These guys keep falling like shoo-shoo flies. Where there are flies there is often shoo-shoo.
Maybe after all the flies are swatted, the real source of the problem will be flushed. Eerybody’s aiming one notch below the real problem. (an analogy anyone with army experience can understand, even the retired!)
i dont believe they are aiming one notch below the problem, everything below the problem are there to protect the problem. they resign so the public believes the real problem isnt the problem.
What’s really disgusting is the people who keep doing snu-snu in all that shoo-shoo.
One has to ask whether a person who has been on the job less than a year should be held responsible for an error like that. That agency has been a mess for as long as I have been an employer. It is cultural. At some point you have to run out of scapegoats. When do we start looking at top management? Cue FITS to blame it all on the Governor (who has had charge of the agency for less than two years). I do think the Governor needs to rethink her choice for the head of that agency.
I would say yes, they should be held responsible. one of the issues with dew is that they get rid of people so fast they dont have anyone with the proper experience to do the job. if robinson resigned because of the error that was made, why isnt turner resigning? isn’t he the ultimate person of accountability in that agency? it seems odd all these people are being forced to resign yet he continues to remain in charge. in charge without accountability. robinson was there about nine months, turners been there just over a year. if she was accountable enough to take the fall, why shouldn’t he be more accountable? and the gov’ner is the one letting all of this continue so she should be held accountable for the entire mess. they will never run out of scapegoats, they keep hiring more.
when you have so many upper management staff that are not qualified to do the job they have been hired to do, how can it be a surprise when they suddenly are asked to resign? its an agency of incompetent management and inept leadership.
It may well be that those who are leaving CAN do their job and are threatening to those who only seek political posturing.
Given the Gypsy Queen Governor’s logic that the head of the snake is not responsible for what it kills, there is no doubt that the Military Junta of Retired Camouflaged Cockroaches will remain in power.
When you hire people with no experience it shows doesn’t it? Laura Robinson was not liked and failed to understand the law which causes debacles like what happened. As far as David Salley goes, there is a lot more to the story than what you are reporting so my sources in the agency tell me. A lot more.
Then please, tell us the rest of the story……….
Hey Mary – Laura Robinson is a lawyer, has plenty of experience, and understood the law better than most in that agency. She truly cared about doing the right thing for the agency, the employers and the taxpayers in the state pushed everyone around her to work hard. And having someone in government who cares about doing the right thing and working hard sometimes makes you unpopular – shocking, right? She inherited a gargantuan mess over there and was trying to fix it. Talk about more to the story.
Having worked with her at another company, I can attest to the fact that she was not well liked at all when I worked with her. And you should really find out why she left Companion. Just because someone is educated does not mean they are qualified to lead others.

i hear the chief of staff resigned last friday as well. possibly the only person that was doing a job they were qualified to do since dr. anderson left.
If that were true then why isn’t FITS all over it?
Chief of staff Lowder was a military guy brought in by Turner.
i hear he was also put out by turner. but who knows. he is definitely gone though.

I agree the agency has been messed up for a long time. That doesn’t excuse Governor Haley from getting it straightened out. It didn’t go bad on her watch but it isn’t getting fixed either.
Another one bites the dust, more to come. Heard a UI claims supervisor left Friday too. How many more will leave? Some can’t be thrown out cuz they’re a permanent fixture. Would love to see some of the oldies, but not goodies go. Never our luck cuz the goodies go, oldies stay.
anyone can be thrown out. what are you referring to, the one year thing? doesn’t matter.
It has been a mess for decades it was run by a benevolent dictator pal of John West. When it changed from the corrupt commission form to a cabinet agency it needed a total house cleaning that was never done.
