Exactly.

People who think Burke is sitting idlely by, keeping quiet in the corner are perhaps the most naïve people on the go. Sure Treliving is the GM, and sure he has final say on personnel moves, but to think that he doesn't consult with Burke, soliciting his advice on difficult decisions is downright idiotic.

If Burke truly isn't having any input to personnel decision, I ask the question; where can I get a boss like that?
