المدير المهايطي !

بعض القطاعات يخرج لنا مدير يطلق تصريحات كبيرة ووعوداً إعلامية ضخمة دون إنجازات ملموسة!
و ضربنا عدة أمثلة !!

وبعض الإعلاميين والمؤثرين يعزز ما د��م فيها فلوس ( ربما لو هي مقبرة قال هذه مقبرة مميزة و مريحة لصحة ظهر الميت !)

دع اعمالك تتحدث عنك !
وكما يقول بنجامين فرانكلين (فعلٌ ممتاز خيرٌ من قولٍ ممتاز!)
