Comments on: David Hay’s leaving raises questions http://thebrucereport.com/2010/01/david-hay%e2%80%99s-leaving-raises-questions/ Where the economic and political heart of Atlantic Canada beats Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:02:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pat Lind http://thebrucereport.com/2010/01/david-hay%e2%80%99s-leaving-raises-questions/comment-page-1/#comment-47978 Pat Lind Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:18:53 +0000 http://thebrucereport.com/?p=728#comment-47978 It's reasonable to assume that one of Hay's criteria for leaving the NBP CEO position was related to what was best for his career, and hence his family. After a prudent period of reflection, one could assume that he recognized that the clock was ticking. In the private sector, a merger or acquisition can result in a "superfluous" chief or senior executive, who usually vacates that position forthwith. I find it in no way surprising that Hay left when he did and I have no axe to grind with respect to the NB Power deal one way or the other. Forced out? Quit in protest? How about the third option where his job disappeared and he now needs another.
