She spends a lot of time in the shelters talking directly to staff...so where are you getting your flawed logic from?<br /><br />You're right, Ed. She cannot do it alone. Every instance of thuggery and unwarranted rudeness by any employee must be reported with contact info for the witness, so that it can be followed up.Jeff de la Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889029614977747240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-20181502430963405542010-09-29T21:39:51.641-07:002010-09-29T21:39:51.641-07:00I don't think she can change the culture.

I did not attack Barnette; I attacked certain actions by some of her employees and asked whether they were following official LAAS policy.<br /><br />For Christ's sake, actually read what I wrote in the posts and emails.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-42305151159757331482010-09-29T13:02:35.185-07:002010-09-29T13:02:35.185-07:00If BB is to change the culture of the department, ...If BB is to change the culture of the department, she must win the hearts and minds of the district managers.
