Abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet

A company $33M in debt is giving out bonuses. Only in the Bahamas. This is why all government corporations need to be privatized. Governments should not be running business. The employees of BEC should be ashamed because the public has to bear the burden with the outrageous cost of electricity.

**AND** they just cut the power **AGAIN**. When the government can no longer afford to pay ANY salaries, Maynard and Pinder gonna be crying. Promoting absolute foolishness dragging around this millstone of a corporation, smt.

Add 1.2 million to the debt along with the excessive overtime paid weekly.

Is this "bonus" paid as a result of company performance or individual performance? ....... or is it automatic based on end of fiscal year, seniority or department??????

Who is performing at BEC to justify a "bonus"?????

Do BTC, Bahamasair, W&SC, NIB, ZNS, BAIC, BDB etc employees get bonuses as well?????

Do civil servants and Parliamentarians get annual bonuses?????????

Who writes/signs these employee CBA laws???????

This is outrageous!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter whether it's individual performance. This company didn't say that they're not performing "*as well as expected*", they said that they don't have the money to buy fuel for next week, literally, they are dead broke. How a dead broke bankrupt company pays bonuses is beyond me

God only knows the other abominations written into this new contract

Any employee will try to get the best deal. the problem is the employer refuse to say know,and we know it is all about not wanting to upset voters. BEC situation is screaming for privatization.But we all know the government don't have the balls to do what is necessary.

Beware of coveteousness. Coveteousness is IDOLATRY!

The price of a barrel of oil has declined 40% on the international markets during the year to date but we have yet to enjoy a 40% reduction in the fuel surcharge rate shown on our monthly light bills from BEC. Now we know why! Rather than reducing the fuel surcharge rate, our "efin" government is paying overly generous and undeserved Xmas bonuses to BEC's unionized employees and also making sure they continue to enjoy excessive pension benefits that BEC cannot afford to pay without support from the hard working struggling taxpayers of this country who are charged back-breaking exorbitant rates for the electricity they consume. The people need to rise up and put that fat union leader Maynard on a diet. Perry "Vomit" Christie and "Shameless" Shane Gibson are to blame for all of this foolishness and the people are not fooled by the "good cop" role that they have blithering incompetent idiot Leslie Miller playing in the affairs of BEC.

When a chairman can't put his signature on what his bosses is proposing then he should resigned. Division-Divided vision is when we can't see eye to eye.

Did the BEC Executive Chairman resign as yet??????????? The clock is ticking ...........

This is absolutely outrageous!! The Bahamian people should be in an uproar! Never have I seen such foolishness. 'Shame' Gibson has the audacity to be grinning like a Cheshire Cat on ZNS news when they showed the signing of this stupid deal. And yet again Bahamian people will remain as quiet as a mouse over another scandal. Bahamians sure know how to use Vaseline because we keep taking it again and again and again! At this rate, the Politicians might as well just increase their salaries right now.

Yep ........ where is Guy Fawkes when you need him..................

So, let me get this straight.....A business that makes money, pays bonuses'. A business that loses money has to pay bonuses too? Hmmm Business 101 apparently doesn't apply here in Bahamas.....or with government owned businesses at least....sad day...another example of stupidity of bahamas.

Who controls the money being paid out of The Public Treasury? If someone decided the bonuses should be one year's salary, who would step in and say that is not feasible?

B.E.C....the king of don't care service in The Bahamas. When they privatise.....dog, cat and rat eat ya lunch!!!!! When solar and other types of energy get's cheaper and more available....it OVER!!!!! Hope ya'll saving!!!

Miller is the only one who is trying to fix this whole situation. He is right. The employees are raping BEC and they do not deserve anything. Davis and Gibson and just trying to get votes for future projects. They do not care about the people. Instead of Philip "Brave" Davis it should be Philip "Woosey" Davis. Because that what he is. He is not BRAVE enough to stand up to the BEC Union

How about everyone and I mean everyone turning off their electricity at the same time for 1 hour. No hardship to us as it happens regularly but only to suit BEC.
Let's have a nationwide turn off to show BEC what it's like. No revenue, no need to run generation.
About time BEC realise they cost our businesses money by cutting supply so what if we don't want their supply for an hour?
Time to realise they are a service industry not dictators or controllers.

You're right, about 3-4 hours yesterday...1 hour should be a breeze, added bonus I can take my appliances down and bring them back up safely. I'm in.

WHAT ON EARTH DESERVES A BONUS? The HIGHEST rates in the Caribbean, coupled with absolutely without question the WORST service, yes top of both categories, but deserving of FIRING, not bonuses!

All you'll need to shut the frig up. You vote for stupid ignoramus uneducated getto mutts than live with it. You bitch and complain then vote the same old rank and file in power. I am sick and tired of it. Just shut up and live in your slums have numerous children you can't support or can't control and let these uneducated idiots run your country to the ground. You all deserve to live in poverty, like dogs, raise dogs and then look to dogs to help you out. Just go about your day licking your balls and smelling your neighbors assess.

Uhmmm I didn't vote for any of these ignoramuses, I don't have any children, I live relatively comfortably and I don't have any dogs. Oh and I don't have balls so, no can't lick them. **but** on the bright side I do have neighbours so all is not lost!:)

And you continue to do the 69 ......................... bro, its freedom of speech
