can't put a band-aid on an amputation OR how fast is the Santa Ana DLSE Wage Claim office falling?

Fish stink from the head, or so the Japanese saying goes. It was bad enough (at Wage Claims) when the bosses took DLC Mary Tokar out of rotation, and then DLC Chopra unexpectedly passed. The DLSE's band-aid approach was to remove DLC Sal Trujillo from the Retaliation Unit and to transfer DLC Chopra's cases to him. Mr. Trujillo will not be assuming DLC Chopra's case load, as he is leaving DLSE and gave notice to supervisor Jorge Gomez on 09/28/07. So what do the management clowns do now?
Your guess is as good as mine. We have a United States president, dedicated to killing soldiers in the name of democracy but really for oil. The taxpayers are footing the bill at the current rate of +/-$12 billion per month for soldiers to come back injured or dead, yet we cannot have a normal healthcare or educational system in the (supposed) greatest nation in the world. The War on Terror is just as effective as our War on Drugs. Cost plus contracting is the name of this game, and you can catch it all right here: Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (click this bluelink to jump to website).
I see a lot of connection between this Bush administration and our very own GAS puppets. Jones, Bradshaw, Rea, Baker, Culbeaux & Rupp: even Bradstreet claims to be a Democrat but with rich people, there's only one green priority: you either have it or you don't. People who have a lot of green don't want to lose it and generally want to keep it. In my book, Bradstreet might as well be a Republican: she was appointed by one, she seems to jam employees they way owners do, and she's faithfully represented management in the private sector.
These GAS morons will not do the right thing and make things better in the Santa Ana office; they will only make it worse. This is why Labor Commissioner Bradstreet sent us that dipshit rah-rah, hang-in-there cheerleading memo about CMS. Whatever solution they devise for DLC Chopra's caseload, you can bet the solution will be just as genius as those responsible with solving it: Angela Bradstreet, Lupe Almaraz, Abigael Calva, and Jorge Gomez: put your little heads together and stop the bleeding in the DLSE Santa Ana Wage Claims office.

The Bloger has it absolutely right when he says that Bradstreet's fix for the Santa Ana office is trying to patch up an amputation with a band-aid. We have watched DLSE's management team play their musical chairs game switching the deputies around trying to fix labor shortages with out replacing anyone for a number of years. I think this time they are going to fall on their asses. Two years ago the Santa Ana office was man loaded for 7 deputy ones and amazingly enough they had 7 deputy ones. Today they have 3.5 deputies and management believes they can fix this problem without hiring any new bodies. They are out of their minds. Poor Jorge is already fighting off a mutiny, and he is not mentally equipped to handle that. Maybe he will take off another ninety days. Right now if you were to file a claim with the Santa Ana office you might, if you were lucky, get a conference in 120 days. I wonder how the judge in Corrales would feel about this timely situation. Bradstreet why don't you be a man, and fix this situation.

Anyone know why John Rea has not yet given up his office in Oakland in Jim Culbeaux's area?
