That all went down the tubes when she brazenly created a new deputy chief position and promoted a long time (but worthless) friend into the position for the sole purpose of spiking her pension. This department got along fine with three chief deputies for years. All of a sudden, the department now needed a fourth chief? One chief's sole duties is the administration of juvenile hall. There are 2 directors and 7 assistant directors. Why? 10 years ago, the population was higher than it is now and the hall ran fine with 4 assistant directors.

The chief has lied to her people from the beginning. Claiming that they are reducing management by 10.2%, she forgets to tell you that, in the past 10 years, she and her predecessors increased management by 21% while staff has only increased by 6.5% or so and the supervised population has not increased at all. She lied about how management is not taking their raise this year. They agreed to defer it. I can guarantee you that they will all take their raise eventually and they will be paid from the day it was first agreed upon, meaning they will not give up anything. The chief will be laughing all the way to the bank with her $4500 OPB and her $765 a month that pays for her Corvette along with the paid for retirement that her employees she is so thankful for have to pay on their own. The managers walk around juvenile hall laughing their heads off at the staff because they know the truth.

What about it chief? Fire that lazy slob you promoted so that she could get on the gravy train. You still have time to regain some of your lost credibility. Maybe you could at least tell your employees what could possibly be more important than sitting down across from the table and telling the people who truly represent your employees and who really have their best interests at heart why you don't have the guts to face them? Could it be because you don't care?
