Executive Turnover

     Can anybody name all of the general managers that Harrah's and Harvey's have had over their career? We don't expect to have this Regional President with us at Lake Tahoe for very long, buyout or not.  The only way to insure that any positive changes to policy are kept by future general managers is with a Contract.

     Every long-term dealer has seen numerous general managers, department heads, and shift managers. It is true that the executive turnover is higher than most employees who prioritize being a part of this community. We know and understand that this means that the local executives are wondering about their own job security and how the buyout will affect them. We cannot involve ourselves with whatever personal or professional issues they may have, as they have shown little concern for how their cutbacks impact our lives.

     We will certainly still be living at Lake Tahoe long after our general manager's replacement is named.  We will probably be working at the same casinos even if management tampers with this process by terminating us.

To Our Executives:
     We don’t mean for this to sound callous, but you have done your jobs as effectively as possible, as have we. Unfortunately, your business decisions were made with an indifference to our community in favor of gratifying Gary Loveman, the board, shareholders, and your own bonuses. Any appeal to our sense of teamwork and looking out for the greater good has only meant one thing: our sacrifice for your excessive bonuses.
