ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

[tirolski]

Just unbelievable.
Transue should have been fired for cause. I wounder if we will ever find out if he was fired for cause or was he just allowed to 'retire'. The other people involved - Lisa Morgan and Darrin Morgan (related?) should also be fired as should the so called, (unnamed) human relations employee accompanying Transue on an interview and telling the internal job candidate that they should resign from the union (which they did) in order to get a promotion. The interviewee did not get the job.

It is beyond shocking that this happened. This is exactly why we still need unions. It also goes to show how little supervision there is at Belleayre from Lake Placid as Transue got promoted after he was trying to stomp out the union at Belleayre. It does not take much brainpower to know that taping any private meeting without the people in the meeting knowing about the taping is wrong. A manager surreptitiously taping a closed union meeting is a whole new level of stupid. President Luge should resign or be fired as she promoted Transue.

The ORDA Clownshow continues to break new ground on a regular basis.

"Allegedly" allegedly means something.
Could be just folks stirring the soup. Who knows?

@Brownski little by little. Keep after it, and you'll get that clout.

The CEO of epic/vail is soft drink exec.

Yup and look at the shit show at VA resorts and the HR Depts!

Just unbelievable.

Right?
Just when you think you've seen everything from ORDA something else happens.
When, in gawds name, will these people be held accountable.

ORDA announced that Bruce Transue was promoted to vice president of Alpine venues operations Nov 26, 2024. He had been with ORDA since 2018. Only 5 months after his promotion to VP running the 3 ORDA ski areas he allegedly retired?

ORDA reorganizes top leadership

LAKE PLACID — Three top positions at the state Olympic Regional Development Authority have been “restructured” into vice president positions, effective immediately. These roles reflect an effort to compartmentalize related responsibilities and pursue renewed priorities as ORDA President Ashley...

This is a huge problem for ORDA and ORDA President Ashley Walden since Walden knows less about ski areas than many members of the NYSB.

The article reads more like a press release than an actual story. I can't speak to Bruce Transue and his retirement. FWIW, I'm acquainted with Rebecca Dayton, she's been at Mt van Ho for a couple decades at least. She's good people.

Yup.
He coulda just said, "no mas” with 65 years on the planet.

He knows snow making/snow ops.
Asheley knew how to ride a sled.

The "powers that be" would say... hopefully never; as they sing to the sheer beauty behind the concept of an "authority" in NYS. There is no accountability within the concept of an "authority"...

It seems like Bruce Transue is being held accountable now. Unfortunately, he seemed to be the only person at ORDA who knew how to make snow. I was optimistic about Gore next season, but now...who knows?
