June 2013: Fred Horne fires the entire AHS Board for their refusal not to be arms length from the PC government and do what they are told. (although they did exactly what they were told and did "reconsider its decision to pay executive bonuses." Horne just didn't like their decision.)
March 2013: “Regardless of how people feel about the decision of the AHS board, I
don’t think anybody would want me or a colleague to interfere with the
terms of their employment they’ve agreed to. It’s a decision for the AHS
board,”
“I don’t have the authority to interfere with someone’s contract of employment.”
“We’ll take the appropriate time as government to look at what
they’re planning to do, ask questions and (ask) for clarification,” said
Horne.
“It’s important to recognize it’s difficult times, it’s
tough choices. When people make those tough choices, we need to be there
to support them."

Seeing a bunch a fat cats lose their bonuses, I have no problem with it and I understand the Wildrose party doesn't either. The Wildrose party does have a problem with the General board itself though. Something has to be done about these bonuses, they already make a good salary and perks.
ReplyDeleteHow much will all the severance packages be for these board members?
ReplyDeleteTaxpayers screwed either way
They were fired, I don't think they should get any.
ReplyDeleteI would hope that the Minister looked into that "severance" thingy, before giving them a whiff 'o grape.
ReplyDeleteI've called the kinds of "contracts" you refer to as "hire to fire" contracts, where the firing is better than the hiring. Its as if they were hired until they became a reason to be fired and only that. They don't "do" work in the normal sense.
They were probably offered what I call "hire to fire" contracts, where the firing is better than the hiring. "we'll hire you until we have to fire you. It's just business".
ReplyDeleteNone of these bureaucrats should be weeping to the press afterwards.
