Thank you so much for writing it and for standing up for a man clearly trying his best to do right by his fellow man and especially for those most vulnerable. Such a rare and good thing. Well done, Gene and Lene.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-314262139882051932014-04-27T13:30:58.466-04:002014-04-27T13:30:58.466-04:00I am simply appalled at the behavior of the THC B...I am simply appalled at the behavior of the THC Board. For all of Toronto, this is simply a disgrace and downright shabby treatment of an individual who was hired to clean up that 'snake pit' and somehow get the dilapidated THC ship headed in a better direction. The THC system for change just isn't there and all the complacent workers who did things 'as usual' without any sense of urgency to make a difference should all be happy now. Unfortunately the residents of all of the THC buildings are now having to go back to a non-responsive, let-them-rot attitude that is simply a disgrace. Toronto should be ashamed of its attitude and actions towards Gene Jones. As a city you've certainly taken a step back into the dark ages. It's a travesty from every angle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-4270619111711644562014-04-25T15:16:18.399-04:002014-04-25T15:16:18.399-04:00Compare Jones with Andy Byford, who brings the sam...Compare Jones with Andy Byford, who brings the same concern for customers without the attitude that he just decides things and underlings just have to make it happen without regard to whether it is appropriate.Mark Dowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399115211805036553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-32032738351514759542014-04-25T14:50:57.399-04:002014-04-25T14:50:57.399-04:00That sounds like he was doing a great job.

Unfortunately, as an employee for the municipal government you cannot hire whoever you want, and give raises anytime you want, unless of course you are the Mayor. There are policies and procedures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
