Ban Ki-moon is gonna fire you

Newness abounds in the new year! New UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who totally lacks the warm charisma of his much fawned over by UN geeks predecessor, has asked some 30 senior officials for their resignations. Oh, the humanity of it all! But they have contracts!!! How dare an SG come in and attempt to manage the place. Maybe he's taking James Traub's advice to shake things up. Looks like even more new things in store.
