I’m very much what you see is what you get. I feel the need to forewarn bosses that I will always be honest with them, and occasionally more honest than I should be for self-preservation. I’m respectful about it and always do it for the right reasons, but there you have it.

I can’t abide phonies, laughable mission and vision statements, people who try too hard to look smart and credit union “volunteers” that aren’t.

I’ve written several times in favor of paying credit union board members. I believe it could help recruit board members, as well as provide the proverbial stick and carrot for some who need it so credit unions can justify removing underperforming board members.
