If there were more educated qualified bahamians that could do the work, Baha Mar could/would probably hire them....but when you have under-skilled, ill trained and educated people, companies are forced to hire others. So get your education, expectation from workers and level of service up and maybe, just maybe you can compete on an international basis. Until then, be glad you have forced companies to hire your people.....i'll never hire bahamians to work for my company for sure!!
So, just to remind myself, who owns baha mar and the construction going on there? Is it the government now? The Bahamian Government seem to easily forget that if they make it too hard for businesses to do business here, people will leave. Or not come at all and go places where governments make it easy to do business. Oh, wait...that's already happening! Other nations in the Caribbean are keeping arms open to business and stealing business from the Bahamas. My take on Bahamians and their government is they are short sighted, politically immature and lack business experience. That's why this country will ALWAYS be a 2nd rate, 3 world nation.
Having had dogs on our chicken farm, i can tell ya, anytime a dog gets the taste of blood, they will continue to look for it....and more of it....so expect more for sure unless they are dealt with. Law suit just awaiting for sure...
Please do not let this issue rest! The BEC is one of the most inefficiently run, outdated, inept management, over staffed/redundant positions, as well as ineffective power companies in the western hemisphere. And i've lived all over the world. THe power grid in India and China is better and more reliable than here. While other countries are making efforts to streamline for efficiencies and attracting businesses as well as making the lives of their people easier and helping to save money, the bahamian government seem to be running the other way and the powers-to-be at BEC are greedily lining their pockets with blood money....blood money of the working class here on the island. No wonder this nation is viewed as 3rd world by most people. Entities such as BEC are a prime example of how NOT to run a company and a country that is held hostage by one entity, and this affects the lives of everyone! So, please keep this pressure on to hold them accountable and don't believe their propaganda.
had a question for the publishers of this site. How come you always lead off with murders and political stories in the #1 location? We get tired of always hearing/seeing negative news....there are many other positive things happening on this island for sure! How about reporting those sometimes and give us a break....who knows, something good may actually come of it...
