The story made international headlines, reported by major news organizations like the BBC and CNN. It was the butt of jokes on U.S. late-night television talk shows. The scandal became an embarrassment not only to the Liberal party, but to Canada itself.
Once again, from the New York Times to the U.K. Guardian, the international press chortled about this second incident, in what surely competes with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s India escapade as a new low for the reputation abroad of Canadian politicians.Article content Amos’ faux pas are a stark reminder that the line between the office and the home is more blurred than ever. But that does not excuse any lack of vigilance or professionalism when working remotely. The Conservative party rightly castigated Amos as “reckless.” That is surely an understatement and, of course, there may be mental health issues involved.
On the other hand, Members of Parliament are held to a higher standard — an obvious analogy is to executives in any organization. If damage to the employer’s reputation and bottom line is significant, a single embarrassing video gaffe could conceivably constitute cause of discharge. This becomes increasingly possible as telecommuting becomes the norm and employees more accustomed to minding their cameras and mics.
Hmmm. Interesting choice of person to illustrate this issue. Someone with possible mental health issues. Surely there were other choices than this trashy one. But hey, laziness rules. Plus it's older than Betty White.
