and I'm probably a really bad person to enjoy it when it does, but I am so chuffed!!
Some of you may remember the awful time I had when I felt forced out of the volunteering role that I had held for years. It was a role I loved, I was very good at and for which I was highly regarded by those I helped. My manager felt threatened by a group of us and engineered a situation where we were discredited. One of our number was sacked and, because we saw the writing on the wall, three of us resigned.
I heard today that the charity lost the contract and the manager was made redundant! 
And, I am now really enjoying being part of the group who run our village library. [so there, sticky out tongue emoticon]
Nonnie we are waiting too (it's been ages) for something similar, but in the meantime several small but satisfying things have happened to him! Evil 
Nonnie, I'm so pleased 
. We are still waiting for karma to get the Idiot but we have loads of ammo - much like yours I assume. Glad you are getting a bit of karma too Lona - are small karmic redresses better than one big one, do you think?
jings it's quite easy to sack volunteers - you just tell them not to come back again and they have little or no comeback. Lots of charities have contracts to supply services - Victim Support, WRVS, Cafcass etc
Elrel, in Leicestershire, where I live, the County Council have offered local communities support to take over the running of all village libraries or see them close. Our village is lucky in that we have a very active Community Association who were able to take the task on. We were the first to go live so have been guinea pigs but it seems to be going well. We have to become.self supporting in seven years so our main priority is to make the building 'earn' during its closed periods. 'Luckygirl* is involved in running her local library but in a different way, I think.
I think that schadenfreude is the word you want Kitty.
Call it what you like roses as long as it gets them where it hurts most!
