Now I’m redefining the job? People want a marriage license, it’s the law, you give them the license. I believe the term is civil SERVANT, not civil “I don’t want to do it so I’ll initiate a Rube Goldberg method of circumventing the responsibilities of my position”. Do your job or hit the bricks.
Do your job or hit the bricks.
Actually, your standpoint as I understand it is that she should do her job in a manner approved by YOU (personally). You may want to call the appointment rule "Rube Goldberg", but it is a reasonable method in my opinion. You don't like it, so she should quit.
Now, you are welcome to have the last word, FRiend. I'll not respond further.
