you can't see the irony in this guy being on 'stress' leave?

    of course it would be entirely different if you were the recipient, i would bet.
    you would take it a tad more seriously, and would want your revenge, notwithstanding any legal settlement, so how about you just let it run its course and keep your boredom to yourself?

    Perhaps Mr O'Rielly could make the most of his stress leave and spend time looking for a less stressful job.
  • RadmanRadman    1,992 posts
    In all seriousness carey, I really want Lets_Elope to get on with his life.

    All these hate-filled threads are unhealthy. It's time for him to admit he is better than them, give them no more of his time, and gain his revenge by living well.

    That's my honest opinion. :wink:

    Absolutely correct Piston.

    He has caused a lot of people a lot of grief in his manner and has never until now had to be accountable for his actions.

    Whether he goes about it in the right or wrong way, if he is under stress due to what he does in the workplace..he is entitled to leave with full benefits. He is entiteled to be paid workers comp and have all his medical bills paid under such circumstances.

    If he is out of line and investigated, the bigger question will be who manages him on a day to day basis and didn't put in checks and counter checks to ensure that he was proficient in his duties and had the appropriate training and direction to complete them in a manner that was acceptable to his managers.

    He does work that no-one wants to do...and it is generally when there is contentious issues...As such there will very rarely be a total agreement by all parties of any of his outcomes.

    There are a few people who have been on the recieving end of his investigations and quite rightly are upset and resentful of him and his style - or lack of!!!....Lets not forget that even though this is well documented his managers are happy for him to continue...maybe the few bad outcomes that are well known are far outweighed by the many that are not that well known???? I dont know, but i do know that every person doing his role or simialr has to answer up the line to someone and if that magical someone in this instance allows him to continue as long as he has then they must be happy with his overall performance..

    The few on here who appear to have got a raw deal from his mannerism...i'm with Radman...Rise yourself above the situatin and go forward in a positive manner and prove your are the better people... O'Reilly and those that are responsible for his behaviours will eventually be dealt with...Until then for your own well being move on....

    RIO, the problem is that if everyone shuts up, gets over it, etc you can guarantee that nothing will ever change for the better.
    I am sure any organization that has internal problems would be very happy if no outside comment or scrutiny of the problems was made.
  • RIORIO    14,902 posts
    Agree totally Arlo..It has to be discussed in forums like this.. And he and anyone in his postion needs to be held accountable. And it is only by discussion and then investigation that we get things changed...

    And things need to be changed. But some on this forum have been well and truly wronged by this guy...and as a result of them campaigning strongly, my undertanding is that some of the wrongs have been recognised and HE is now being properly investigated.

    The "outside comment or scrutiny" has to be made..It has/or is.

    I was just saying ...he is doing a tough job that very rarely keeps all parties happy...if due to this he is on stress leave, then he deserves the rights and support of anyone else who is injured in anyway as a result of their employment..

    Good organisations actually enjoy and embrace people speaking up..the powers in this industry hate it and normally come down on them like a tonne of bricks....

    Gotta go. Off to get my arse reammed by another power playing partner in this industry that is asking me to explain my comments!!!! haha...

    Arlo...I know how important it is to commenrt..at any cost..i just want these guys to move on ...they had their say they were right..be happy..Move onto the next issue..cos there are heaps of them unfortunately :(

    "if he is out of line" you are kidding aren't you, the only thing O'Reilly is entitled to is to be summarily dismissed.

    This beg the question why seemingly intelligent people who represent RWWA are so desperate to defend him and his actions.

    Could it be if he goes down the whole top echelon of RWWA officials goes with him.

    Let's Elope

    "if he is out of line" you are kidding aren't you,


    The question above is not for me or you, it is for his managers or RWWA officials to answer who are fully aware of his actions and outcomes..We can definitely have an opinion based on the side of stories that we know, but it is only those that have a full picture of all events who can give a definitive answer to that....

    Up to this point they are obviously happy with his behavior - A lot of people may disagree - but if they have been supportive of him to this point then they need to continue with this support.

    I am not saying that i agree with what has happened in some cases. I am saying that he works for people who have and continue to support his activities..if these people then say that his activities and outcomes are wrong then IMO they also need to be got rid of.

    So yes i agree with hour comment Could it be if he goes down the whole top echelon of RWWA officials goes with him. 100% agreement from me. Responsibility for employees actions goes up the line.

    And do we know for sure that he wasn't directed to investigate certain aspects of certain cases?????? It may be a case of him doing exactly as directed by people that manage him..Is he then responsible for the outcomes??? I certainly don't know, but if he is being investigated there is a good chance that there is more to the situation than what we see on the surface...Otherwise he would've been dismissed about 10 minutes into any investigation from what has happened on at least one investigation that he held and has been proven to be very wrong about.

    could somebody tell us who in rwwa has the old sign on his desk,
    "the buck stops here"?
  • lets_elopelets_elope    299 posts
    No one Falcon,

    Certainly not the laughably titled integrity committee, apparently no one is responsible for the conduct and actions of the staff and managers of this government funded organisation, not the racing minister and certainly not RWWA's CEO etc etc
  • thefalconthefalcon    20,505 posts
    but, every business be it bhp or the corner deli has a "boss". a person that has the right to hire and fire, someone who signs the important documents, a person who can lob into work at 10am without question. :?
    surely that person at rwwa has a name???
  • RIORIO    14,902 posts
    Yeah that was my point Falcon..Whoever he answers to has let him travel along like this for ages..and now to say it's wrong????

    Whoever THE PERSON is, i'd suggest that position is in more trouble then him..Unless they are conducting the investigation...then self preservation will take place and he will be up Crap Creek!!!!!
