I read with interest and a bit of outrage the article in the Feb. 9 edition of The Chronicle regarding the resignation of Derrick Wojcik-Damers from Twin Transit.
I will excuse the board for trusting the Prothman Co. to do the fairly simple job of finding a qualified employee after paying them $24,000 for the task. However, I don’t understand why board members Bobby Jackson and Chad Taylor felt the need to go out of their way to praise and make excuses for Wojcik-Damers.
It appears that he wasn’t up to the task of managing the employees and operations of the organization, and he was dishonest about his past financial indiscretions to boot. For his trouble, he is publicly praised for being a swell guy, given six months pay and health care, and $5,000 to skip town as well!
So I offer this tip to those of you who have lofty career ambitions: There is going to be a lucrative position coming up at Twin Transit. The only qualifications are an audacious sense of entitlement and a good lawyer.
