GMIA,
Have you not learned how Bristow operates?
Now they can look you in the eye and brag how they have an outsider review the situation and upon receipt of the report at some unspecified point in the future.....will then be able to do what is right by the hired help.
Can you say "delay or stall"?
But then that begs the question....why have a HR department with assorted drones only to pay outside consultants to do the work of the HR department?
Perhaps if they fired the HR department and hire one clerk typist to fill out the forms and let the CE and CP (in Bristow's structure...Engineering Manager and Flying Superintendent) do the hiring things would be a bit better.
Knowing Bristow....The Majah and PeeWee comedy team would move up and share that office thus as usual Bristow would find the exact best way to make a bad situation worse.
Perhaps they should bring in Tyreburst to rescue the situation as he has world renown management abilities specializing in HR issues.
