EMSB had “poisonous work environment”
An independent inquiry into the English Montreal School Board reveals a poisonous work environment including shouting and swearing, flinging of papers, and passive-aggressive humming of a song from The Lion King.
Arguably, the art of management involves always finding a way to force people to work together who can’t stand each other, but there are times nothing works. This appears to be one of those times.

You know things are getting toxic when there is passive-aggressive humming of a song from The Lion King.

It could push a person over the edge.

If I recall, in high school someone started humming and got others doing it in class, but I can’t remember the specific reason. It had been done on “Room 222” on tv, a show set in high school, so I always assumed the idea came from the show.
I don’t think it was the time someone talked much of a class into boycotting, something about the “teacher being a bad teacher”, which I always doubted since the student didn’t seem to be a good student, and besides, most kids don’t care. The teacher actually did disappear soon after, maybe embarrassment rather than termination.

After the film came out, a bunch of tech workers unhappy with the way the money was being distributed at Disney, were seen at various Hollywood gatherings wearing T-shirts with a “Lyin’ King” logo. No humming, AFAIK.

Well at leas it wasn’t hakuna matata, or even worse, any song from Frozen.
