despite allegations of impropriety and dysfuncion at the Alberta Securities Commission, you have to give them credit for acting quickly to investigate.
The problem is that they acted quickly to launch an investigation into catching the scared employees who actually risked their careers to speak out about management........................when they were supposed to launch the investigation into the improprieties. Oooops! Sorry guys.
Instead of hiring KPMG to do a complete check of who was saying what over the e-mail system, they should have used the time, energy and resources to reassure the public that they were looking into the allegations of impropriety.
Where do they get managers like this? At the school of sociopathic corporate climbing? To immediately initiate an internal witch hunt (sorry, but that is the appearance in the eyes of this observer) to feret out the bastards who dared to tell the truth as they see it, is so typical of bad management with something to hide.
What employees did is called blowing the whistle, and it is well documented in social studies and human behavior studies. Others call it telling the truth in the public interest. The reaction is all to often the same and the ASC does not dissapoint in this regard. They take well rehearsed and well documented steps to threaten, intimidate, scare, and otherwise bully and retaliate against those who dare speak out against them.
How sad.
How typical.
