There are just too many m

Enbridge Inc. - There are just too many managers here and we need to thin the herd.

God help you when you hire someone new and have to deal with the ...... (more)

As an “oldie”, I do agree the company hasn't figured out how to leverage their talent properly. But I have to add, that this is nothing new.

Problem: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities face challenges in air travel.
Solution: "Wings for All" program provides a safe, practice travel experience.
picture
The annual Wings for All program at Syracuse Hancock International Airport offers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities an opportunity to experience air travel in a stress-free environment. Run in collaboration with SSRA, Arc of Onondaga, and United Airlines, the program allows participants and their families to navigate the complete airport experience—checking in, passing through security, boarding, and enjoying snack service on a mock flight. By simulating the travel day without the pressures of an actual trip, Wings for All helps families assess their readiness for future flights and gives travelers with disabilities a chance to acclimate to the busy airport environment.

In this year's event, 22 participants and their familie...(more)
