The manager of DDM needs to go. She only seems interested in hiring non Virginislanders. She should be trying to get locals trained for the jobs. That shows where her interest lies. Someone in authority must look into that. We cannot leave our people behind when it comes to making a living in their own country.
Me r@$$ she came here less than five years worked for The BVI Beacon a suspicious news paper now in with government. This is just so wrong!!!
Sha.... seems to feel that she is a law unto herself. She has been in that position too long. She does a lousy job then gets al sorts of accolades. Who does she think she is!
