How much will this cost us?

[FishingMOM]

Health Minister Fred Horne has axed the entire Alberta Health Services board, including chairman Stephen Lockwood, after the directors defied his wishes to shoot down executive bonuses.

On Tuesday, Horne issued an 11th hour directive to AHS to rethink the pay-at-risk, worth up to $3.2 million to 99 executives for 2012-13.

But in a snap board meeting, AHS went ahead with the bonuses, to fulfil the previously-agreed on contracts.

On Wednesday, Horne said the move led him to fire the entire 10-person board. He announced the firings today in Lethbridge.

Might be a wash. Save the $3.2 but spend that in comp and re-hiring

Hmmm ... management by shotgun!

Thanks for the heads-up MOM! It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

The way I am seeing it is it will cost us double or triple what the bonuses would be.

Re-hire with performance based pay.
Poor performance = regular pay. What the rest of us average out to makes.
Fix healthcare system, eliminate wait times, hire enough doctors, enough beds for sick = Unicorns farting rainbows will deliver your solid gold bonus cheque.
I'm guessing somewhere inbetween.

This current debacle probably cost us a couple million. Bord should have their seperation papers say "with prejudice' in the 'why were they fired' slot.
Make it tougher to wallow up to the trough again. Maybe.

I've been looking for another "retirement job". My current part-time one doesn't pay enough to buy more toys.

Well that should buy them more time and more excuses since the last report card on Health Care wasn't any better than the one previous.

Now he'll be able to blame the guys he canned and the need for further restructuiring for all of his woes.

On the up side he should be able to hire them back at a reduced rate or fill the board with cronies and yes men.

It may be the first signs that there are consequences being in pubic service and that you can't simply grab a bigger nipple on the Great Fat Sow when you feel like it.
