Over the past four weeks, even preceding the Budget Committee meeting at which a $37,000,000 Budget (still seems like an obscene amount of money) was recommended for approval and weeks in advance of the UJC Board meeting at which such a Budget will be routinely approved, UJC started firing us. Secretaries, some here for over 20 years, and caring and loyal professionals, gone. In his View last Friday, the CEO, Mr. Rieger, wrote of the pain of such an experience for those remaining and the pain of the entire experience.
Someone ask M. Rieger just who, specifically, he fired. Any one at all? Who did he seek out to give this most painful message to? Maybe the anguish was just too great for him to emerge from the Riegerbunker but we heard he just left the messy task to his underlings. But, his View said how difficult it was for him. In the Jewish Week Purim kuntz about Mr. Rieger, the premise was that "Mr. Revert" as they called him, fired himself. What an idea!! Buh-bye.

It's quite sad yet telling when the CEO has to send copies of "love letters" to the staff.
Since the Kommandant of the Rieger bunker won't tell us who got the ax, how about you telling us? We'll never get the details at ujc.org.
A question for the author of this post to ponder:
As you criticize Howard Rieger for exhibiting a perceived lack of compassion, I wonder if you believe that the tone and rhetoric of your blog is compassionate?
