Mark Pangborn Admits Responsibility
An unusual circumstance happened on September 21, 2004. Mark Pangborn or Pangbert as we like to think of him, admitted that he was responsible for the AVS fiasco. When he was asked directly by an employee who was responsible for this error in judgment and management, Pangbert raised his hand and accepted the responsibility. He said he was accountable. Wow!
I think that this was so kind of Mark Pangborn to
take the gaffe for this.
take the gaffe for this.
Pangbert got visibly angry but returned quickly to calm resolution. So calm that instructors had to ask Pangbert to speak up.
Joe Hill's advice to this brave employee is lay low, because even when they say any questions are open for discussion, they really don't mean it.
Let's face it... we do not live in the age of management responsibility. Kenny Boy Lay can steal millions of dollars from Enron and not face any consequences. Why shouldn't LTD management get a free ride if not even a rewarded ride for their blunders; everyone else does in today's business world.
It is arrogance to claim responsibility and then not think their should be a consequence for bad decisions - especially with public funds? What do you think. Here is your chance to say in our next free poll. It is as follows:
Mark Pangborn has admitted that he is responsible for the AVS bus financial fiasco to a group of LTD Employees.

Pangborn was close to losing it! If eyes could kill we would be at Dan's funeral today. Pangborn was very angry. I was there and I can tell you that Dan was a very brave guy for doing what he did. Thanks Dan! I thought that Ken Hamm was supposed to talk to us. I guess we are not really worthy of the King of LTD's valuable time.
Thanks for the kind words, Anon.
I wonder what possessed Ol’ Pang to take the blame for AVS. He’s been head honcho on BRT for the past year or more and probably had little to do with the AVS mess.
The night crew has a special class on Friday. They got word today that Pang won't be attending this session. Nor will Hamm. I hope they get someone they can sink their teeth into! I would love to be at this meeting to hear Syd, Jim, Dave and the rest of the night crew do their thing on whomever shows up to make the admin presentation.
Great union meeting Thursday morning. Here's the word -- stay strong, stay united and be patient. October 17 is the 150th day. Predictions are that there will be movement by then. Al Z. said we WILL NOT accept a contract that is less than what we have now. Also, ATU had their specialist look at LTD’s proposed health plan. Guess what -- it's been deemed DOA!
The issue of short pay came up at the union meeting. I went home and checked my statements for the year. Out of 19 checks, I found 20 mistakes in 16 of 19 statements. (Just multiply your hours by you rate of pay.) The union is going to file a grievance over the pay issue on behalf of all the members.
