BGA Wholesale Distributors..... is this company safe for the citizens of Bermuda?

Illegally seized computer equipment.

2008-07-22T00:07:00.005-03:00

My Name is David Ingles

I was the MIS manager for BGA between September 2005 and January 14 2008. And like my four predecessors before me I was forced to resign from my position by the CEO of BGA Mr. John Tomlinson after being given a choice of either being fired or resigning my position.
The CEO's reason for firing me, he said I questioned his integrate.

As anybody who knows this man will tell you, you cant question something you never had.

On January 5 2008 I purchased a 14 server Blade Center for the backup hotsite computer room over at BakeryLane where BGA houses their Backup Computer room.
I was told to purchase this equipment as part of my departments budged expendatures for 2008 to replace failing equipment that had been previosly repaired more than once and was about to fail again and had a high priority to be replaced before that happened. The equipment was to used to house an application for BGA and her sister company the Pheonix which had been discussed and approved previously and was in thr planning phase at the time of my dismissal from the company.

The reason I was dismissed from BGA happened on or about the last week of December 2007, I stopped the IT manager, Mr Pierre Doyle and the CEO of the Phoenix, Mr George Grundmuller from violating companies Computer Security policy by installing software that was known to be harmful to the companies Computer systems by installing known computer Viruses.
After the incident took place instead of immediately dismissing the two from their positions as required by the company's policy handbook, I was instead forced to resign two weeks later for not following the orders of the senior managers of the company. Instead of being rewarded for protecting the companies property I was force out for disobeying the orders of the CEO of the Pheonix and by not letting him install software harmful to the companies Computer systems.
While it was a surprise that I was given the choice to either be fired of resign, it wasn't a complete surprise that after two weeks of verbal abuse and interrogations from the CEO of BGA about previously authorized projects and procedures over the last several months, were now conveniently unknown and a complete mystery to Mr John Tomlinson. Along with the assistance of the HR manager Jennifer Kearns I was not allowed to speak and defend myself.
I was told to write up resignation letter with a specified two weeks notice. At the end of the Day I was paid off and let go from the job.
The following Blog explain the companies violation of their own policy if anybody knows someone on the board of BGA please pass this address on to them. Im sure someone would like to know what the two CEO's are up to.

WARNING
to all computer users, there is a Virus located on the BGA Website, it is harmful and it will do damage to your computer if you pick it up. This Virus is a direct result of the HR managers incompetence. Do not go to the BGA Website unless you are heavily Virus protected.
The Virus is extremely hard to remove.
WARNING

After Being fired from the company on January 14th 2008 the CEO of BGA decided to not pay for the piece of equipment that was purchased for BGA, stating later though his lawyer that he had not authorized the purchase of this equipment. Before that he stated in a letter that I had not offered to sell him the equipment. After I offered to sell him the equipment he refused to buy it because he said that he and the new CFO had a company policy setting a limitation on purchases to $1000.00 and that I had exceeded that amount and therefore was not authorized to purchase the equipment.

To this day nobody at BGA has seen this company policy in writing, nor did it exist at the time I was fired. Its not in the current company handbook of company policies nor was the existing handbook ever updated to reflect the new policies. Also nothing has ever been posted on the companies notice boards about any changes to the company policies.

This piece of equipment was purchased to be a disaster recovery backup for the primary systems located at the BGA warehouse at Mills Creek. The equipment was budgeted for and I was told to purchase equipment up to a limit of Forty Thousand Dollars The equipment was purchased by myself as he had done several dozen times before. I would find the best deals for the equipment as part of my job, then buy the equipment himself and then expensing the invoice money to the accounting department went the equipment arrived, not before. This process ended up costing me a lot of money, but when I requested that the extra expense be paid by the BGA, the CFO told me that they would not pay the extra expense.

Explanation of why I was so stupid as to use my own credit card.
The reason I used my credit card which was definitely a stupid move was becuase all of the vendors I dealt with were in the US, Canada, China and Europe. None of these companies would except a credit card that had a Post office box as a billing address. Also the company credit card was not a company credit card but the John Tomlinson's Credit Card which was in most cases almost always at the credit limit and required the accounting department to track all purchases to it before adding more money on to it. This process in most cases took to long for some of the vendors to hold equipment at the present pricing. It became more expedient to just buy the equipment and get the money back when it was delivered. Yes a very big mistake on my part becuase I trusted the owner and the CEO of BGA. Something I was warned never to do.
If you are reading this BLOG listen to someone who has been screwed as have all the other IT managers who worked for BGA. Dont ever trust the management of BGA and never trust the Owner Wendall Brown and the CEO John Tomlinson. You will regret it.

What was never paid the money needed to wire transfer the funds from my Paypal account to the Vendor or the Wire transfer to my Visa company in Canada, nor was I compensated for the loss of money during the exchange rate between the Bermuda Dollar and the Canadian or US Dollar. In addition there was usually a lose that happened while waiting for the equipment to arrive and the accounting departments delay to pay the invoice. None of these expenses over the period of time that I worked for BGA was paid for, nor was there ever an effort to compensate me even though it had been pointed out several times to the previous CFO Jane Hulse and the new CFO Simon Coombes of the accounting department.

While the losses did amounted to a lot of money it was only after I went to a lawyer and Sued BGA for wrongful dismissal that I was accused of profiteering from the purchase of computer equipment with his credit card. Simon Commbes knowledge of my disclosed purchases with my credit card and the fact that my credit card as most peoples credit card collects air miles was disclosed to both CFO's and was now being used against me in a court case. That case has yet to be resolved.

I saved this company tens of thousands of dollars by purchasing their computer equipment as a function of my position and my reward was to be accused of doing something illegal. Something that had been disclosed to them from the first day was used against me when they had nothing else to use. Something that had been offers to be turned over to the company and was refused.

To this day
The BladeCenter was paid for by myself at price of over $13000.00. That BladeCenter is sitting in BGA's warehouse, they do not have my permission to store it nor have they made a single payment to me in order to use it.
BGA took it upon themselfs to pickup the Bladecenter from Bermuda Custom without my permission and paid the entry duty without my permission and is now holding the computer equipment hostage as part of a tacktick to get me to drop my lawsuit.

In the mean time my property is sitting in a warehouse full of birds that crap all over everything including the food, their are rats the size of a large cats that nest anywhere and eat anything they want and amount of black mold and bugs that infest BGA would make anybody ill.

28-Magazine Distribution.

This is another division of BGA that does great business, they run a smooth operation, they make a lot profit and they don't piss anybody off. Even better they make a lot of money and they stay with the trends of the world and Bermuda, and that's hard to maintain when your Boss is still living in the 1800's.
An excellent department, the manager is a smart Bermudian woman. Excellent at her job, very capable.

Some how I doubt we will see her working over in the Mills Creek location, but who cares, I'm sure she would agree she's better off working where she is.

There seems to be a severe color blending problem in the management ranks at BGA. Im sure as a Black Man and owner of BGA and the Phoenix Stores, Mr. Wendall Brown would agree that he doesn't have a problem with race at his companies. He lets the foreigners he hired to run and manage his companies take care of that pesky black people problem, and if they dont like it they can leave, in the mean time he can just keep molesting the women that work for him. As long as Mr. Brown has owned the businesses he seems to think he can spend his day feeling up the women. He can do that! who going to tell him he can't. Their all afraid of losing their jobs if they say anything against him.

Have you noticed that the divisions of BDC2000 (Thats BGA, the Pheonix stores and SAL) that are not under the direct control of John Tomlinson always exceed expectations, or is it just the fact that these people are no longer being chained down by out of dated, old fashion, Victorian, 18th century thinking, a shoe salesmans business practices, whipping Bermudians into some thing they are not, the bad sell is long dead in todays business environment but the CEO of BGA hasn't moved with the times since he married his way onto the Island. In fact its only when Mr. Tomlinson insists that he be the controller for the divisions of what has been a profitable venture is when the company see's trouble in bad decisions as well bad relation with customer and staff. All around bad management. It seems he likes to squeeze the company in the wrong places until the company passes out. You might say a slavers way and not a leaders way of doing business.

I think Victoria Spenser is a Leader in Bermuda Business that knows how to work with her employees for a goal.

Bermuda watch this woman she is going to out pace the men she works for and eventually leave them in the dust where they belong.

She might own this company some day.

27-Shouldn't the Bermuda Government be protecting the consumer.

2008-06-29T12:02:00.005-03:00

I have always thought that in a truly democratic society government protects the public, and in order for that to happen that means a certain amount of faith in the people who represent Bermuda has always been implied. Most ex-pats and tourists are not use to the levels of indifference demonstrated by the Government in Bermuda. The staff at BGA have always wondered why all levels of government stay away from this company. From the police to the fire department, from the heath department to immigration and customs, nobody seems to be concerned that Bermuda needs protection from BGA. When the Health Minister of Bermuda several months ago stood up in front of the news media and annouced that food purchased in the local markets had been found to have living bugs in it, the public wanted to know what he was going to do about it. Instead of giving a plan to track down the source of the contamination he lied and told the consumer that the food in question was not contaminated from the local suppliers, but that it was the foreign suppliers fault, the products were shipped with the bugs in it, how did he know that? how would he know that? who told him that? The management at BGA was relieved they had dodged another bullet, the heath department never sent one person to inspect BGA, all they did was make a phone call to the company's management tell them that they would handle the problem. . When people were finding bugs in there boxes of cereal and the government said they were investigating, Investigating where? why is it they never went to BGA the first logical place to check, but it never happened. It never happens BGA is never inspected by the Health Department, Never ever.
BGA must have a lot of friend in a lot of high places, I know there have been a lot of formal complains to the health department about the conditions, so why is it nobody can ever remember seeing a single health inspector from the health Department coming to the building and inspecting. Every country has their own rules for inspection but I have always assumed the health department investigated all complaints when it had to do with the public safety and the handling of food. Not at BGA, this company is so filthey I would never buy food from any store that sells their products. I may work for BGA but Im not stupid enough to get poisoned by them.
BGA's facilities are in extremely bad condition and their should be proper government rules and guide lines from the Bermuda health department, but nobody I know has ever seen anyone make an appearance at BGA. Even after a second occurance of comtaminated food and the local TV stations showed bugs crawling out of a cereal boxes and that some people didn't notice the bugs until they had already started to eat the cereal. Why then again did the governments health department ignore BGA as the source of the contamination. While I don't believe that the management of BGA would purposely hurt anybody, I also don't believe they do enough to protect the public and their own staff. Part of that protection should be to make sure everything possible is being done for the customer.

Most of the food products sold in Bermuda through BGA are not from the United States, Canada or the UK but from countries that do not exactly encourage proper handling practices or health standards. I don't believe the Government of Bermuda is protecting the consumer by allowing BGA to continue their business as usual. Something should be done or somebody is going to get hurt its just a matter of time.

Warning
To anybody reading the information on the BGA website.
I know most people when they are interested in a position at a company they go and check out that companies website.
Be informed the information on the BGA website is at the least FICTION.
For Example this company describes its warehouse as a
"STATE OF THE ART FACILITY HOUSING AN AUTOMATED INVENTORY AND SALES ORDERING SYSTEM."

This Companies Facilities may have been "State of the Art" 30 plus years ago but today their warehouse is a metal toilet that should have been flushed over a decade ago. The building is infested with Rats, Birds and Bugs and is so dangerous to the public and staff that the Fire Department has refused to enter the building if it ever catches on fire. The electrical is so bad that no electrician will even touch the existing wiring. The buildings roof has been leaking for so long that its now life threatening to stand beside the northeast corner of the building, the only thing holding up that part of the warehouse is the paint. Ever air vent in the warehouse is an escape exit for the birds and rats and the level of rust to the structural beams could have only happened over decades. Nobody has a clue as to what disease are growing in the company's internal ventilation shafts, but almost everybody has some kind for health problem related to the bad air circulation and mold problems. In 1995 the company was not owned by Wendall Brown, but with the help of the company's CEO Mr. John Tomlinson when was purchased in 2002 has managed to drive the companies facilities to the level of the worst third world countries. BGA's computer application used for sales and inventory control are so obsolete that most of the equipment could only be found in a museum and the only way they can get support is to lie about the conditions. Most reputable computer vendors in the US and Canada wont sell to them.

If you value your reputation dont work for this company. Just a little friendly advice.

23-Has anybody from law enforcement ever looked in these containers.

2008-06-29T11:25:00.009-03:00

Several years ago the CEO from the Phoenix moved two containers too the BGA property and left them there right in clear sight behind the the front gate. Nobody has any clue whats inside them, nobody has ever been inside them and when anybody asks, nobody knows. Well don't you think somebody should open these containers to see what the CEO from the Phoenix has been hiding on the BGA property for all of these years. I know your thinking I'm crazy their just a couple of containers, but look closely, have you noticed the air vent on the top, if its just a container what does it need an air vent for? Have you ever seen any of the other containers with air vents? I know the limitation on some crimes is only seven years. How long have those containers been out there? These two containers are right beside where people eat every day, what exactly is the management of BDC2000 hiding in the containers on their property, maybe the police should take a look.

21-Pest control, are you being poisoned?

2008-06-16T01:09:00.009-03:00

After doing the research,the problems I continue to have after all of the years of continually being exposed to the poisons being pumped into BGA, I decided to provide a little more information to the people who work there.Since we're all being poisoned daily by the management of BGA and Bermuda Pest Control.I say that because nobody gave me a choice. Do I get poisoned or not?I Guess I do have a choice I can work or not work.Believe it or not every time a living thing crosses the line from the outside to the inside of BGA's warehouse we are being poisoned because the poison never leaves.

Here's what the BGA management and Bermuda Pest Control is telling you.
The Insecticide sprayed at BGA is save for humans.
The Insecticide will only effect Bugs.
The last two statements are not true.

First off I feel sorry for the guy that works for Bermuda Pest Control that comes into the BGA warehouse and insists that what he is doing is safe and harmless. This man is poisoning his body by not wearing protection and by believing what the industry tells him is true. I suspect this guy will never see old age. If he does I wouldn't to see his insides.Here is a little truth that Management and Bermuda Pest Control isn't telling you.First of all the type of poisons they are using are safe but with very specific requirements listed as follows.The Bug spraying is not to be left in an enclosed area.

What this means is once it is sprayed and the bugs are exposed to the insecticide, humans are not suppose to remain in the general area of the poison as it will be absorbed into the body up to 17 days after spraying.

This type of Insecticide is a Neurotoxin, which causes the nervous system in bug and other animals to literally scream themselves to death. A neurotoxin increases the sensitivity of the cells ability to feel. Once exposed to the poison the bug or animal will then literally feel their nerves kill them.Humans can have different effects when exposed to such poisons. You may have noticed tremors, headaches, Eye pain. Sinus Pain, breathing problems, skin rashes.
Do any of these symptoms some familiar. The company's like Bermuda Pest control won't acknowledge that these problems are symptoms of insecticide poisoning because there is no prove, their industry doesn't test any of their product on humans nor do they keep records on long term exposure records of their products on humans. There are no recent cases of legal proceedings against Bermuda Pest Control probably because the people involved cant prove it was insecticide exposure. The last person at BGA who dead from a mysterious ailment past away in 2007 he was a long term employee with a history of long term exposure to the insecticide.

Was in the bug spray?
who knows.

Since this type of poison has to accumulate in the body over a long period of time to cause damage before it causes cancer it is hard to determine if its the insecticide or something else that has caused this persons illness. An necropsy would need to be performed.

IF ANYBODY AT BGA HAS CANCER, ANY KIND OF LUNG DISEASE OR SKIN DISEASEPLEASE DO NOT RULE OUT INSECTICIDE POISONING. CONTACT THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY(EPA) FOR INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE HUMAN CARCINOGENS.

Did you know that all of the testing done on the insecticide used by companies like Bermuda Pest Control is tested exclusively on animals and bugs not against HUMANS. I know what your saying now, that's exactly what an insecticide is used for so that's where it should be tested and you would be right except that the testing is rarely cross referenced to human beings. What that means is the poison that they are constantly pumping into the BGA Mill Creek warehouse is tested on the cells of insects and animals such as rats, mice and birds, etc but the industry makes assumptions that it will only kill bugs or certain animals based on the damage done to a living cell but at the same time they make the assumption that since those cells are not from a human the chemical is safe for humans. For example the most commonly used insecticide utilized in the industry today is called Permethrin and it is used to fog the inside of large buildings such as a Warehouse for bugs like flea's, lice, maggots, cockroaches etc.... what companies like Bermuda Pest Control do is they use this type of insecticide of a couple of reasons first it was designed to be distributed as a mist and that mist can be controlled. Depending on the application the size of the droplets can be increased or decreased in size depending on what your trying to kill (type of bug) .

Permethrin is on of the most common insecticides used in the industry today.

Insecticides like Permethrin is a neurotoxin its used depending on two things, the kind of applicator and the location, whether it is for indoor or outdoor use.
Bermuda Pest control would like everybody to believe that the chemicals they use are 100% safe for humans and will only kill bugs or rodents. The truth is it causes a lot more damage then that and it does it to "people". Chemicals insecticides like Permethrin are in the same classification of poisons as DDT. The effects are the same. the build up in the body is the same and the toxic effects to humans are the same.

Here is a list of the thing you didn't know.

Persistence
According to EPA, half-life (the amount of time required for half of the original amount of a chemical to break down or move away from the study site) was 17 days in a North Carolina agricultural soil and 43 days in Illinois. When used as a termiticide, permethrin persists longer; soil concentrations did not decline during the first year. Permethrin also persists longer in tree needles, foliage, and bark, up to 363 days. The ability of permethrin to persist in the environment was graphically illustrated by a study of an application of permethrin ear tags to cattle. Permethrin was found on all surfaces analyzed, not only on the cattle, but also on the bark of trees in their pasture, on a fence pole, and in grass. Some residues were found three months after the ear tags were applied.

To the residents of Bermuda BGA is PUMPING unregulated amounts of a neurotoxic poison into the BGA warehouse. These poisons are accumulating in the environment and over time are poisoning the people who work at BGA. There are people that have worked and died in the warehouse for more then 20 years.
Which means those people have been poisoned on a monthly bases for over 20 years.

Mutagenicity
Permethrin was mutagenic (damaging to genetic material) in three tests with human cell cultures, one with hamster cells, and one with fruit fly larvae. In cultures of human lymphocytes (white blood cells), permethrin exposure caused an increase in chromosome aberrations, chromosome fragments, and DNA lesions. In hamster ovary cell cultures, permethrin exposure caused chromosome aberrations. Exposure to Ambush (a permethrin-containing insecticide) during larval development increased sex-linked lethal mutations in fruit flies.

Carcinogenicity
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), permethrin is a possible human carcinogen (chemical that causes cancer). EPA found that permethrin increased the frequency of lung tumors in female mice, and increased the frequency of liver tumors in male and female mice. The World Health Organization reports that permethrin increased the frequency of lung tumors in females in two out of the three mouse studies it reviewed. Lung tumors increased with increasing permethrin exposure in the third study, but the increase was not statistically significant.There are no publicly available studies of the carcinogenicity of permethrin-containing insecticide products.There are two molecular mechanisms which could explain permethrin�??s carcinogenicity. First, permethrin reduces the activity of an enzyme involved in the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan. This can lead to the buildup of carcinogenic.

Although there are no formal studies related to insecticide poisoning in Bermuda there is one case where a famous family had a medical procedure was done between 1998 and 2002 in order to find out the cause of some very serious problems with a family member. Mr Frank Gamble had a Necropsy performed on his wife to find out why she was showing all of the symptoms of a stroke, after the medical procedure was performed in London England it was found that she actually had high levels of insecticide poisoning, specifically BAYGON poisoning. The Insecticide was causing severe nerve and brain damage. Her system was flushed of the toxin but it never recovered.

BGA Brings in Tons of this product to Bermuda every month. There is no special handling procedures. There are no warnings posted to the Staff. There are no protective gear handed out to the employee's.

People are getting sick and the BGA warehouse is getting more and more toxic.

20-Sick building, Sicker people.

2008-06-16T01:06:00.005-03:00

There have been a lot of people at BGA getting sick because of the poor quality of the air coming out of the ventilation system and although the management feeble attempts to assure the staff that it's safe to breathe nobody believes it. Along with air quality reports stating that the building is safe, nobody who works their is going to believe anything from the management when they know the facts.The facts are this.You can't get a company to do a test on the air quality without telling them that a pesticide company is pumping poison into the building on a regular base and people are getting sick, but believe it or not that isn't the worse.Have you ever seen stories of contaminated water, bacteria that had been sitting in that stagnant water for so long that nobody knows what is growing in it or what damage it could do to a person. Well I'm going to tell you.On the second floor of the BGA Building as you come up the stair and into the main lobby of the office area you will see a very, very small receptionist area. This area belongs to Lavern, she is the receptionist for BGA, a thank less job only made worse by the fact that her work area is the size of a small three foot, by five foot closest. This area is so small there literally isn't enough room to turn around in a chair. Prisoners get bigger rooms.Lavern spends all day, 5 days a week 8 hours a days in this little hole of a reception area taking only her lunch hour off to remove herself from this Box, the rest of the time she answers the phones, takes care of BGA's deliveries and handles anybody who comes to the reception area, and believe me that is a job you have to respect.A while ago the air-conditioning unit over her desk which supplies most of the cold air for that part of the building started to leak. The managements solution, "don't fix it we don't own it" unfortunately that solution had a small flaw. Lavern was underneath it when it decided to dump. This unit has been leaking the equivalent of a bacteria, bug infested, Virus stew muck that's full of dirt (at least I think that's dirt) that leaked into the lights above her head before it falls all over the desk, the electrical equipment, the chair she sits on every day and the floor she stands on. The walls were covered with the stuff and the ceiling is stained with it.... everywhere.She did her best to clean this area up but given the fact that the receptionist desk is made out of a wood which is not exactly sterile and is probably as old as the building itself, what ended up happening was the stuff just absorbed into the wood. The Management should have immediately called in cleaners to helped her when it happened but as we all know the management of BGA won't replace anything they don't own and the warehouse is owned by Marketplace, their for the receptionist desk is owned by Marketplace. So the only conclusion you can make from this is the receptionist for BGA is expendable, worth less then the furniture she works on.Moving on from the nonsense.Ever since this happened Lavern has been sick and I'm not talking a cold, I talking sick, say at home cant move, loose your breakfast lunch and dinner sick and its been happening to the point where she is sick more often then she is well. Now do you think the Management has put this together of even cares that one of their employee's is constantly sick because of the building throwing up on her. "NO".Their non stop complaint is not the leak or the mess or the smell or the fact that there is a toxic waste dump in the middle of their reception area. Their biggest complaint is that they have to find a replacement every time she calls in sick like its her fault that the building is in such critical need of repair that it dumped all the crap built up from the first day that unit was installed probably over 20 years ago unit now, and BGA is making her sit in it every day and expecting her not to get sick.Do you believe this company.

19-Who's In Charge of the Pharmacy Warehouse?

2008-06-16T00:55:00.009-03:00

January 1/2008

The Manager of the Pharmacy department at the Bakerylane location, Mr. Jon Turner packed up the last of his belongings and boarded an airplane to London. His Family had moved back to England over the previous 6 months and Mr. Turner had decided with his wife and girls that the atmosphere of Bermuda had lost its appeal. But was he quiting BGA, apparently not what had been decided was to try something new. Since Mr. Turner never made customer calls in person and never made contact with the public except over the phone, it was decided to see if he could run his department from his home in England. This was a very interesting idea and had its merits because it was Jon Turner that had made the department a success and part of that success was in large part to his ability to control his department and resources without interference from the CEO of BGA. Fortunately Mr. Turner department started out and remained the main stay of BGA's revenue base and although the BGA warehouse the CEO insisted on control within the BGA warehouse the selling of pharmaceuticals was a little bit out of his depth. As a result Mr. Turners skills were more pivotal with the increase of business to the company as he was able to increase sales and profit within the department. Now an asset like that you don't want to lose. There is just a couple of small problems which most people don't realize.The first problem had to do with going back to England and taking the job with you, your taking a job that a Bermudian might be able to do, after all the requirement for the job is that you have to be a qualified Pharmacist nothing more.

Next
The second problem is related to the first problem in that there is no longer a pharmacist on duty in the warehouse and therefore since Mr. Turner is not in Bermuda doing a job from Bermuda is he a legally a Pharmacist in Bermuda. Complicated I know. Put it this way. If you try to get a drug prescription over the Internet from a company on the Net, who can legally write a prescription to that company, what country will accept that you are qualified to prescribe.

Next
The third problem, is the people left in charge and that is when Mr. Turner left the company for England he left his assistant in charge, who is not a Pharmacist or a Doctor but a non practising registered Nurse. A long with Mr. Turner she does the purchasing for the department. She is also one of the most bigoted people against Bermudians on the island, although in all fairness she does think fairly, she thinks they are all stupid and far below her, you know, the typical American.

And lastly

Problem number four, the Bermuda Government still hasn't decided if a pharmacist in London England can pick narcotics over 3000 miles away and still be legally a Bermuda pharmacist.You decide, can you trust BGA with the minimal effort and safeguards in place, can you trust them not to poison you and give you the right drugs.Now this case is a little different, but in Canada, the US and through out the UK their have been hundreds of lawsuits where pharmacist have handed out the wrong drugs. Now in this case your talking about a pharmacist remote controlling drugs to be sent out to a pharmacy. How can you possible hold a pharmacist accountable for any damages including a possible death if he isn't around to take responsibility. And how can you blame anybody who is taking orders from that person if they get an order wrong and kill someone, they have not been trained nor have they been hired with the responsibility of a pharmacist. Lastly a nurse, no matter how competent she may believe is still a Nurse and not a Pharmacist. The Pharmacists of Bermuda should be aware that BGA is jeopardizing their reputations for an experiment. That's the law in the UK, Canada and the United States. If anybody is given the wrong medication it can trace it back to BGA's warehouse and if you allow this company to possibly kill someone your allowing them to get away with it because they are not going to fix this until someone gets killed.Now their were plans talked about that may have worked where a digital camera placed over the area allowing the pharmacist to see what was being picked as it was being picked might have worked. But there was a major problem in the plan BGA doesn't want camera's monitoring their facility's. So their not. In fact their was a project started to place camera's in strategic positions around the company so the facility could be monitored. Apparently the CEO of BGA found this disturbing and had the project manager fired and at the same time all of the equipment removed from the company. What are you hiding John Tomlinson?
One last look, notice the pictures at the top of the article, see how the doors are open? The doors are always open during business hours letting any would be thief and open door to the parking lot and easy access to the pharmacy warehouse. A child could and has just walked into this place without anyone stopping them. And since there is no camera there is also no record of the offence. Its happened once it can happen again.

18-Strange things going on at BGA, I wonder why?

2008-06-16T00:53:00.004-03:00

I have put in a lot of time working for BGA and during that time I only seen the police twice, once when a couple of aposing gang members were hired in the warehouse and they tried to (not very hard) to kill each other in the parking lot. Pretty dull entertainment for a Monday, the second instance was when one of the warehouse employees killed his girlfriend and went to work as if nothing had happened, I wont even say it was close to entertaining, it was how ever a very sad day even though the management carried on as if nothing happened. Aparently when the management tells the people in the warehouse not to think they actually take it to heart and as soon as they make it past their three month probation period they turn thier brians off. My guess is its the only way they cope. Some obviously dont. A sad day for Bermuda.BGA has had several occasions when things have been stolen from various areas of the company but in almost every case the Police were never called, nor was there any attempt to try and make sure it never happened again. In fact the company seems to go out of its way to make sure their is no security. Case in point, the security codes for BGA main warehouse consist of a fixed digit code, those codes are maintained by a company called Bermuda Security Group who for a fee that BGA never wants to pay will assign a new code to a new employee as they are hired. Because management never wanted to pay the fee when a new employee was hired they also never wanted to deactivate a code when an employee left the company. So they decided to recycle the codes even if it meant that the person using that code might have been fired, the next person to take his or her position would probably get the same code. To this day there have been a lot of people with access to the security codes that have left the employment of BGA but the codes never change they continue to be used. Also because there have been a non-stop revolving door in certain positions within the company, some of the codes have been used by more then one person, in fact several people. If the company was ever broken into and the warehouse robbed, there is no way you could identify who did it based on who had access to the security codes because over the years half the population of Bermuda knows those codes. Last year around the beginning of 2007 a project to purchase and install new surveillance equipment for the warehouse was started. By January 2008 everything was installed and was up and running. As I understand it the equipment was purchase to watch the entrances and exits of the warehouse and not the people working there.That month the whole thing was shelved, the equipment was dismantled and the camera's taken down.It almost like the management of BGA doesn't want anything watched to closely, the management knows there is stealing going on but they obviously don't want anybody to identify who's doing it. If the employee's wanted to prove it isn't them management removed the only thing that would prove it.Its very confusing, I don't understand it, why would you OK the expense of purchasing equipment only to take it down just before you start to use it. It doesn't make sense.Why did they OK it in the first place.The original plan was to purchase camera's to watch the warehouse shipping doors. A few additional camera's were later installed to watch the receiving area doors. The intention was not to watch the warehouse personal but to watch for what was leaving the warehouse. This could have been anything from merchandise to office equipment. The camera's were placed to watch people coming into the warehouse and record what they left with. But once everything was in place the CEO of BGA then decided he didn't want the equipment, why is a complete unknown. I do know that he tried to deflect the approval of the purchase and the installation of the equipment and that after a year of progress he denied he had OK'ed the project and that the individual charged with the project was working on his own. Unfortunately for the CEO there were to many people involved in the process and a paper trail that was signed by him and authorized by him lead straight back to him.Something strange is going on at BGA their security systems are so bad that every time it rains the alarm company usually disregard the alarms. They still call to get the OK but if that verification process takes all night the security company will never call the Police or Fire Department. The place could burn down in a real fire and if nobody told the security what to dothey would never call, for that matter even if they did call and the fire alarms were going off its more than likely the security company would be told to ignore it. There have been so many false alarms at the warehouse that you might as well not have an alarm system.What I would like to know is, what insurance company covers this company and why? I keep waiting for the place to burn down, I'm betting the fire department wouldn't show up to put out a real fire unless the flames threaten the neighborhood. And from what I have been told its more than likely the fire department would show up with hotdogs and marchmellow's and watch the place burn.Possible reasonIn 2004, 2005 a partial survey of what worked and what didn't was done in the warehouse, out of that the Fire department recommended that BGA update some of the fire equipment.Alarm bells, alarms sensors and other things like a formal escape plan and a time scale to do it in which was recommended to be done before a disaster happened. None of these things were ever done because of two reasons. Number one, the expense was very high. although the price of the equipment was low the installation was high, no electrician would touch the existing electrical wiring in the building and insisted on new wiring as part of the quote. Second, and everything comes back to this point BGA does not own the building and therefore will not make improvements to something they don't own, even at the safety of it's own customers and employee's.There is a third factor which I would also like to mention and that is the BGA warehouse itself pre-dates all present construction, structural and electrical requirement codes. Any improvements made to the property would fall under the new building codes and would force the owner to upgrade the entire building. Which means the government cant force Marketplace to improve conditions in the warehouse even if those improvements could be life threatening if they are not done. This could be why the management of BGA stop the surveillance project, a better guess would be that camera's watching the doors would record the coming and going of the rat and bird population and stolen items but management also decided that that would be a very bad idea to have a recording of the building falling on somebody or the building burning down if it also proved negligence on the part of Marketplace and BGA. Think about it BGA employee's, the building your working in is only standing because of one factor, LUCK. Some day that building will collapse from metal fatigue, from rust, from the extra weight put on the roof by building a second one on top of it. I hope BGA's luck holds up and nobody is under it when it happens.If anybody knows the insurance company's name, send me an email. I want to make sure I'm covered by somebody else, anybody else.

17-Lights Lights and more Lights.

2008-06-16T00:52:00.003-03:00

All over the warehouse in every corner in boxes on every floor from the current owners and from the previous owners and probably the owners before that there are florescent lights tubes. Some in boxes. Some brand new. Some burned out. Some broken. Some not in boxes. All of them mixed together so nobody knows which ones work and which ones don't. And now with the lights being replaced a couple of months ago all of these lights should have been gathered up an taken out to the airport to the special area for Mercury Disposal. The BGA warehouse is full of this stuff making it an environmental hazard for Mill Creek and the surrounding area. Is the Mercury leaks into the ground water, probably, it could cause a disaster to the environment requiring the removal of all of the surrounding surface top soil as well as a clean up of Mills Creek of any contamination. Will the management of BGA do anything about it.
No....Because. Its Not our building.

16-Bedding down to some place comfortable.

2008-06-16T00:51:00.004-03:00

Has anybody noticed that there is a king size bed and some furniture on top of single pick area in the BGA warehouse that is covered up with sheets that the rats and the birds are using for nesting material. The covers are filthy and covered with bird crap. Apparently this is furniture left behind by the previous owner of BGA, Ward Young and for some unknown reason its been allowed to become a home for everything that crawls.I'm just wondering when it stopped being furniture and it became garbage. Was that before Mr. Young through it away or after the rats and the birds and the bugs decided to dig holes in it and call it home. Its so hard to decide.This place is like working at the dump except BGA doesnt through out the garbage they buy it, store it, and sell it.

15-More Exposure! (Click here for more information)

2008-06-16T00:45:00.006-03:00

That big patch in the middle of the tile is once again black mold, tell me would you let your children live in a room that's full of mold because the BGA management not only expects it, that's where they put you when your being punished. Here's one for the department of health when an employee is punished for something small infraction their sent to work on the third floor where the concentration of mold, bird Fecal droppings and air born fiberglass from the rafters and rusted out air-conditioner ventilation shafts is higher then any where in the building. BGA Management knows the condition of the air-conditioner but they have no intention of getting it fixed, why because they don't own the building Marketplace does and Marketplace hasn't repaired one thing inside the building since well ...... almost never. They did fix the roof when the water started to drip, did I say drip, I meant pour into a $30,000 laser print and they were told they were going to get the bill for the printer. And there was the time they had to fix the ceiling when it completely separated from the building and fell three floors completely destroying the stair way to the main lobby. Fortunately for Marketplace nobody was under it when it dropped, what do you suppose they will do when the whole building collapses get out the glue.

14-Stand up and Salute :>

2008-06-16T00:42:00.003-03:00

Now how do you suppose a place like the BGA Pharmacy warehouse that leaves the main door to the parking area wide open all day, 5 days a week. Where there are no alarms, no security except after hours, no guards and of course the kicker no cameras because we wouldn't want the criminals to be caught would we. So how did this gracefully person and I do mean gracefully walk in to the BGA warehouse undetected by at least 4 people, like a cat, unobserved by the human eyes I mean this guy had to be Spiderman because he managed to sense and pick up a small box out of all the boxes scattered about. Pick up one single box worth over $10,000 turn around, in broad daylight and then disappear without a trace. Of course this is fiction, right, there's no way a person could do this, and if they did there's no way you could trace the thief and the chances are nobody is going to die, not from that drug, right! WHY you ask?Well I guess the Police could always hang around the hospital looking for someone with a Viagra overdose, someone who's been saluting for more than 4 hours and then they could sweat out the name of his supplier.What I want to know is where are the people who are suppose to regulate the distribution of dangerous medical prescription drugs on this island. No I'm not talking about your neighbor coming back from vacation and bringing back some weed, I'm talking about the people that restrict the importing of prescribe drugs into Bermuda. They appear to be spending all of their time restricting and none of their time making sure the door is closed and to drugs are secure. Take a look around the island their is better security at the Church Street post office than there is in the BGA BAKERYLANE Pharmacy warehouse and I would hope they don't import morphine on purpose. There's better security at the Burnaby Street and Front Street Cigar store and they only sell tobacco. I think the Bermuda Health authority, the Police, the Bermuda government agency that is in charge of regulating drugs on this island should look into this operation. Right now a three year old with a water pistol could rob this place and nobody would see it or even know about it until long after it happened. Remember that location BAKERYLANEjust across the lane from the Redlaser computer store look for Signworx and right up the ramp to the parking lot.

13-The Stolen Ackie.

2008-06-16T00:32:00.006-03:00

BGA staff were you ever told the story about how $20,000 worth of Ackie that was stolen out of the warehouse by Marketplace Staff (sorry allegedly stolen by the Marketplace staff) and that the Ackie was then transported to your local Jamaican Grill (allegedly) where the Bermuda police department watched them unload it off the truck and sell it to the owner of the Jamaican Grill (allegedly) at which time the police reported back to Mr. Wendall Brown who decided to keep his customer rather than have them arrested, so he told the police that he would not press charges. Did it bother you that you were blamed for the theft of the Ackie? Do you still think your being watched? Why do you think the fence at the north end of the warehouse between Marketplace and BGA is now Locked. The Management of BGA knows who stole the Ackie. As far as whether anybody watching you, nobody is watching you, that would also mean somebody could be watching them, think about it. Remember these Camera's, they were suppose to watch the shipping doors so the dispatch area could confirm that shipments were sent out when the customers complained they never received them. They also have the ablity to see long distances and in a wide area. That made Mr. Tomlinson very afraid so he had them all removed. I wonder what the management of BGA is hiding in the shipments received and shipped out from the warehouse. If I didnt know better I would think drugs were involved. But then the Bermuda Customs people would know all about that.

Surprise Surprise more big holes in the ceiling exposing the BGA Staff to the mole the bird droppings, rat dropping, bug droppings, died rats, live rats, died and live cockroaches and yes everybody has had the extreme pleasure and enjoyment of crossing paths with at least one of these little creatures. Their all over the building I wouldn't be surprised to find out their holding the building up. That big patch beside the half missing tile, that's mold, tell me would you let your children live in a room that's full of mold because the BGA management not only expects it, that's where they put you when your being punished. Here's one for the department of health when an employee is punished for something small infraction their sent to work on the third floor where the concentration of mold, bird Fecal droppings and air born fiberglass from the rafters and rusted out air-conditioner ventilation shafts is higher then any where in the building. BGA Management knows the condition of the air-conditioner but they have no intention of getting it fixed, why because they don't own the building Marketplace does and Marketplace hasn't repaired one thing inside the building since well ...... almost never. They did fix the roof when the water started to drip, did I say drip, I meant pour into a $30,000 laser print and they were told they were going to get the bill for the printer. And there was the time they had to fix the ceiling when it completely separated from the building and fell three floors completely destroying the stair way to the main lobby. Fortunately for Marketplace nobody was under it when it dropped, what do you suppose they will do when the whole building collapses get out the glue.

This is just a very small example of the amount of water that is constantly leaking into BGA. This place is cold with the Air conditioning running all of the time, its damp and its moldy and musty. lets see who and what disease could be a threat under those conditions.

What is Legionnaires' disease?
Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia. It was named after an outbreak of severe pneumonia which affected a meeting of the American Legion in 1976. It is an uncommon but serious disease.

The illness occurs more frequently in men than women. It usually affects middle-aged or elderly people and it more commonly affects smokers or people with other chest problems. Legionnaires' disease is uncommon in younger people and is very uncommon under the age of 20.

About half the cases of legionnaires' disease are caught abroad. The other half are the result of infections acquired in the UK.
How do people get it?
The germ which causes legionnaires' disease is a bacterium called Legionella pneumophila. People catch legionnaires' disease by inhaling small droplets of water suspended in the air which contain the Legionella bacterium. However, most people who are exposed to Legionella do not become ill.
Legionnaires' disease does not spread from person to person.
Where does it come from?

The bacterium which causes legionnaires' disease is widespread in nature. It mainly lives in water, for example ponds, where it does not usually cause problems. Outbreaks occur from purpose-built water systems where temperatures are warm enough to encourage growth of the bacteria, eg in cooling towers, evaporative condensers and whirlpool spas (tradename Jaccuzi) and from water used for domestic purposes in buildings such as hotels.
Most community outbreaks in the UK have been linked to installations such as cooling towers or evaporative condensers which can spread droplets of water over a wide area. These are found as part of air-conditioning and industrial cooling systems.

Maybe water in a creek or the water that gets pumped out of the holding tanks at BGA after it rains. All that humidity in the warehouse. Who knows what could happen.

11-Ribena, Bermuda's stamp of approval.

2008-06-15T22:40:00.006-03:00

Hey Bermuda do you like Ribena, well guess what, at BGA all of the rats agree that Ribena is their favorite drink, all that yummy blackcurrant flavour and the vitamins, but don't drink the sugar free Ribena there's something about Ribena with artificial sweeteners that the rats wont touch and as we all know, if a diseased infested rodent wont touch the human food there really must be something wrong with it, right kids. So drink up Bermuda, Ribena has been given the stamp of approval by BGA's rodent population and its the best.

10-Lets talk about the CURE.

2008-06-15T22:34:00.008-03:00

Their are a number of very good, highly educated, highly skilled Bermudians that have worked hard to fulfill the promises made to them by the management at BGA. Ones that expected advancement after years of hearing the promises that if they obtained a better education, a higher level of achievement in their chosen field they would be rewarded. And yes they were, they were rewarded with insulting offers below anybodies expectations and an offers that they could keep their existing job or move on along with any future desires crushed with no more offers of advancement, which presented no chance and no choice but to look for employment else where. So much for a career at BGA. For a lot of Bermudians that meant moving on to hopefully better positions and better bosses. To those people who made the move, trust me, you made the right decision.If your a Bermudian and the wrong shade I wouldn't hold my breath at getting one of the key positions in management, its been tried and the failure rate is abnormally high. But feel free to apply for any of the other jobs, you will always be the right color for those. I really don't like to recommend this organization because they sometimes are just as bad as the people they fight but every once in a while CURE has a purpose and that purpose is BGA. Its time the complexion started to change a bit on the second floor of BGA. If you make real promises you should deliver. If you don't you should get the CURE and I'm talking to the CEO of BGA, Mr. John Tomlinson and the owner Mr. Wendall Brown, you two should be ashamed of the way you treats Bermudians. Believe it or not, nobodies as stupid as you think they are.

09-Promises Promises. Promise the world fix nothing,

2008-06-15T22:33:00.005-03:00

A couple of months ago when it was raining a lot, several of the women employee's slipped on the wet stairs and were hurt, some pretty badly. In every case it happened as they were about to leave the building on the steps at the front door.Management said they were going to have this fixed! Well its been a couple more months and surprise surprise they never fixed the problem and YES we haven't forgotten nothings been done.Isn't it time the employee's and the customer's of BGA stop getting hurt on the property and someone does something.Isn't it time after all the years of lip services to stop sending people to the hospital. After repeatedly stating that they would fix the problem just for once don't you wish they would stop feeding bull shit and actually fix some thing when they say they will fix it. It just goes to show you how little your safety and the safety of others means to management. As you know management will never fix anything if it means your going to have to spend money on Marketplace's building and that is the number one problem with BGA. I have personally seen woman so badly hurt from taking a fall in the warehouse that they should have been in the hospital but they keep working because they didn't want anybody in management to know for fear of retaliation. FEAR that their own employer would fire them for getting hurt because of their employers negligence. Gentlemen one of these days your going to be sued by one of your own customers or your own employee's for negligence and when that happens I hope they call on your employees as witnesses.

08-Whats in the Bags?

2008-06-15T22:25:00.006-03:00

Does anybody have a clue what these are? there all over the place in the warehouse on top of the freezer but nobody has the guts to walk up there and look. They have been up there for years. Whats in the Bag?

07-More stain mean more water leaks.

2008-06-15T14:21:00.004-03:00

More stains which means more water leaking into the ceiling area. Replace one tile it just come back. What kind of company makes their employees work under these conditions. Who did these repairs a three year old. Is that an electrical cable coming out from where the water stains are, is it live?

06-Look at how the mold craws along the wall!

2008-06-15T13:57:00.015-03:00

Click for more information

Look at how the mold craws along the wall, if this was in any home in the US or Canada they would be evacuating the people and condemning the building due to black mold. This is a killer anywhere else in the world why not here and why is nobody is doing a thing about it.

05-Every tile in the building is like this.

2008-06-15T13:54:00.005-03:00

Notice how the mold is all over the tile and is being blown out of the vent in the the air.

04-The black stuff people are breathing!!

2008-06-15T13:52:00.004-03:00

Now that black stuff is mold and it is coming out of the ventilation system and for people with asthma it can and will kill them.

03-Look at the conditions people have to work under....

2008-06-15T13:43:00.006-03:00

Just look at the mold and the stains no wonder people are getting sick. Is this from the rain or from the ventlation system, or the rats?

02-Pembroke did you know that there is a major drug distributor in your neighborhood!

2008-06-15T13:36:00.006-03:00

That's right BGA has there main pharmacy warehouse in the middle of Pemboke, and I know what your saying, you have to put it some where and your right, but do you have to leave the door wide open. Do you have to leave the trucks unattended. How easy would it be to rip this place. No alarms, No security, the employees are always propping open the doors to go for a smoke their are some very dangerous narcotics available mean while the main door is always open.
So to the residence of Bermuda let make these people welcome, walk over to Bakerylane location and walk down to where you see Rayclan and across the lane to the Redlaser computer store, keep walking until you see Signworkx and then walk up that ramp and ring that door bell and say hello from the people of Bermuda. Maybe they will invite you in for some good old BGA coffee or they might just think your another drug dealer.

01-Immigration....why does BGA get away with it?

2008-06-14T19:27:00.023-03:00

To Expatriates EVERYWHERE, please read this.

Tell me how does an computer consultant, a Mr. Pierre Doyle who according to his temporary work permit should only be working for the Phoenix Pharmacy stores end up at BGA. How did he manage to get permission to switch jobs and companies virtually over night, as far as I know the process is suppose to take 10 to 15 weeks and you have to apply for the change of position in writing. I also believe the process includes a request to reside on the island and you have to be released by your previous employer first in writing. As far as I am aware not only is Mr. Doyle working for the wrong company he's also being paid by the wrong company, by continuing to collect a pay check from the Phoenix. Now I may be wrong because have never dealt with immigration before, but maybe someone who has can tell me. "Isn't that wrong? I think that's wrong. " Maybe immigration is turning a blind eye for BGA, does that happen?

Now while we're on the same subject, why hasn't immigration done something about the Human Resources manager at BGA. There have been enough complains from the staff to immigration and labor relations about her, why is Jennifer Kearns still working a job that clearly should be done by a Bermudian.

Now from what I have been told by officers at immigration, I owe Ms. Kearns an apology, I said previously that her work permit was falsified and that the description of what she does is completely different then what her actual job is. Apparently her work permit isn't falsified. It was and she did give false information for years when she first started working for BGA, thats her job function, described on her work permit was nothing if not creative (thats a lieing for the not so polite) , well they had to do something about it so they did. According to the officers at immigration they received numerous complaints about Ms. Kearns and how she was taking up a job that a Bermudian should be doing as well as doing full time HR duties when her work permit said she was the assistant to the CEO. Well believe it or not she rewrote her work permit application and used Wendall Browns connected in the governments and that made sure that nobody can touch her. Way to go Ms. Kearns. we're never going to get you out of Bermuda our we. Who would have thought you could just change one word on you work permit to read "Assistant to the Executive" and from that point on Immigration can't touch you. Apparently Bermudians aren't smart enough to be an "Assistant to the Executive" and immigration can't touch her according to officers at Immigration Ms. Kearns can do any job at BGA as long as a member of the Executive ask her to do it, that includes the job of full time HR manager. What they couldn't tell me is how does one qualifies for such a job, as far as I know Ms. Kearns only has qualification in the area of Human Resources. So that would mean that immigration allowed an unqualified person to do any job including the Human Resources managers job which she apparently is qualified for and doing full time for BGA, the Phoenix stores and AJW construction.

Oh wait a minute AJW construction isn't a BDC2000 company, that would mean she's violating her work permit again.

Now there is a Job posting on the BGA's website for Ms. Kearns job, I'm sure that just the normal advertizing that need to be done in order for her to get her work permit renewed. I wouldn't recommend going to BGA's website and looking at it because........

WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. WARNING.

The BGA' s website has a several virus's on it. Once you click on the section

"Careers" and then "Current Career Opportunities" and pick any of the Jobs listed you will receive the Virus.

I repeat BGA's web site will automatically down load MALWARE and a TORJAN virus if you are not heavily protected. Make sure your virus scanner is up to date before looking around this website.

WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. WARNING.

I dont know what this Virus does but it took me two weeks to get rid of it. If you do get this virus contact me and I will be happy to tell you how I got rid of it.

FOR THE EMPLOYEE'S OF BDC2000 PLEASE READ THIS

When this BLOG came out everybody panicked. At the time management was so concerned about Ms. Kearns that they came to her rescue, they threw all of the companies resources at the problem in order to protect Ms. Kearns reputation from the from the big bad Blog.... the thing is it was all fake. Ms. Kearns really wasn't that upset and still to this day her reputation hasn't been touched. Don't worry Jeniffer Immigration saw the Blog, they not only can't do anything but Wendalls contact in government have made sure you will never be touched.

Example

She will never defend anybody.

Jennifer Kearns has forgotten the definition of the letters HR "Human Resources" the key word being "Human". A generation ago Human Resources was a department of the company that was dedicated to the development of employees and their well being. But that was a life time ago and the job function of HR have been redefined to be stream lined to a more heart less, sole less, gut less function where the job is now, 100% do what management requires, and never ever admit that you sold out a fellow HUMAN RESOURCES over management. At the same time make the employees believe that your on there side when your never ever on there side. The Human Resources Department only answers to one master and he gets what he wants. This department manager has no morals and her mandate is to make sure that the company does not pay under any circumstances, ever. Also you may have noticed that negotiating with the union has become a full time thing for Ms. Kearns. What you may not know is everything she says comes from John Tomlinson and he would rather fire you than give in to anything the union wants.

In recent months this point has been demonstrated by the fact that Jennifer Kearns is willing to say anything to immigration. She is wills to lie for BGA and BDC2000, and she is will to protect the CEO Mr. John Tomlinson in those lies at all costs even if it means compounding a lie on top of a lie. Ms. Kearns no longer sees the difference between the truth and a lie. Good and evil.

REMEMBER THIS

JENNIFER KEARNS IS A WONDERFUL ACTRESS, SHE WILL SAY ANYTHING, DO ANYTHING FOR THE CEO OF BGA MR. JOHN TOMLINSON.

JENNIFER KEARNS WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO SCREW OVER ANYBODY TO MAINTAIN HER LEVEL OF POWER AND THE PEOPLE SHE REPORTS TO IN THE COMPANY.

JENNIFER KEARNS DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM GIVING FALSE INFORMATION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BERMUDA OR ANYBODY ELSE. GIVING FALSE INFORMATION TO THE AUTHORITIES OR ANY LEGAL BODY HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THIS WOMEN.

IF YOU TRUST THIS WOMEN YOUR MAKING A MISTAKE.

Everybody knows that most people in HR have no moral (I completely exclude Ms. Parris at the Phoenix from that group) which means that the crying act put on by Jennifer Kearns was exactly that, a performance, an act put on to make people believe she was hurt. What about the people she has allowed to be used and destroyed by the CEO of BGA and there have been many. No, anything you see from Jennifer Kearns, is just another ability she has, its part of her job nothing more, don't believe that she is hurt in any way because she is not, you have to have feeling to be hurt. I don't believe for a second that a person who can coldly screw over people without a second thought can have a single feeling about what people think of her. Its just a skill that was required for her job when she applied for the HR managers job and has no more relevance's then a paper cut done on purpose. Yes that's right done on purpose.

Yes we forget that the woman looks like shes a nice person, buts there are givers and takers in the world, Jennifer Kearns, she's a taker of the lowest kind, a user, some one that likes to watch while others are abused by the power of management, isn't that right Ms. Kearns? You like to watch while peoples lives played with up for your bosses pleasure. He is your Boss Right. You wouldn't do anything unethical for him right?

Somehow the BGA Executive have managed to get her a dream work permit, she is the assistant to the executive, which means that she so important to the company she's been reclassified to able to do anything as long as she does it for the executive of the company. Like a hooker! As long as she puts something on the table for the executive she can do anything she want. Funny how that new work permit reads, its says she works for that executive but as far as I can see she still bends over for John Tomlinson all day, except for the work she is doing for Wendall Brown's and John Tomlinson's construction company, are you still filling in all the paper work for AJW construction and making it look they are doing their own hiring, and filling out their own work permits. I'm sure they will get you out of doing that as soon as Wendall clears it up with his connections at immigration. After all your not actually doing any of that work, your just advising right, your not really filling out the paper work your just help because the Bermudians work to slow, and their writing not as good as your, and they don't really know how to read or write or spell do they, so you just take notes for them, by filling out the forms. Your not actually hiring the people your just going through the applications before they make a choice themselves your just helping them by making a recommendation, a professional opinion for Wendall and John. Your assisting the executive, right...... Its illegal but then you don't care as long as its honest work.

After all your just helping your Boss right. He is just your boss right. Nothing more right.

Here's a tip for a nice girl like you in Bermuda, flashing your breasts in the work place, when your the only person making that fashion statement, it's not impressing the Bermudians so I'm assuming your trying to impress someone else. Put them away.

Amazing what an "organized" person with almost "criminal" intentions can get away with.

Immigration sounded a little pissed with that, actually the officers that monitor this type of abuse were very pissed off that they can't touch her. She's apparently bullet proof with this new work permit and Wendall Government contacts.

Imagine this

If the President of a company on this Island was brought in from an other country (An Ex-Pat) with a work permit this good, so good all he has to do was serve a glass of water at an executive meeting and he can never get kicked off the island, he never has to qualify for the job (because the qualification are completely made up) and immigration cant touch you, EVER. To Qualify you just have to know how to kiss ass, or have someone with some great political connections like Mr Brown change the laws just by making a phone call. You have to be able to lie, for the CEO of the company when ever he tells you.

Tell me how much money does it take to sell your sole. Whatever it is I'm sure a small town girl like Ms. Kearns won't miss it, the rewards for destroying peoples lives and at the same time mixing with the powerful must be worth it.

And for this amazing work permit that apparently immigration can't touch, and I do mean can't touch they have tried to remove Ms. Kearns. The end result is she gets to remain on the island as long as she continues to lie for the CEO of the company and of course do work that has nothing to do with BDC2000.

Congratulations you must be very proud.

In North America you would be a secretary, in Bermuda that gets you a work permit that's better than an Ex-Pat position on the island. If I was the Immigration Minister, I think I might be a little up set that BGA is doing creative hiring and getting work permits that the immigration minister doesnt know about or does he, that's could be embarrassing if somebody in Government ethics found out.

To all Canadian Citizens

Pierre Doyle and Jennifer Kearns, remember those names!

These two people are Canadian citizens, BDC2000 has been very good at training both of them, grooming them, turning them into the perfect company employee's they are today. When they leave Bermuda for other jobs, their new employers can be assured that they will be hiring someone with absolutely no morals, no conscience, dedicated to the company directives, they will lie and they will cheat for the company. The perfect employee's.

Good Luck you two in your future endeavours. Some where down the line you may find that you need your morals. I hope you find them.

Pierre Doyle

You purposely violated the Security of a computer network and you did it to further your career by installing a piece of software for the CEO of the Pheonix stores and exposed the entire company to a list of Viruses that would make anybody afraid. In the process you managed to get rid of a college that was standing in your way. You violated company policy that should have demanded immediate dismissal but instead you did it with the help of the two CEO's of BDC2000 and in the process had a college fired for protecting the company and had yourself promoted. Your a low life of the worse kind. Over the years I have met some pretty disgusting life forms but you not only did what you did but you expected people to congratulate you for doing it.

Congratulations!

I thing everybody in the world should be told what you have done so I'm going to send a complete description of the event to every security auditor, computer company, financial company and news paper on the planet if I can, when I can, as often as I can. I'm going to make sure everybody knows the name Pierre Doyle and BGA the Phoenix store and Bermuda. I want you to be famous. Because you deserve it.

It's not every company that will hire an MIS manager who has no problem violating company policy in order to further his career.
