Yes, I was really put through the wringer that *fateful* time in 1989. And quite a few people were implicated in it as well. This is what happened since my 'removal' and transfer from that department.
This is what I heard as well (as to what became of them):

PS I don't really hate the Florist or the Truck Driver either, I think they tried not to take sides between me and Saddlebags. In fact they were quite nice to me (for the most part, except when they were upset with me for not getting along with Saddlebags, but then again, they were not always happy with her either). Where they were implicated was that they had to deliver the 'bad news' to me regarding my removal, but they also gave me the *good* news when I got the job in the first place.
This is what I heard as well (as to what became of them):
- Saddlebags (the girl who pretty much gave me hell from the get-go, and so called because her bike tights showed up her relatively large thighs and bum, even though the rest of her was not particularly fat) - her younger brother had a 'criminal' past and history of theft, and was jailed prior to his employment with this organization. He failed to declare his legal history and was caught stealing. Of course, he appealed to get his job back (claiming persecution by management) but was again caught stealing afterwards. After that, he was dismissed (and for good).
- The (female) truck driver (who was our training officer at the time and offered me the job with them, and she looked a bit 'butch' also) - she used to be a nurse beforehand, and returned to nursing after leaving the organization (in a 'Correction Centre', of all places).
- The (male) florist (our other training officer, who was a bit of a 'pansy') - also left, and started up a business somewhere in the inner city suburbs (hopefully, *not* as a florist, though it wouldn't surprise me if he was).
- Freddy Kruger (Saddlebags's best friend, another on in our training group and an older man that happens to look like Freddy) - was also caught stealing (or tampering with mail) and was also arrested and taken to a 'corrections centre'. As well, he used to be high up in some bank interstate but had to leave for some reason or another - however, he also had a 'history' of theft and fraud and was done for 'cooking the books' there. (Saddlebags sure as hell knows how to pick them, doesn't she - first, it's her brother, now it's her best friend; but I could tell he wasn't a very nice person anyway).
- Kanaka (she is Fijian, but a bone through her nose would suit her to a tee - she was *savage*): Also called me a lazy 'b' because I couldn't keep up with the work I was expected to do. She and some guy (who was in the training group after me) had domestic disputes with each other - there was also talk about her chasing him around the house with a knife, and they had a big fight in the car park where both were punching each other with their fists. Boy, would I have given everything to be a 'fly on the wall' for this one? I think the couple eventually got seperated and divorced (I mean, seriously, who'd want to marry her in the first place, unless they were a glutton for punishment)!!!
- The Egyptian Camel (canteen lady of Middle Eastern appearance): Died of a heart attack (I didn't particularly like her because she spoke rudely to people;
- The Fat Chong (other canteen lady who is really morbidly obese): Got a job as a nurse somewhere (surprised she didn't die of a heart attack also); I didn't really hate her but she was a bit of a gossip - though at least she warned me about Saddlebags and told me that Saddlebags complained to her that she didn't want to work with me anymore (yeah, I was *really* losing sleep over that one - NOT)!!!
- 'OSUYF' (short for 'Oh shut up, you fool' - some old drunk Scottish guy who used to say that to my friend): Also passed away - though not too sure from what (though it wouldn't surprise me if it was due to 'alcohol poisoning') :)
- POB (my name is FSOB - or the Fat Shit, or 'No Neck' because he looked like he didn't have a neck): Also 'drank like a fish, and alongside OSUYF, was drunk that very night when management failed to intervene when Kanaka yelled at me and called me a 'lazy B'. Since I left, he was also implicated in a 'chemical spill' because he failed to prevent it from happening or do anything about it. Consequently, he was transferred to another department *and* also demoted.
- HTB (also called the Bogan, but really, he was a 'nerd' more than anything because he wore daggy clothes): Also implicated in a bomb scare (during my training days) and was also transferred to another department.
- And anyone else I didn't mention, but yes, a few people passed away, or had been in trouble or had other things happen to them, though these people I had just mentioned were implicated in my clash between myself and Saddlebags.
