Yesterday FDG (Napoleon) and Bobby G. (Hitler) made the decision to move employees, not all employees just four. Three typists and an account clerk.
Molly from the Senior Center will be working at the Town Court. She tells me that the seniors, her boss DM and she herself does not want to leave the center. The Seniors are pissed and will be marching on Town Hall at the January 12, 2011 town board meeting.
Donna from the Highway Department will be moved to the Supervisors office and will be required to not only perform her duties at the Highway, she will also be doing the job of the current typist. No, not do nothing Darlene, Diane. Donna has also told me she does not want to be moved.
Cindy, formerly Eunice's typist, former typist for the senior center, former typist for the Highway Dept. and finally the current typist for the Public Works Department will be transferred again to the senior center to take Molly's place. Cindy has told me that if she has to be moved she would like to move to the Town Court; however, she would like to stay at the Department of Public works.
Diane from the Supervisors office will be transferred to the Department of Public Works. Diane has told me that she is happy where she is in the Supervisors office and prefers to stay there.
Now why I ask you if all of these people, who know their jobs, do well at their jobs and prefer to stay at their jobs are being moved?

Hitler and Napoleon your days are numbered!
Mary, you might want to settle down. This is just a continuation of Tommasone's policy of cross-training. We don't get to choose when or where we get moved to, but should just be happy we still have a job. Besides, since when did you become the HR director?
I am not a big fan of FD or BG, but moving people around is nothing knew at all. Every administration for the last 20 years has done the same thing. As for the seniors marching on townhall, ask boomer how much difference that made.
Every supervisor for the past 30 years in every town in the state move personnel around. You are spot on Zorro. Be happy you didn't get pink slipped. The powers of the Supervisor are now being tested and we shall see who is the Chief Operating Officer....FDG or the CSEA union and we all know the abuse of power that took place in our neighboring city when the CSEA is given free reign. Get behind the Supervisor or get OUT!!!!!!!!!

Cross training is one thing. Being moved from one job to another is also one thing and is actually encouraged.
But even in private businesses, some people question the motives. Some people are moved around for cross training, for the advancement of the positon/person and some are moved around before they are moved 'out'.....or perhaps it is done to create an undesirable atmosphere in the hopes of a resignation. It's done in private businesses everyday.

And to follow up on that BT...from what I am told it is a hostle work environment in TH, Senior Center and Hwy Garage. Give it a chance. It beats layoffs if you ask me.

I agree. And on that note, perhaps the powers that be in rotterdam will begin to take on the other unions, besides the CSEA.

Previous administrations have filled the position of Confidential Secretary for years --- it is done in other municipalities --- there is absolutely nothing wrong with having one.
The position of Deputy Town Clerk would be necessary - even if the Town Clerk were back from her medical leave.

It's done in the bureaucrat heaven called New York State. Local governments create unnecessary patronage postitions to reward party loyalist.(mainly Democrat)
That way the party can shop around local governments controlled by their party to place bureaucrats like JM and the Confidential Secretary from I believe Rensselaer.
JM is the assessor for two towns of approximately the same size. One town pays $90K full time the other $33K part time. Either one town is over paying and getting ripped off, or the other is going to be getting poor service(it was poor when he was full time) since it is obvious we will be second fiddle to JM's primary job. Time will tell.
There absolutely everything wrong with having a confidential secretary. What is so secret and confidential at the peoples Town Hall? It's A SECRETARY - it could be filled by many qualified people in Rotterdam. But by attaching the word "confidential" to the title, they expect to convince the people that it is a necessary political appointment. What a joke.
