Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – My friend Mr. Charles Sugrim (Dec 23) in his reply to me stated that GuySuCo CEO, Sase Singh should be given a chance to implement his ‘strategic plan’ for the industry. I don’t know of a strategic plan. But I was the first one to say to give him a chance to do his job as CEO.
As I read, those who felt unwanted or can’t function under the CEO quit GuySuCo. Pandit Panday, for example, wrote publicly that Sase was/is unqualified for the job and stated he could not work under his leadership. He resigned to allow the CEO to do his job. Others also quit saying they could not work under the CEO’s directives. Some were terminated or pushed out for not following directives.
Clearly, no one has blocked the CEO from implementing his plan although there continues to be complaints from current staff about the CEO’s style of management. Should these be investigated by the Board and advice given to the CEO on handling them?
Regrettably, those who left GuySuCo or were terminated have faced non-stop attacks in the media with “They were riding the gravy train”. Charles, just using Pandit Vishnu Panday for an illustration – I don’t know him but everyone I conversed with says he is a man of impeccable integrity. ‘Ow, man’, you will condone an attack on a pandit. Charles, I am told, you are/were a man of the cloth, a pastor. It will not be proper to attack you personally.
Pandit Panday is a spiritual leader. He is compassionate and caring for the poor. He is held in high esteem nationally. He wants GuySuCo to succeed. He does not imbibe or socialise. He is a vegetarian. Does he look like someone who rode the gravy train? As for the others who were attacked, there were no specifics given on ‘their riding the gravy train’. The defenders of the CEO should step back and allow him to perform and stop attacking former and current staff. Sase is a very good writer. He can defend himself against constructive critiques.
Yours truly,
Vishnu Bisram
