I nominate Roger, for having an attitude that's beyond the call...way, WAY beyond the call!
ReplyDeleteNO ONE CARE for EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION/BUSINESS AWARD!
ReplyDeleteVery sad did not GET an award of KIM RHODES, DAYS IN TOWN TAXI for services, medical cares in Springfield VT. He shoveled his neighbor, elderly person that cannot get out, without asking without CHARGE!
Not sure if shoveling out your neighbor is worthy of these award. I do it all of the time, it is instinctive.
DeleteHowever, I do have a problem with Days in Town Taxi and "left lane lounging". Me and many others have been forced to pass their taxi in the right lane between Springfield and I91, as he only drives in the passing lane every where he goes.
Kim Rhodes, "Keep Right Except to Pass". Your taxi plastered with Trump stickers does not give you extra rights. You only insight road rage when you do not pull over and then speed up when we are forced to pass you in the right lane.
Getting a bit off topic, but he also parks in the fire lane at Shaw's to "run in" and get a "few" things..... Really?
DeleteToo funny, I follow his taxi tonight and noticed all bumperstickers have been removed, though you can still see where they once there.
DeleteDoug Johnston!
ReplyDeleteTim Ford, Lori Twombly, Josh Dufrense from Springfield Hospital. They have failed miserably at leading. Created a negative work environment that once was a positive place to work until they took leadership. One is gone along with the CFO now get rid of these 2 others and start fresh. So many good employees and Dr's lost and are continuing to leave due to the work culture. The board needs to get serious and look further into things instead of brushing things under the rug!! Bullying and harrassment has happened by upper Management and we as a town have lost many good people and now are in a Financial crisis.
