Other former OHDC staff have notified me of their agreement with the issues I raised.<BR/><BR/>I did not post my letters for public review although I could very easily have done so. I wanted to give OHDC's management and Board of Directors an opportunity to resolve some of these issues on their own.<BR/><BR/>They failed to do so, in part because the workflow and information systems they created cannot be fixed, but also because OHDC's management is that incompetent and OHDC's board is that disassociated.<BR/><BR/>If you can learn who the OHDC board members are and when they meet, please send me that information. <BR/><BR/>My employment was terminated hours after I demanded an opportunity to speak to the OHDC board directly.<BR/><BR/>I will publish the whistleblowing letters in the coming days to facilitate further discussion.<BR/><BR/>You have no way of knowing how I used my time at OHDC, but that doesn't stop you from making judgements.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, once you have read the letters, you will understand the situation a little better.<BR/><BR/>Four other field staff members left OHDC for better jobs about the same time I did.<BR/><BR/>Chronic, ongoing excessive staff turnover is one of the key issues I raised, and the responsibility for that rests entirely with management and the board.<BR/><BR/>Change is coming to OHDC, probably imposed from outside of the organization, from its funders.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to a discussion of any of the specific issues I have raised or that come up in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818577155071008136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30929496.post-27238742303824622562008-11-09T13:40:00.000-08:002008-11-09T13:40:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818577155071008136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30929496.post-2567357739417449082008-11-08T11:33:00.000-08:002008-11-08T11:33:00.000-08:00Hi Sean, Your blog on OHDC is rather interesting. ...Hi Sean, <BR/><BR/>Your blog on OHDC is rather interesting. I have had many jobs in the workforce development arena in the past and I know some farmworkers who went from making minimum wage at the nurseries to being CDL truck drivers and making up to $46,000.00 in 6 months with overtime and weekend work. All of them helped by OHDC.<BR/><BR/>I was quite surprised that someone who was there for only a few months used that time to look for the negatives of the organization and lash out against directors and managers.<BR/><BR/>You give free speech a bad name. One thing is to be proactive and to contribute and another one is to difame and judge without really understanding.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you are no longer working there. Believe me, people like you are not needed in many organizations. <BR/><BR/>Now, don't get me wrong. If you are right about what you wrote, I am not condoning what they may be doing. But, I completely reject the way you went about wanting to bring change. You just did it in the wrong way. If that is your style and you are in politics, that's a scary combination.<BR/><BR/>Finally, good for you that you are no longer there. I really doubt you could have contributed to positive change, using negative force.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
