Last year Jim Culbeaux from the IT Department and Dan Nishijima both managers solicited questions from certain individuals with the intent to promote. One such individual named Jefferey Seeman came forward and exposed them. Other individuals such as Jose Nevarez, Jackie Chang and others benefited from these exams.

Did the IT Department loose two employees because of those exams? I heard there were two employees who quit cause they could not tolerate all that is going on here at DIR.

There are heavy staff turnover at the DIR IT Unit under the management of Jim Culbeaux and Dan Nishijima. This is unusual for state. These two managers committed fraud in conducting promotional exams and have been caught. This issue is not resolved by any means.

Let's re-cap: DLSE & DIR managers read this blog, and that includes any manager that that whines about this blog. Now, these managers also have an obligation to forward any allegation(s) for investigation. So this begs the question, what has Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet done with these allegations? Is she going to sweep them under the rug, just like dumbshit Regional Manager Abigael Calva protecting Hearing Officer Vicki Tamoush (all these years) with complaints made against her?

Suck-asses and snitches (sub standard employees who cannot stand by their performance) will always be protected by DLSE/DIR managers, and the public continues to suffer from this perverted customer service.

What the heck is going on with Jim Culbeaux, Dan Hishijima, Jeff Seeman, CMS, and DLSE-Nor Cal? Do these comments "concern" Bradstreet?

Here's a little something that those turds attorneys in OD-Legal can corroborate, but the theory on OD-Legal investigations is similar to the theory on mushroom growth: feed them bullshit and keep them in the dark. Let's see if these morons can initiate, facilitate, and consumate an honest investigation that would benefit the taxpayers of California. If they're finished losing to the Blogger, then let's see what the DLSE/DIR morons can do with these comments:

Comment #1) Jim Culbeaux was hired at DIR as a student assistant by his sister Christine Baker. Christine was head of the IT Department, that at the time, was small, and was part of the Division of Labor Statistics and Research (DLSR). Jim Culbeaux majored in Forestery and has absolutely no knowledge in the computer industry. Christine Baker has ties to corrupt senators and politicians and has used this influence to push for Jim Culbeaux's promotions over the years. Jim Culbeaux was promoted to Data Processing Manager IV (DPM IV) when other Departments with much bigger and larger operations such as CalTrans did not have their Chief Information Officers above the DPM III level. There is not one successfull project that Jim Culbeaux can take credit for......posted by Anonymous : 9/02/2007 6:50 AM

Comment #2) Here's news from Nor Cal. I heard that last year Jim Culbeaux held exams for the Systems Software Specialist series I, II and III. Prior to the exams Jim Culbeaux and his accomplice Dan Nishijima asked certain individuals what questions they could answer so as to ask those same questions at the exams. As predicted only the individuals with advance knowledge of the questions made it to the lists. One such individual named Jeff Seeman was insulted by the offer and the outcome and thought is was unfair to the other individuals taking the exams and came forward and turned Jim Culbeaux and Dan Nishijima in. The exams were abolished and are being held again this time by the SPB. However nothing has been done to the perpetrators of this crime namely Jim Culbeaux and Dan Nishijima. Does this sound unique at DIR or has this happened many times before?...posted by Choclate Swirl : 9/02/2007 10:05 AM

Comment #3) Is Rea going to be put up at a Hotel at Taxpayer expense? Rea lives in Berkeley some 80 miles from where he is to report at Sacramento.Rea was given a office in Oakland (a stones throw from Berkeley), in the middle of the IT Department, a month ago by Mr. Culbeaux, manager of the failed CMS system. IT Department folks please report back if this office has been given up by Rea....posted by Anonymous : 8/11/2007 7:27 AM

Comment #4) WE KNOW ABOUT JIM CULBEAUX, REA'S UNDERLING AND THE CREATOR OF THE CMS SYSTEM FIASCO. WE ARE AMAZED AT HIS INSIDIOUSNESS IN DIVERTING THE BLAME ONTO DLSE STAFF AND REA....posted by Anonymous : 8/11/2007 6:29 PM

Comment #5) They are still paying big money to the private consultants to fix the failed CMS. The consultants are working with at the IT site(near close friends, Clubeaux and Clement). I don't believe they are working for free. You see, they are still making big money for their Hansen on a computer system that they know it is not fixable since it is their creation. WHO IS RIPPING OFF TAXPAYERS WITH THIS PHONY IT CONSULTING WORK ??...posted by Anonymous : 8/12/2007 8:06 AM

Comment #6) It looks like; Mr. Rae does have an office in the IS Unit in the Oakland building. Rae will be close to those responsible for the CMS fiasco, Culbeaux, and the private IT consultants who created this non-functioning computer system. May be Culbeaux and other DLSE managers connected to the CMS need an attorney!...posted by Anonymous : 8/12/2007 3:58 PM

Comment #7) In regards to the comments above. I can bet Jim Culbeaux was not given a reprimand. He maintains strong ties to the insurance industry, Labor, Management and UC Berkeley. Jim Culbeaux's sister, Christine Baker of Committee on Health and Safety at DIR, funds many UC Berkeley studies, thru DIR funds. These studies can be skewed to suit the insurance industry, the AFL-CIO and others that Christine has connections and in return for favors for DIR. See article http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/08/11/BU4FRGLB5.DTL&hw=health+safety&sn=003&sc=396 in the San Francisco Chronicle. I bet Rea, Jones, Holton etc. will be gone before they can get close to Culbeaux, for any kind of reprimand....posted by Anonymous : 8/13/2007 7:05 AM
