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 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.

20. Leadership reminds you your employment is conditional and a favor.
Sounds like working in the Tuerk administration ?
A toxic workplace doesn’t just kill productivity; it crushes confidence and limits career growth.
I think this winter showed how bad city management is in dealing with just 12” of snow , we are still 3 weeks later having trouble getting around !!
ABE the blue juice swirls is there drinkable tonic water enjoyed by too many than I'd care existed locally.
A city run by a clown can only produce circus results.
the recurring theme in city hall is gaslighting. it’s demoralizing.
Interesting the parallels between employees of city government and the ASD. Fear, frustration, low moral, incompetence promoted, lousy results, ...
Just catching up with the blog after the weekend. What is this nonsense that the mayor has agreed to a DROP pension for the police department? Has Mayor Tuerk lost his mind? Aren’t they in a negotiation year? If the cops want it so bad, have them negotiate for it! This is like buying your kids Christmas presents the week before Christmas. You know that the police union is going to ask for raises as well. So a month after the mayor drops a tax increase on us, he then agrees to give the police a very lucrative drop pension, FOR FREE, then start negotiating a contract? Make it make sense Mayor Tuerk. Also, once the police get it, obviously fire and SEIU will go after one as well.
Someone said it above - the city is run by a clown 🤡. He has failed at every job he’s had so he pivoted to government service where his failures are quickly forgotten. “Who cares? it is tax money “ seems to be his charge. He can fail over and over and as long as he continues to make sure the democratic leadership in PA and the Lehigh Valley are “happy” via city contracts and grants, they will ensure his position is safe.
Unfortunately Matt Tuerk is the next in line in a group of incompetent individuals to lead Allentown and he was voted in for another four years. I would be lying if I said I was optimistic about the future.
All of these describe City Hall. Especially 16. Retaliation is reality
I for one don't know a single person that voted for this clown even from his own party. 2020 federal level cheated and most America has got nothing on the local yocals not even mentioning PA the most corrupt state in the union. What happens here stays here!
Well....that's 12,118 voters living in Allentown that you'll need to become acquainted with
