By Richard Ingrams , FOUNDER OF PRIVATE EYE AND THE OLDIE Disciplinary - at 76: Private Eye founder Richard Ingrams was summoned to the boss's office Three days ago I announced my resignation as editor of The Oldie, a magazine I had edited since its launch way back in 1992. I had many happy years working with some brilliant people but  in the end I was unable to cope  with the demands of the modern management man, personified  by the magazine’s publisher, one James Pembroke. Let me be fair to the man – Pembroke has done wonders for the magazine, which now boasts a circulation of 45,000. But alarm bells started to ring some time ago when he began to hanker after ‘brainstorming’ sessions and covered the office walls with charts showing blue and yellow days for different members of staff.

To my amazement I then received a three-page letter from @placeholder summoning me to a ‘disciplinary hearing’ and warning me: ‘If you are found guilty of misconduct I may decide to issue you with a written warning or a final written warning.’ (What was the difference?)
