Tell me who got fired at the HLH in the past 12 month? Because, it would be news to me!
WiseAsh, I say this with all due respect. I've had the pleasure of meeting you and those fantastic cigars you have there. I realize that it would not be prudent to overstep whatever has been told to you by HLH management and/or staff. However, you've said repeatedly that Boyd was NOT fired. He in fact is on a leave of absence. Very well. The problem is that when a person goes on an extended leave of absence it's customary for that job to remain open to him(in this case Boyd) if management or the organization in general chooses to keep him on AND the employee wishes to continue to work for the organization. It has come to everyone's intention that Boyd will NOT be returning to HLH for the foreseeable future. This can only be explained in the following ways;
Either he:
a) was suspended pending review/investigation of negative job performance/duties
b) quit on his own accord(voluntary)
c) was terminated(usually this is for cause) -more on that in a moment
d) placed on a temporary leave of absence(sick family member or himself) with the expectation of his return within a given time frame
There are no other ways I can think of where an employee is there one moment and then is no longer at his post with the exception of death or catastrophic circumstance. Boyd's absence is one or more of the 4 points indicated above. There are no other exceptions that I'm aware of.
Now, since it's presumed that Boyd won't be coming back and his actions as a manager have been called into question from several sources in the know, is it safe to assume that he was terminated for cause? The other honorable mention is Boyd was both manager and public relations for HLH. His "cult of personality" was well established as well as his extroverted demeanor. Based upon his charisma alone, it stands to reason that Mr. Boyd would not willingly give up his post without explanation to the "family" of CRT in Costa Rica and throughout the world. Witness his rather vigorous defense in the Dunn Inn fiasco either via himself or through CRT surrogates. Clearly history tells us that Mr. Boyd would not let an injustice stand if he felt that he was wrong or slighted in any way by a person or persons who would call his character into question. To date, there's been no response from Mr. Boyd on this forum defending himself from those who have made libelous charges of his behavior during his tenure at HLH. This leads many to come the unfortunate conclusion that he was in fact, fired.
A possible reason for the lack of response may be due to the restrictions placed on Mr. Boyd as a condition of his leave of absence/termination/quitting. He maybe verboten to respond upon threat of legal/physical/emotional harm. In which case he will never speak on these matters.
Let's say I just struck a nerve. What I don't understand is this is such an easy fix. Companies and organizations do this stuff all the time. You simply state the following:
"We at HLH would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the services of Mr. Boyd. Mr. Boyd has been with HLH for (xx time period). His presence has meant so much not only to our guests and staff but to the CRT community as well. Unfortunately, Mr. Boyd will no longer be with us at HLH. With that we have placed Greg at the helm and fully anticipate providing you with the continued excellence in service that you've come to expect. Please extend a warm welcome to Greg and the HLH family upon your next stay. We look forward to serving you, our guest, now and for many years to come."Please take this advice to HLH management, Wise. This is simple public relations and it puts a stop to the rumor mill and nonsense. In time, Boyd will become a distant memory and he and HLH can go on with your respective lives.
