Hired - Then Fired?
If true, this would be priceless:
- And the fun continues.
Tina Skahill made her triumphant return to the department as assistant general counsel in the office of legal affairs. Her first day of work was Nov 1, Tuesday. She was promptly terminated on Wednesday, Nov 2.
Turns out CPD Human Resources, specifically "The Don", have no idea that we operate under something called a "hiring plan" which is allegedly some type of hiring procedure the city follows to ensure fair and open hiring processes.
There is someone who knows all about the hiring plan though, that is the inspector general, who ordered Tina removed from the payroll. Turns out ole Joe wants to enforce policies that require at least the charade of fair hiring instead of just picking someone based on their flavor or their association with some prestigious or noble organization. Tina will likely be back after the department goes through the song and dance of actually posting the job and "considering" applicants. Anyone who applies other than Tina is a complete fool.
Kudos to whomever blew the whistle on this nonsense, word is it was someone from the inside whose has been on the outs with the new regime for some time (you could FOIA it to find out). Just another example as to what happens when the department is left to its own devices with no oversight. The Don specifically is either complicit in his duties or part of the corruption, either way, not someone who should be running a major department's human resources division.
The best and the brightest indeed!
Would someone please show O'Neil the door? This tool causes the City and the Department more headaches than a CompStat meeting.

Show Steve Georges the door! Please.
Or Tina could make some money by suing the city?
NYAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
XD
Maybe Tina can use Granny Clampett's legal gambit
and threaten to sue the multi-colored panties off
Rahm Emanuel's narrow and swishy ass unless she's hired?
Heh...
Rumor is that the Feds are here only to bother
Policemen about use of force incidents previously
adjudicated as justified, while dirty, evil, rotten
cock-suckers like Don O'Neil are left in place
to thrive and prosper.
These are the Best and Brightest?
Drain the Swamp!
Chlorinate the Gene Pool!
When I was in the Academy,Skahill was a Sgt there,She is a Racist piece of Shit.
I wonder how many months severance pay she received on her way out?
Fuck Crooked Chicago.
Too bad Trump wasn't running for Mayor in Chicago.
The swamp in Chicago REALLY needs draining. A LOT of it.
It's the Chicago way.
DO'N is retiring vesy soon. This was probably his last order to fix before he goes. Backfired.
OT- I saw a name in the mail I received the other day. I thought we weren't supposed to say, GEIGER-GEIGER-GEIGER!
I'll save you the trouble - it was the new GC, Cherise Valente. She's pissed and apparently not as bright as city hall thought.
Hmmmmm.....did they do the same for Kirkpatrick? Never seen her job posted
How was Granny Clampett's significant other hired? Inquiring minds want to know.
Good morning SCC! This is true. The grown ups at 35th Street have all been let go or retired. Eddie is all in on the "Friends and Family" program worse than any superintendent since before Shackman. Robin "tweaking like a hype" Robinson, Robert "I just left Rahm's down-low cubs and bears party" Boik and Anne "I once saw an arrest on TV" Kirkpatrick all got hired for politics, but were exempt from the hiring plan because of their title codes. (Robin-to appease Eddie, Boik-to do what Rahm wants, Anne-to avoid the EEOC lawsuit) Eddie can't stop! He hired Tina for a legal job, even though she has less knowledge of the law than a newly graduated John Marshall D student. He is hiring his old buddy for a newly created "deputy director" in the academy (sorry, Anne, the heat from the blog killed your girlfriend's budget line, so you can send her back to Seattle) even though he has no qualifications other than being a retired merit sergeant. Eddie has also been placing his girls in secret spots around the city to be "taken care of." One had a no-show job at JISC and when the unclouted complained, she got hidden at FOIA. Then there's BB, who has been hidden in FOIA after they've tried to dump her for her illiteracy numerous times. Best part-FOIA is supposed to civilianize and they supposedly dumped all the POs out, but Eddie keeps hiding his girls there. Say what you want about his leadership, but at least Eddie tries really hard to take care of his girls and put them in positions they are totally unable to do, so he is a great role model for how to be an embarrassing corrupt joke. Meanwhile, anyone know how our murder rate looks?
How did we get Granny Clampett and her girlfriend?
How about the niece of the Northwestside Aldercreature who suddenly got on getting on a tac team when her nephew became aldercreature? For many years she was kept away from tac bec of her reputation as a goof and nobody could work with her. Really sucks for the team she got put on...but at least we don't have to deal with her on the watch....sigh.Hiring plan my ass.
Could the inspector look into this?
Given not earned....
ISD Deputy Clueless Useless Lewin made sure Tina was promptly provided with a computer. So much ass kissing going on at 35th Street that you can see the shit on the lips of so many exempt members walking through the halls at headquarters.
MAIU test has been rescheduled due to having us work like dogs over last two weeks or more straight. Someone was thinking for once.
Typical democratic run city, wouldn't be great if we had this state finally wake up and vote Republican, you know with all the murder and shootings everyday in chiraq, guess they want hillary to continue the murder and mayhem as this country is being totally destroyed!
A "fair and open" hiring process? This is Chicago. Don't send nobody nobody sent.
I was a sergeant in a plain clothes investigative unit. I frequently sat in on interview boards for officer who wanted to transfer into the unit. Not once did any of those who appeared before the board ever make it on the transfer order, although many were more then qualified. And, when someone did make it to the unit, they were never one of those who appeared before the board. How does that work? Many times when the opening was posted the requirements were tailored for someone they had in mind and requirements that very few could meet. There is nothing on the up and up about much of anything in this town.
"She can just file a grievance." Don O
Don O'Neill is Burkes guy. Burke runs the department
I've given up on this department to implement fairness in lateral moves such as officers on the watch to tact or to units; sergeants and lieutenants from patrol to units.
this whole thing about going through human resources is a joke. it's just a hoop you have to jump through before your "clout" signs you in. The HR process gives bosses a chance to turn someone down who isn't "on the list," but if you are on the HR list, they say, "Yeah great we'll look into it." once you get on the HR list for a lateral move, you still have to make your phone call. there are lots with the skills, experience, education and training who do not get into units because of a lack of political connections.
New philosophy now: don't work for this job, make it work for you.
Word is she's way in over her head. Not qualified to do any legal work. Everyone knows why she recieved the job. Great, all we need is another ex-chief walking around HQ thinking she's running the police department. Hopefully she realizes and stays at home continuing to collect her big fat pension.
I was CPD in a unit for awhile that was primarily civilian. These poor kids would put on a suit and tie to go in and have their interview which had already been decided well in advance as to who was getting the promotion. Felt sorry for them. Even the civilian unit bosses giving the interviews would roll their eyes at the song and dance charade.
Donkey Punch Don has to go. But his loyalty to Daley-Rahm runs deep.
The City saved millions under his reign at HR/MLAS as well as Lt Assn.
But of the Don goes, here's comes the Ska with no skill.
ot-
Make sure you go to vote, either early vote or on Tuesday.
The community activists are all over social media on who their followers should vote for listing the cook county judges they like and don't like.
There are more than a few that are police friendly and we need to keep as many of those as we can.
VOTE
Just how on earth was O'Neill hired for HR when he retired from CPD?
Same bs over and over and over again.
Whether you retire and get rehired or your looking to change units.
If you don't know someone on the inside, it just isn't gonna happen.

Sorry, there's no hiring plan for tac teams. I assume you think you deserve to be on the team and she doesn't. About the only thing that qualifies anyone to be on a tac team is an overwhelming desire to risk their career, freedom, and finances to generate numbers for some clueless boss. If you're dumb enough to volunteer for that, you deserve a spot on the team.
Sad fact is Tina, Robin, Roussell, Boik, Terry Gainer and a one of two on the horizon have the same job. Advisor to the Superintendent. How many advisors does this idiot need? Bad question because he is so dumb he probably needs a dozen. But the ones he hires don't bring anything brainpower. Make it rain Eddie!!!!!
The obvious way around this is to tailor the job description to the person you want to hire. It happens all the time. "Gee. Looks like she's the only qualified candidate!"

The New CPD motto.
11/5 @12:24 - The FBI won't look into unfair hiring/promotions since:
1). They will not hurt the Nobility since Noblemen/women also infest the feebs and can't be touched.
2). Their role model, J. Edgar Hoover, was a first class cocksucker. O'Neil is only a second rate cocksucker trying to get a first class rating.

How about the 2 from 18 who mysteriously appeared in Gang Investigations on a phone order in the middle of the period. One is a Rat who beefed on a Sergeant in while 12 on Tac, the Sergeant took 200 plus days and they reward these 2 with a unit. No interview or application necessary. Hey Inspector General are you awake.
Hes just making it legit because hes about to put out a report thats says the lts list was legit Should be out this week on a friday news dump
Tina is nice enough, but how many assistants does Eddie need? Boik, Roussell, Tina, Robin, Terry. The money would be better spent on police. 700 murders by December.
Actually, if Joe did this right, Tina is on the "Do Not Hire/Not allowed to employ" list now.
Don tries to bypass that and he will get fired and lose his pension.
"Don O'Neill is Burkes guy. Burke runs the department"
There is a way to fix that issue.
And the word is, Burke got ticketed the other day on Lake Street for parking his ride in the Police Vehcies only block.
Cheaters,cheaters, oh mr green can you bag my Groceries!
12th Dis. Tina was actually shot by her partner at the scene of a school Burglary. Both were promoted to Sergeant and later to Lieutenant.
The city that works.
Steve Georgas is one of the only competent bosses left on this job. Fact.

.... you were a sgt in a plainclothes unit??? But your somehow confused about people getting into the unit?? How can you actually write that man? It's all legit right sgt?!
HA HA better luck next time stupid!

"How does that work?"
You don't know by now?
O'Neill has been a tool ever since he became the CO of MLAS. He has only expanded his "MastersMastersMasters" style of leadership....to everyone else's detriment!
When I was in the Academy,Skahill was a Sgt there,She is a Racist piece of Shit.
Racist HOW? You can say a lot about Tina, but racist simply is not true.
Her ex husband was white. She was a fair boss. Have no idea how she managed
to hook a new job while bypassing all the protocols, but this is Chi. It's not the
first time it's happened, and it won't be the last. At least Tina is qualified.
Anyone remember A certain 10-12 year 'veteran' officer (boy toy of a certain
male exempt who was fired and went to prison for a short while some years back)
who an exempt got moved over to O'Hare, then shortly thereafter, quit the
job to become the Commissioner of Human Services, until he got in a DUI
crash with his city vehicle? Forced to resign the following day, only to turn
up a few short months later, discovered to be employed by the PARK DISTRICT?
It's just the Chicago way!
Go away Tina please if you are so smart why do you keep taking the government jobs.

Listen there is supposed to be a legit process where the IG sits in and monitors the interviews. This was put in place by the Department of Justice, which obviously the city doesn't seem to recognize. This to will bite them in the ass sooner or later.
How about that female goof they put on 17 dist tact team. Her nephew makes alderman and she goes to the tac team after years of trying with no luck since no one wants to work with her. The person that got stuck with her quit and went back to the watch. They can't find anyone who wants to work with her and the team just has to take turns babysitting this goof. What a shit show.

Yeah,she's qualified. Just like Hillary is qualified.
Very experienced at f--king up.
Hey 12th District city that works. If you are so sure you know what happened that night I guess you were there. Yes Tina was being used as a shield by the bad and got a band aid on her back. No one denies that and she is lucky to be alive. Only one of those two ever got a meritorious promotion and that one went way higher.
Tina was not a Racist , very nice lady , good Boss .
Actually, if Joe did this right, Tina is on the "Do Not Hire/Not allowed to employ" list now.
Don tries to bypass that and he will get fired and lose his pension.
11/05/2016 07:20:00 PM
How does she get on a Do Not Hire/Not Allowed To Employ list?
"How about that female goof they put on 17 dist tact team."...
I heard that her entire team hates her Lol.
BTW the female that they put with her was also a challenge...lemme see, nobody wanted to work with her on third watch because she has a big mouth know it all, she worked for a year in 11 or 15! then we got her on midnights after she got dumped from third watch management, then she cried and went to the tac team because she couldn't work midnights. I heard nobody liked her from the tac team either. so now , she got days working the school unit. put it this way, at least their not on first watch !

11/06/2016 08:17:00 AM
Yes, I wrote it and I am not confused. When did a sergeant in any unit actually have a final say on who is transferred into the unit. We knew that the clout was the final authority. This was long before the Feds showed up. Terry Hillard ran things then and everything was clout. My point is the interview boards and vacancy announcements were only for show. They knew from the start who they wanted in the unit.
Weren't there other retired bosses hired right back as civilians the exact same way?
