The fact that they did not advertise for the job in Bermuda gives me pause. Are there no Bermudian lab Managers or Technicians at KEMH that are capable of doing the job? Better book my flight for my next check up.

He didn't do a good job of distancing himself.

From the ad:


From Dr Brown:


Err, how does it not say the job will begin in Bermuda by 1 Dec?

Whoever wrote the Gazette article doesn't understand how Immigration works either.


While the author of the article is focusing on the time line they've missed the import of the bolded text.  If there is a Bermudian applicant that meets the letter of the requirements in the ad Immigration insists the employer offer them the job.  It's not a case of whether or not the expat is better or not.  It's whether a qualified Bermudian has applied.  Full stop.  The exceptions occur when the position is sufficiently senior that Immigration will grant approval for a work permit without advertising.  This position isn't that senior (and with the exception of the requirement for a degree in cell biology I expect there are inumerable lab technicians at the hospital that could easily do the job).

 

True.  But their reactions tend to be very predicatable.

Leaving aside for a brief moment the need for strict licencing, I fail to see how anyone can be an effective Premier with so many outside interests. Surely the job deserves undivided attention? Add to that the need to avoid conflicts of interest...

Good one! (Although I'm not sure everyone will get it; BB is a bit of a cult item. I, of course, have my own official BB headband! :-)

Gee thanks Blankman. That was swell. I think I just experienced a flashback, or was it a hot flash - whatever.

And Noel, is that Coward?, we'll want a picture in that headband.
