Unveiling the Aftermath: Angélique Parisot-Potter's Impact on Massy Group - Saga Unraveled Part 4


It's been approximately three weeks since Angélique Parisot-Potter, the former executive vice president of business integrity and group general counsel at Massy, sent shockwaves through the business community by resigning and making explosive allegations against the company's executive leadership program. In the aftermath of her departure, significant developments have unfolded, shedding light on the intricacies of the conglomerate's internal dynamics.

The Fallout

Parisot-Potter's departure triggered a series of reactions within Massy, prompting the conglomerate to label her claims as absurd and launch an independent investigation. The resignation of a high-ranking executive, especially one responsible for creating Massy's whistleblower policy, raised eyebrows and warranted a thorough examination of the allegations.

Investigating Claims

Massy responded by appointing an "independent external counsel" to investigate Parisot-Potter's claims. The conglomerate took the additional step of halting the executive leadership program, signaling a willingness to address concerns raised by the former executive. While Massy vehemently dismissed her claims as untrue, the decision to conduct an investigation indicated a recognition of the seriousness of the allegations.

Program Halting

The executive leadership program, facilitated by Delphi Sphere Consulting and at the center of the controversy, was abruptly halted. This move aimed to address the concerns raised by Parisot-Potter, who emphasized the disproportionate influence the program's leaders had over Massy's executive team. The decision to suspend the program underscores the significance of governance and fiduciary issues within the conglomerate.

Parisot-Potter's Perspective

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Guardian, Parisot-Potter provided deeper insights into her objections to the program. Her concerns extended beyond Delphi, focusing on what she considered a flawed system of governance and fiduciary oversight. Her principled resignation emphasized her commitment to upholding ethical standards, even at the cost of personal and professional sacrifices.

Stakeholder Reactions

As Massy undergoes this internal scrutiny, stakeholders eagerly await the outcome of the investigation. Parisot-Potter's call for transparency in the process highlights the importance of addressing governance issues seriously. The fallout from her revelations has become a pivotal moment for Massy, prompting a reassessment of internal practices and a commitment to ethical governance.

Looking Ahead

As the investigation progresses, the business community watches closely to see how Massy responds to the challenges posed by this unraveling saga. The aftermath of Parisot-Potter's revelations serves as a wake-up call for companies to prioritize transparent governance, ethical practices, and fiduciary responsibility. The coming weeks will undoubtedly bring more clarity to the situation and determine the path forward for Massy in the wake of this unprecedented event.

Employee Goes Berserk and Explodes at the Rubis Coverley Service Station Pump in Barbados: Was This a Preventable Workplace Breakdown?

A Workplace Commentary on the Rubis Coverley Incident By  Peter MacD Earle BSc, LLM, Employment Law Consultant On Friday, May 17, 2025, Barbadians awoke to disturbing news involving the aftermath of a workplace conflict that escalated dramatically. Daniel Arnold Vincent Belle, 38, a former employee of the Rubis Coverley gas station in Christ Church, appeared in the District “B” Magistrates’ Court and admitted to causing extensive damage to the station—an estimated $7,000 worth—just days after his dismissal from the company. The incident involved the smashing of a glass door, breaking two windows, damaging a display unit, and tearing off seven fuel pump nozzles. Surveillance footage led to Belle’s arrest in Oistins. While this act of destruction was clearly criminal, the context in which it occurred raises serious concerns about workplace conflict, employer responsibilities, and the role of mental health in employment relations. . Let me be clear from the outset: I do not have any a...

Barbados' Minimum Wage Time Bomb: Are Businesses Being Set Up to Fail?

Image
   Peter MacD Earle BSc, LLM Employment Law Leicester De Montfort Law School Effective June 1, 2025, Barbados will implement a new minimum wage of $420 per week, a 23.5% increase from the current $340. In addition, legislation proposes an automatic 2% annual wage increase starting in January 2026. But beneath this progressive façade lies a stark, structural truth: Barbados has neither the machinery to enforce the law nor the political will to protect the most vulnerable. While this policy signals social justice on paper, in practice it could collapse under its own contradictions—and set workers, employers, and the economy up for failure. ________________________________________ The Illusion of Legal Protection While the government trumpets the wage hike as a win for working-class families, Barbados remains woefully unequipped to enforce the new standard. Consider: • Thousands of workers never received the current $340 minimum wage. • Many will not receive the new $420 rate...
