still image from the movie Life of Brian. A man with an aghast, outraged expression on his face is captured with his mouth wide open in an expression of outrage.

Life of Brian: “He’s not the Messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!”

A new-hire messiah speaks | Gavia Libraria.

Have you isolated, understaffed, undersupported, and given your new librarian enough disparate responsibilities to ensure she’ll never make progress at one without another falling behind? Congratulations! It’s now time to deny your librarian’s promotion due to “lack of progress” and start over! After all, there’s plenty more where she came from!

Please. No more of this. It hurts us all.
