Employees of an energy agency that figured prominently in news in the past weeks are quietly agonizing over the current leadership’s “tactics” of allegedly pushing some of the agency’s brightest minds to the edge and to the point of resignation, all for being associated with the previous leadership.
As it is, a good number of these experts, including a valuable team from this agency, already left in 2012. This year, the agency’s head had reportedly summoned three of his “vice presidents” for a talk, according to an insider. Point blank, the vice presidents were allegedly asked to resign as the head could no longer work with them on various counts. But since these officials are protected by a security of tenure, some chose to remain in their posts.
The agency head, however, is not making it easy for them. The projects under these VPs are no longer being made a priority and they are sometimes being left out of board meetings. At times, they are excluded from critical meetings as well.
The insider even branded the leadership as “vindictive” for working on the points of accusations and associations, rather than the merits of their hard work.
No wonder, the insider alleged, the mandate of this agency remained unfulfilled as not one of the activities it had planned since the Aquino administration took over had pushed through, while the energy-related debts it has been managing continued to balloon—huge liabilities that us consumers will eventually shoulder in the future.—Amy R.
