Parish Employee Survey, Comment 3
More lack of fairness, poor morale, employees being abused by supervisors, and poor communications. "Some things are top secret. I thought we are a public entity?" Yes, Parish government is a public entity and is supposed to be transparent. Nothing should be top secret, unless one has SOMETHING TO HIDE. Sounds familiar?
"1. Wage increase. We are told that at the end of the year there may be lay offs. Isn't our salary in the budget? Then why wasn't an increase put in for raises. The cost of living is rising, but no increase for us (most of us). New employees hired in this administration were hired making as much, if not more than existing employees. Is this fair? It's hard for a person to have to train a new employee knowing they are making more than you when you've been here for years and do your job with your best ability.
2. Moral! WHAT MORAL!!! That has been destroyed. How about this for being praised? Being told that we can't be fired but that we can be made miserable, and doing so. Then weeks later being told if you get up in the morning and don't feel like coming to work, it's time to look for another job. Or being told, if your thinking about butting heads with me, think again, cause you're not going to win. Or giving your all to someone you know if given a chance would fire you. Instead, they try to find a mistake we may have made, then told no matter how much you do, it's not enough. Even Memo's could be sent in a more civilized way, instead of, if you don't do this or that you will be reprimanded or terminated. We are civilized people who can understand command rather than somewhat of a threat.
3. Communication! We have meetings all the time, but no one really knows what's going on. If someone makes a decision or takes care of a project or something like that, no one is notified, if someone calls about a project that a co-worker is working on and he/she is on days off, the caller has to wait for the employee to return. Some things are top secret. I thought we are a public entity?"

Bring back "Buzz" Breaux!
HEY CARL A.H. CHAUVIN: If SECRECY causes SUSPICION,.......... does GUILT cause CONCEALMENT???????
Buzz knew how to treat the employees. He was a working man, he was a good man. He made some mistakes, but he wasn't trying to pretend he was someone he wasn't. He was honest. Unfortunately, he probably won't run for office again, I think he got burnt out.
