FedEx Express (a company that clearly graduated from the CLP Power school of naming) is among the organisations whose representatives will be dispensing their wisdom at the snappily-named "Classified Post/Hewitt Best Employers in Hong Kong 2009 HR Conference" on 25 May.
As regular readers will know, I'm usually a tad sceptical about the benefits of attending these kind of events. But at just a thousand bucks a head for early-bird SCMP subscriber applicants, this one is a snip compared toprevious shindigs with assorted has-beens .
I'm sorely tempted to go along. Not only does the Grand Hyatt do decent grub, but I'm guaranteed to receive "successful insights directly from the top minds", that is, from "senior management of companies that are surviving and thriving in the downturn".
As if the opportunity to sit at the feet of one of Hong Kong's top minds, that of the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Matthew Cheung Kin Chung, wasn't enough, the lure of listening to Clifton Chua, the managing director of the local branch of FedEx Express, explaining how FedEx is "thriving" is virtually irresistible after the recent bumpy landing at Tokyo's Narita Airport, an accident which left no crew member "surviving". (The action begins at the 30 second mark.)

I wonder if Clifton will do a bunk.

I thought the "creativity and fun" thing with Zeman which if I remember correctly was only about $400 sounded loads more, well, fun?
Were Mr. Chua, perish the thought, ever to face disciplinary action, would the headlines read 'Clifton Suspension?'
Norm, are you a graduate of the Fumier School of Punnery?
