With the pending arrival of newly hired San Bernardino County Administrative Officer Greg Devereaux, we are pondering some points:
- Will Assistant County Administrative Officer Dean Arabatzis now be required to work 40 hours a week at the County Government Center? Five days a week, every week?
- Will the Fifth Floor continue to be a ghost town on both sides of the isle on Fridays?
- Will CAO Devereaux also work five days a week?
- Will County Counsel Ruth Stringer and her deputy county counsels be allowed to continue to accrue millions in leave balances?
- What will replace our beloved “Service First”?
- Will Chicken Man show up to board meetings in a chicken suit?
- Will Board of Supervisors staff follow Devereaux’s lead and start working five days a week, 40 hours a week?
- Will department heads caught lying and cheating have consequences similar to line staff?
- Will David Wert be required to work 40 hours a week, five days a week, every week?
- Will department heads who go on vacation be required to green-slip their time?
- Will non-elected department heads be allowed to continue bonking their line staff?
- Will anything be done about sexual harassment and racial discrimination in the work place?
- Will anything of significance ever get accomplished by the Fifth Floor in a timely manner?
Will Lamberto be stopped from all his skirt chasing? That is why no sexual harassment complaint is taken seriously in SBCO. The HR director is twiddling subordinates.
Will the upper managers who prattle on endlessly about “county family”, “teamwork”, and “We’re all in this together” put their money where their mouths are, and give the rest of the employees their raises?
Will the Public Defender be replaced?
Will the projects that have millions set aside to fund be but on the back burner so that the employees will get their raises?
are the layoff talks true?
Will there ever be an explination as to why Mark “tiny man syndrome” Uffer got a raise and Devereaux received a sizable raise above what Mark was paid while us, the real workers, received a great big blow of sunshine up our a$$?
Funny how it will be us in the end again who are asked to “take one for the team”. I say put up or shut up to Devereaux or any of the other so called Management in our county until they are willing to ake cuts. How about it?
This time around, when the unimportnat employee is asked to forgo their raises, I hope they stand strong and say NO. It is time for those who run San Bernardino County to start playing fair. If one person receives a raise then all should. If one person is asked to “Give a little” then all should. It is time for those who are at the top to give up the same percentages that their employees have. It is the “little gut” that keeps saving the County’s butt. It is time for upper level management to take one for the team. Seems they need to keep upping the ante, at the top, so they can recruit top notch people. Like that has worked. We keep getting crap, they get more and we get less. It is time that the County start uping the ante for the lower ranking employees. After all would you not want top notch, happy loyal employees running the County?
Will you keep posting every rumor you can find related to the county, add your own delighful spin and and then when something remotely hinted at in one of your posts turns out to have one speck of fact, claim that you had the complete inside info the whole time?
Will you continue to attack anyone who ever crossed your path with the zeal of a martyr?
Will the politicians continue to try to add their spin to your cycle? (or is it vice versa?)
Ah what the heck, it makes for interesting reading and gives you something to do.
Will county employees continue to lie and destroy documents for their bosses?
Will county employees be held accountable for illegal and immoral actions?
Will the FBI investigate the Recorder, SBSC, Tax-Collector, County Counsel and PIU?
