The poor structure can be seen in many other departments and statutory bodies as well. No grooming or succession planning at all.
Of notice means that her last day is 30 June 2021! That still too long ...
She taught me the value of proper work ethics, professionalism and integrity.
I learnt to be a leader not a follower. I learnt that life dont owe you anything, I learnt that the persons who enable you are not necessarily the ones who have your best interest at heart. And most importantly I learnt that my destiny was in my hands and that whatever I wanted from life was up to me to achieve.
I salute you Mrs Skelton for your years of contribution to the Territory. Your unwavering zeal for excellence and all other lives you have touched in the process.
I credit you to a large extent for all I have achieved and the person I am today. THANK YOU!
May the work you done speak for you.
Jackie dearest

Do you all expect to get what you did not put in or what you are not required to get by law, regardless of where you are from.
Some of you bloggers might be those so called employers who are not paying Into the scheme the money you deducted from your employees pay cheque and should be in prison.
Miss Skelton please do one thing before you leave. I know that there are laws on the book but Recommend stricter penalties for those thieving employers and ways for the employees to be reimbursed.
There are so much pretenders in this place. That's why I don't want any body in the BVI to come and profess anything about Christianity to me. I say that because too many do not practice what they preach and encourage too much dam wrong and hide behind these blog's. Too much.
Too much haters in this place man. My God.
