Who leaves an Atlantis job?

Who? Someone who wants to be employed by the state that will never fire them, not work them too hard, and give then a fat juicy pension. Who wouldn't?

41 years old with 10 children?!! Sorry but having trouble getting past that.....

I am having trouble getting over that as well. Don't people manage their lives? Where is the husband? Where is the child support money? How do you bring a child into this world without insuring that you have the finances to do so? Wow.

where they pa's dem?

Have these people never heard of condoms? The pill? IUDs?

The blame definitely falls on the PLP for not making these workers permanent.

The incoming government, though, however should tread carefully with its general election popularity.

Everyday I read the headlines it appear there is a slow change of tide with the Minnis administration.

Once the few arrests that have yet to have a trial started have blown over, its like like the real FNM start to slowly but surely leak out.. BOB flip flop, Bahamar flip flop, VAT repeal flip flop..

Careful there.

Think the whole idea was to give them temporary jobs for votes. How else do you explain how approximately 1,700 workers are added to the payroll just before election but mysteriously couldn't be employed in the 5 years that the PLP was in power.

I understand that the whole idea was give them jobs until after election and they would have been let go anyhow. The PLP just wanted to get back in.

That's no letter from the government. . .it says "the cooperation" hired you as etc. The cooperation cannot hire nobody to a permanent position in the public services. They get swing. . .I guess if the PLP did win the last election nobody would have been the wiser. . .slipped them right into the door. . .after their temp period had expired!! Slick. . .liars!

Government probation is one year. . .1st year vacation is 4 weeks and sick leave per year is 28 days!! Further more. . .the letter sender may be trying to swing us too! In public service communication **letter heads are most important**. . .so important that with no letter head on a letter purported to be sent by a government department. . .no company in this nation will entertain any request for services. . .he seem to be hiding the letter head. . .which will tell you just where the letter came from!

Did you get a load of the health insurance benefits? Is that sick leave standard for civil servants? Wow!

41 years old with ((TEN)) CHILDREN??????

Outside of infertility issues, it's easy to get pregnant. Some persons never developed the ability to make wise decisions. And even those who do can make dumb ones. At 41 it's probably a blessing that she doesn't have 15-20 children. As Sammy Starr would say, she is who she is so what we gone do? Meaning she can't put the children back, there are more like her and more coming up like her, so what we gone do? I'd say education has to find a way to link choices in school to life after school. Have an idea that I believe would help...

Ten children; six children? I ain't reading the rest.

What is that 'scale' calculation all about? $10,400 X 500 - 22,600 that equals $5,177,400 - WTF!

That's public pay scales recording and it says starts at $10,400 x 500 yearly increments that terminates at $22,600 if there are no promotions within 7 years!

Maybe this Lady should try and get some assistance from the Father (Fathers) of her ten children. Maybe it's time they stepped up??

My point exactly

Wishful thinking, rightful thinking, but wishful.

More than likely the fathers have no money to help, and no skills to get enough money to help. The most that could be done to them is to throw them in jail which I'm not convinced helps anyone. I'd say the children are the ones to focus on, the only way the children get out of this is through education.

Her plight is probably multiplied a thousand times over

There's 20 million being allotted to "constituency work", might as well have left the Urban Renewal line item in place for as much thought as went into that. I HOPE the larger part of that money isn't going to fix things that will need refixing in another year. But I'm almost certain they will give it to a few men to pull weeds and hack up the grass. I'd pay for some people to get some skills over and above being a waiter. Skills that will earn them a living wage. For example, rather sending people to weed, let them go through landscaping courses teaching how to properly maintain landscapes. There's a shanty town problem. Get some young men involved in constructing small cheap hurricane resistant homes, train them properly so when it's done they can move to bigger projects.

Each mp needs to know who is in their constituency, who needs help, and what kind of help they need, I said this from May 11th. I'm disappointed it hasn't happened. Then and ONLY then can they say that 20 million is going toward programs that the constituency needs. What age groups do you have, are they reading? Are they remedial? Are they working? What skills do they have, what skills does the country need, what skills can be taught in the short /long term? It takes thought but no one is thinking, just creating a lot of theatre marching people to court to distract from not having any plans.

Oh and after they're done with that landscaping course give them a project to convert a pilot area into a green space, something that looks like the cable beach strip, right in their community. And not the basketball park or the roundabout, they are relatively ok. Pick a spot that has high visibility but is in **desperate** need of transformation, make it look like a paradise. That's their project, every constituency. They can even partner with the construction students on that.

IF that was in fact a legal contract between a Bahamas Government Corporation and a BAHAMIAN employee, and that contract is so easily broken, what about the contract between the Bahamas Government BEC/BPL Corporation and a FOREIGN firm? Let's break that one too. TRIBUNE, why not publish the BAIC contract in its entirety (AND the one between PLP and Power Secure)?
