It’s unfortunate the UNH’s organization is struggling and
forced to downsize staff and operations, sell the head office building in
effort to pay off a very large debt while carrying on the facade everything is
fine and dandy. Today I had lunch with a
friend of many years, he’s the VP of a well-established catalog mail order retail business in
Canada and the USA, during our lunch conversation I asked how could a non-
profit organization (UNH’s) fall into a 1 million dollar debt! He briefly explained business mismanagement
and possible corruption and someone dipped into the cookie jar. (As Tony gives UNH’s the evil eye.)
The past few days have been interesting around here. UNH’s head office is moving to the KMHC
building. New office furniture cubicles were delivered and set up in a small area
of the KMHC building what use to be the warehouse. The KMHC building maintenance has gone to shit
and I seriously mean it. Due to the unseasonable weather there is visible dog
shit all over the front lawn area and nobody seems to notice or care to clean it
up. One unit has a large hole up on the
ceiling covered with plastic. It’s been
two years since the maintenance dept. did any unit inspections. When a tenant asks what’s going on with
UNH’s they usually get the response from the HOW or HSC “Oh I can’t say” or
it’s none of your concern”. Building
security during the day. Jeezus! You can forget that, I’ve seen unescorted contractors
walking the halls and one guy asked me where the washroom is, the
staff washroom is always locked and the office was closed. Go fig!
UNH’s is turning into a sloppy organization.
Yesterday there was a general tenant notice delivered to our
doors. Bedbugs have seen sighted in the
laundry room dryers, were they alive or dead when found? There is no explanation. I was totally surprised when I read the
letter. I made a wise decision years ago
not to use the KMHC laundry facilities I go to the local laundromat down the
street. These days I check my unit/apt weekly for
bedbugs....all clear. I’m aware bedbug
infestations is a urban city problem but I’m so sick and tired with the bedbug
infestations in the KMHC building so I sent a fax to the UNH’s Director
complete with my suggestions. General notices
and letters to tenants are not enough. A
general meeting between tenants and management is needed. UNH’s reputation is in the dog house, financial supporters like United Way, City of Hamilton,
local funding and donators will slowly back away. At the moment the two most unlikable aboriginals
in town is the current UNH’s Director and her mommy HCS Ingrid. When loyal long time UNH’s employees are fired
without notice and the old HSC Ingrid is still "fartin around"/employed I would say nepotism is in effect.
Oh and one more thing to add and I find this amusing. The day they set up the office furniture HOW
Lynda aka elephant girl had to sit at a corner desk near the office doorway,
when she saw me coming down the hallway she got up and slammed the office door
shut. Her actions made me laugh I
suppose that’s her way of being bitchy.
:D
Until next time.
