And the seven day a week job, is what most bermudians don’t want. They don’t want to give up their parties and don’t for cup match, Bermuda day and any other holiday even though when you’re in hospitality you get time and a half for working holidays.

We have some really stupid people on these blogs, who would thing that a Bermudian with a senior hotel position would not want to work weekends or public holidays. Any moron in a hurry would surely know the hotel is a seven days a week operation.

It is there for Bermudians yes but they might have to work a weekend, May 24th, Cop Metch. It will never happen. So stop complaining when they bring in a foreign manager – or step up to the plate.

How many Bermudian hotel workers have degrees from universities in hospitality at a senior level? How many Bermudians have sneior hotel experience in hotel operations in other but similar jurisdictions in the world? Or should it just be length of service that makes the manager?
It is there for Bermudians if they want it. It seems now that things are tight they want it, otherwise it does seem like a lot of work. And work weekends and holidays….those days are over!
Oh well, some jobs may be opening in the kitchen porterage area. Nothing like working ones way up.

Not re-newing work permits for pot washer positions… Why can’t the government not re-new permits for General managers so we Bermudians can make some real money for a change.

There are so many Bermudian Division Directors at all of our hotels. I’m sure their qualified.

All these foreign General Managers come to Bermuda live Great lives get all this experience from Bermudians and add it to their resume’s. They should be here to train a Bermudian to replace them once their term is up.

How many Bermudian General Manager’s do we have in Bermuda? How many Hotels do we have in Bermuda? Who knows more about running a hotel in Bermuda? and who will more likely bring another Bermudian along with them to the top? Cause none of these foreign GM’s are doing it. IM JUST SAYING.

The question that needs to be asked, though, is this… was he fired, or did he resign? I am leaning towards the former.
