Gilliland Double Dip?

Gilliland we be making over $250,000 a year in retirement and pay during her double dip.

It makes one wonder how many other "CREATIVE ACCOUNTING" tactics that Judy G. has been involved with since her arrival in January 2008?

Perhaps 29, but very real to Perplexed. Question for you 29. If the same thing happened to you that happened to Perplexed, would you feel the same way? If it didn't happen to you, it is easy to criticize people who were wronged in the workplace and have a difficult time letting it go. My wife and I, along with hundreds more, were caught in the 1994 downsizing at P&G. P&G reported to the public that it was to "Strengthen Global Effectiveness" or SGE but in essence, it was to purge the company of people who had 10-20 years in, were pulling a decent salary, and costing the company money toward retirement costs through the acquisition of P&G stock. They do the "purge older employees and hire young new ones" program about every 10 years so they are not plowing alot of money into retirement costs. If you notice, P&G announces a "realignment" about every ten years or so.

My wife and I held bitter resentment toward P&G for years. Even today, we refuse to buy their products. We could both tell you some internal stories, not publicized by P&G, that would surprise you about the "squeeky clean company" they would have you believe they are. Not true to those who have worked there and know the internal games played. The book "Soap Opera" tells alot about the internal mechanisms of the company.

Perhaps Perplexed will someday just "let it go" for the sake of their health and emotional wellbeing. Our hatred over the years has diminished to the point that it is not foremost in our minds any longer. Hopefully, Perplexed will reach that point. We have found that "letting it go" eases the mind and, the truth is, as much as you want them to pay, you can't fight it. Too large, too much money and too powerful. So, you move on, chalking it up to another one of life's little injustices. In the end, it won't matter anyway.

Consider what they did to Perplexed. Consider how you would have responded, then consider why the anger, hurt and loathing may still be present. The bosses doing the damage are never the ones that understand the ramifications......and really don't care. The axeman has no conscience, morals, feelings or class. The axeman should pay, but never will. JMO

HUD Section 8 Investigation

It's anyone's guess as to what Judy G. will do.  It was only four plus years ago that his salary was about 55% of what it is now.  I guess that it pays to play Judy's game?

I wonder what the cost of consultants, lawyers and staff time would be for the S8 fiasco?  As the Doogmeister once said at a city council meeting, "Give Me The Power And I Will Get Things Done!"  We are eagerly awaiting the verdict.

Once again, there's been so many lost opportunities to revamp neighborhoods and rejuvenate the local economy over the past 4.5 years.  Judy G. and Doug A. have so much to do with this predicament.  Oooops, I forgot to add Marty K. to the equation.  However, Middletown does have so much more green space now.

Gilliland is setting up Dougie for the fall.

seems like we are all being set up for the fall
