Skelly Hearing for Blogger's termination finished at lightning speed...the kangaroo court continues

The Skelly Officer took a meeting with DIR Chief Counsel Vanessa Holton hours before the Skelly Hearing. I know that the Skelly Officer wants to please his handlers, since he's still working and collecting a state paycheck. It's not everyday that Vanessa Holton flies down and spends time at the Santa Ana office; in fact, it's the first time that I've even heard about Vanessa visiting Santa Ana.
Skelly Hearing started at 10am on 08/06/08 in Santa Ana, finished at 11am and the Skelly Officer was able to review the case, make no changes, transmit the information to HQ in San Francisco, and HQ sent the letter the same day. This was the fastest I've seen the DIR work since they gave away that free, taxpayer money at the CMS contractors for the $10,000,000+ computer software garbage that doesn't work.

It is hard to believe that educated people that have law degrees can act so childish. I take it this Skelly Hearing Officer is a lawyer. He must have been with the state a good period of time and yet he is so scared of Vanessa that he rushes his opinion to her like a kindergarten child who thinks he is late for school. I feel sorry for you Blogman, but remember this is your down time. You have got to be a little depressed, however just think how high you will feel, without ever taking a drink, when you get the judges decision that states that you get your job back with full pay, penalties up the kazoo and legal fees.

Incredible! Has the DIR ever been this effecient before? Or is the whole administrative process a complete joke?
Just think..only 9 more days until all you state workers get your minimum wage paychecks...and that is Federal, not State, minimum wage!

Skelly hearing officers are selected by DIR to protect itself. Bill Whiteley's decision was pre-determined by DIR Legal and he would never have considered any of the facts.

Did you really think you would get a fair hearing in the State of California's administrative process? The sooner this process is over the sooner you get into Superior Court. You got a great judge last time. You were very lucky. You may not do so well this time. The judges in Superior Court are over worked and it might be hard to get one that will actually read you're brief, but you will prevail in Appeals Court. Three judges our always better then one judge. These Looney Tunes (Munoz & Jones) working for the DIR have never been in Appeals court. They won't know how to act. Just remember no extensions. Miles Locker gave them an extension and we have never heard from him since. Don't be a nice guy. It never pays off. Vanessa is still laughing at Miles.

Jim Culbeaux and his sister Christine Baker both State of California DIRt Employees continue to rob the state and devour millions from the state's coffers. Hello CMS!!!

When will these criminals get jail time?

A few words of advice to all state employees: no one represents your interests except you. Not your HR Department,EEO office, union, SPB, DPA or any other entity. The state employment system (equality, fairness, lack of nepotism & cronism, etc) is a complete sham. The hiring process is a joke, the exam/promotion process is a joke and the progrressive disciplinary process is a joke.

Has anyone else noticed that Mr. Dean Fryer's comments seem to be conspicuously absent from this board recently? What gives? Is he on vacation, did his state computer crash or is he just busy with other 'stuff'???

REASON DEAN FRYER IS NOT HERE IS ON ADVICE OF DIRt LEGAL. THE MAN DEAN IS A PROSTITUTE, THATS HOW HE GOT THE JOB. NEXT TIME YOU PASS HIM NOTICE HIS POSTURE. DEAN'S HALF-INCH-DICK HAS SHRIVELLED EVEN FURTHER.

THE MORE GARBAGE DEAN POSTED HERE THE BETTER, AS IT MADE OTHER VICTIMS OF RETALIATION/DISCRIMINATION BY DIRt COME FORWARD. GOOD JOB.

I wonder if DIR has paid the judgement for the blogger's legal fees that the court ordered them to pay? Probably not- last I heard they were'working on it'. At what point will they be ordered to pay interest?

Here's an idea to all of the business owners that have been ordered to pay some sort of fine or penalty by the DIR- delay, appeal, delay some more and then tell them you 'are working on it'. Can you imagine how this tactic would work for a private citizen?

How is it that a State Agency is allowed to violate a judge's order? There must be some sort of sanctions that can be levied against them.

Shortly before the Blogger's termination he requested to go on 10/40 flex hours. Of course our spiteful management wasn't going to let him have anything he might want to have, so they turned down his request. Their reasoning for turning down his request was that his evaluation wasn't up to par. However, it didn't take him long to realize that he had never really been evaluated. No one from management had ever set through one of the conferences. His original training program amounted to "just hang out, what we do here will rub off on you". The Blogger wasn't going to leave that alone, he started screaming what evaluation so they fired him. Somewhere along the line it dawn on our illustrious management that maybe they might not have thought this through thoroughly and just to cover their asses they took every one in wage claims off 10/40 state wide. If you got knocked off of 10/40 don't blame the Blogger all he wanted was they same thing you had. It was our "great management team" that decided they didn't have to treat everyone equal until they got them selves in hot water. Then they decided that equality meant if you are going to screw Lotts you will have to screw everyone else too.

If DIRt refuses to pay what the judge ordered, then all business owners should act like DIRt: appeal, delay, and refuse to pay!
