Senkevych threatened to fire the directors of Mykolaiv municipal enterprises

The performance of municipal enterprises in Mykolaiv during the autumn-winter period will be grounds for evaluating their directors. At a staff meeting on Monday, November 9, Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych warned the heads that they could be dismissed.

The mayor linked the demand for good performance to his reputation and reminded them of the terms of their employment contracts:

“Everyone’s contracts run until the end of winter, and then the situation will become serious. I don’t care about approval—citizens will always be dissatisfied, but the reasons for their dissatisfaction may be objective or subjective. Just do your jobs well; my reputation depends on your work,” said Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych.

He also addressed pay: the directors of municipal enterprises earn more than the mayor. Senkevych assured them that he was not at all envious.

“We’re all on good terms, but if we can’t reach an understanding on work matters, we’ll have to love one another from a distance,” Senkevych concluded.
