No punishment for terrasses fiasco
The fiasco of the Grand Prix terrasse closures feels like ancient history by now, but TVA reports that two fire service managers who were suspended with pay while the matter was investigated will not, in the end, be given lengthier suspensions or fired. They’re already back at work.

While this is true on the face of it, any kind of suspension does adversely affect your chances at advancement, and since this is a life career with only one available employer it’s a bigger deal than it seems. Given that they were probably following directives from their superiors it’s a pretty raw deal.
If they weren’t following directives from above, the punishment would have been worse. These are jsut a couple of fall guys.

@Ian – Every community has their own. The north shore, the south shore and all the little villages around. And with a union, I will be that advancement isn’t affected at all.

If seniority is transferable I guess? You may very well be right, I don’t enough about the inter-agency structure of the municipalities.
