Today I went to city hall around 1pm and to my surprise it was shutdown for what I later found out was employee appreciation day. While I am absolutely supportive of any opportunity for employees to get away from their horrible managers I have to feel bad for them at the same time because they are forced to eat and play games with people like the mayor, Finance Director, CED Director, Police and Fire chiefs, PW Director, etc. The cost comes to mind as well —we are facing difficult financial times ahead for the taxpayers and the city is throwing a party for themselves?
This romper room event was organized by the mayor’s staff and includes games and prizes like "Movies and Lounging by AFD" "Guess the Parking Lot APD is sitting in" and the Bina Patel-sponsored “Plinko” where employees try to land their token on the 2026 tax increase since Bina has no clue.
I wonder if Ms. Boyer up in H.R had any involvement in the event? …wait, no! My sources tell me that she is never at work and is known for collecting a check while offering nothing to the city and just thinking she is better than everyone else. Why would we expect any higher standard from mayor PeeWee?
This is just another example of how the priorities of this administration are misaligned. I am sure the employees would have preferred to just have an early day like most companies and municipalities do the day before the long Labor Day weekend. Not Allentown, they force the employees to attend a party honoring the mayor.

Hahaha. These are the best memes yet. Matt's not looking. Run!!!! Dead. So true. Abe sorry you couldn't be helped at city hall today. Hopefully I can help you when you come in.
If you live in the city, you already know this, but a surprising amount of work gets done by contractors each weekend after 3 or 4 pm on Friday’s.
Why, because those property owners who are converting single-family dwellings to something else or those who don’t want to pay for permits know when nobody’s going to be at City Hall to come out and catch them. It’s even worse over a three-day holiday weekend.
So it was very kind of the mayor to give city employees another half day off before the three day weekend, so that those scofflaws could have even more time to destroy the city’s neighborhoods.
Once again, the Mayor who seems to be everywhere knows nothing about what really goes on in his city. Or maybe he does and just doesn’t care.
You nailed it! Daryl showing up at the wrong event in an Elvis costume?
Were is mayor Matt and his boy dr battShit craZy at this festive event before the three day holiday? I know they were probably collaborating with jennings Inc on there nue farce of the grant grab get to give to cover for there real-estate scams!
Who is the Netflix “Wednesday” reject in the second picture with the pale skin? Scary.
Council President Hendricks is always ready for a photo shoot.
In some local governments, the employees will tell you that they get a show of appreciation every other Friday. They would never, ever close down for this kind of event. When you hire good employees, pay them right and treat them well, these types of silly diversions are not needed.
Furthermore any such event should not be paid for by taxpayers.
I'll tell you who really destroys an neighborhood.... the clowns that the city sends out to do "work"... most people wouldn't want them working on their doghouse!!!
