So much love in the Heart of the City


Happy Valentines Day

In appreciation of Valentines Day, I want everyone to show there love for the city and I want to see how honest you are.


I hear the city puts out surveys to its employees to see how much they enjoy working for the city, or improvements that could be made etc. It is some type of attempt to try and get their employees to think the management cares and is listening to you.  Yet nothing changes. 

Your post is anonymous here unlike the city surveys that I am sure they can somehow track. There is nothing anyone can do about it on here.


I want to hear from you, if you worked for the city, are currently working now or even know someone who has worked for the city. What is the truth?

Tell me about your experience. What you didn't like or didn't like. Improvements you would suggest. Please keep to a half a page if possible.


Where the city or department you worked for is headed.


 The issue with the city surveys is that no one ever sees the actual results except the mayor or his cronies. 

Then the mayor or someone will say how everything is so great and everyone loves each other, but cannot show his proof. Or people lie on the surveys because of fear of retaliation.

I know a few cops, firefighters, and streets employees. Common theme, they cant wait to get out. Some only have 5-7 years there. They complain about management, not the job all the time.

It is no good talking about how toxic the city really is right now. City Council tried to investigate the rumblings of discrimination, nepotism, favoritism, corruption, and retaliation at the direction of the mayor and his directors. Instead of getting to the truth, the investigator discovered that it was much worse than anyone expected.
So, Daryl Hendricks, Cynthia Mota, and Candida Affa sided with the mayor and squashed the truth because each of their names was contained in the report and they feared that their truth would get out in public.

ABE. You have excerpts of the report and know this to be the truth. So, while I applaud you for trying to get the city employees to speak up, I doubt you will have much response. The mayor has made moves recently to send a clear message to all employees that they are easily replaced.

oh yeah, add cutthroat, intimidating, unethical, and fear-driven to the descriptors of working at the city.

16. Silence is safer.
17. Leadership knows what’s wrong and avoids fixing it.

Sounds like working in the Tuerk administration ?

A toxic workplace doesn’t just kill productivity; it crushes confidence and limits career growth.
