Ex-Employee Blasts City Hall

Elizabeth Rankin

 

Another twist in the story today, as a letter, apparently from former city hall employee, Lia Fruili, has surfaced online.

 

The letter, which blasts City Hall for a wide array of issues, comes after a controversial race went ahead last weekend, which was visited by LSNN. The event, which was woefully under-prepared and under-resourced for the scope that the event had originally planned. This, was in part, due to, as the letter says, a complete disregard for employee support by city government, leaving Fruili to, not only organise the event herself, but to fund it after Mayor Rockford ignored the invoices and requests to do so, despite initially approving the event. Fruili states that she had not received any communication regarding Rockford's concerns until four hours until the event began.

 

The letter also discusses the incompetence of City Hall, pointing towards Rockford's 'untouchable status' as the reason why there are no meetings or discussions held within City Hall, with Rockford taking prerogative, as well as an Massimo Bonamici, over decisions within the government. The letter ends on an explicit note, reader discretion is advised. "Shootings every day? Who gives a fuck? A massive amounts of accidents on the roads every day? Who gives a fuck? Flaws in our laws? Hmm, who cares? No public transportation in 2020? Blindfolded. Departments without leaders? Well, well, for the brighter future! A community day with the people? Nah, we don't need that!" A government source has been contacted for comment. LSNN has archived the letter for viewers,this will be accessible in the comments section.

 

'No meetings, no goals, no directions.'

 

Is this the spark that'll set off change within City Government?

Mister Rockford, your presence in this town is close to zero. You are not available in day-to-day means, during my employment I managed to see you two times in total, for 15-15 minutes. Even though I organized in-house meetups, you never managed to come and talk with your employees, you never gave a single minute to me, or us to talk with you. Your closest accomplice, Massimo Bonamici is just the same as you.

 

As soon as your government hired me, my induction to this work was a single email, nothing else. Nobody helped me through my first weeks, nobody gave me instructions or any know-how, all I received from your government was a single induction email with approximately 30 pages of legal bullshit, then good luck. Even though last night when you ordered me to your office I told you this fact, seemingly you found this acceptable, and fired me anyway. Even though, the Cultural Department has no director at the moment, who may help your employees with the job you gave them, you expect everybody to make a flawless job on first try. 

 

The Los Santos Race was financed by me, seemingly you were totally okay with this fact as well. Even though our paycheck is not more than $50,000, you were totally happy with the fact that I burned more than $250,000 from my owns pockets and with this, you pushed me into a situation where I can't even afford my fuel. As you can see in your inbox, I asked both you and the treasurer, Stanley Blackwood, who is just as a ghost as you and Massimo for help, but you managed to ignore this fact as well. Financing events from the employee's pockets isn't a new thing, during my time with your government I heard many times that you like to ignore requests like this, making the Curators pay for their own events. The reputation what you may or may not receive from the Department's work is sweet for you, but nothing else. 

 

You talk about professionalism and top-notch work all the time, even though the Government doesn't have any collective meetings. Every department can work on their own, some department with a helpful director, some department without a director at all, but where your government goes, what plans you have, what you expect from people, where to go when you need help... these details are not as important to see your employees at least once a month. As I write this letter, the government is operating without any regular, weekly or monthly meeting where both the directors the and Mayor is present. You are untouchable and you enjoy this. 

 

Mister Rockford, you are absolutely okay with a fact that an employee of yours is publicly humiliated with an event which is organized from the employee's pocket. Not a single word came out from your mouth about this, mental health is not something you passionate about. Even though the organizing of Los Santos Race took more than a month, the first time I heard about your concerns were four hours before the event. The fact that I was there alone and all my department was somewhere else is seemingly not a problem in your eyes, but when someone makes mistakes when managing more than a hundred people, your eyes turn red immediately. Learning and making better and better things each month is not something you expect or like, firing people after taking their money is much more like you, Mister Rockford. 

 

You hired me, without any proper induction period. From day one, you expected me to work for the department but you, or the person above us, Massimo Bonamici never gave me a single word about the job we do. Almost a month passed from the day when I was hired when the first time someone above me called me about our job. 

 

You were a hundred percent okay with the fact that my department is somewhere else when I managed to organize an event, even though you expected me to carry this out without flaws. And yes, to answer your question, I asked for help, many times. Another option, I can cancel the event three hours before we start and take the public's humiliation once again and let my own money fly away without even having the event. I hope you see the problem, Mister Rockford. 

In my situation, where you took away not just my savings but my reputation as well, gladly, I have nothing much to lose anyway. At least for the first time, the public can be aware of the procedures inside the government. 

 

No meetings, no goals, no directions. Departments running without Directors, untouchable leadership. A government without vision and actions. Frankly, without any daily work from you and your closest pals. A letter here and there and basically that's all. You can say this is not true, but we both know the truth. 

 

Shootings every day? Who gives a fuck? A massive amounts of accidents on the roads every day? Who gives a fuck? Flaws in our laws? Hmm, who cares? No public transportation in 2020? Blindfolded. Departments without leaders? Well, well, for the brighter future! A community day with the people? Nah, we don't need that! 

 

Those who work make mistakes, Mister Rockford. Only those who do not work can remain immaculate.

Well done Ms. Fruli for speaking up against the system despite the pressures from her employer, and in light of the widespread abuse and negativity from the event.

 

Ms. Fruli, you have my respect at the very least.

Comment:  As much as I appreciate honest criticism — especially from someone qualified to give it, as Ms. Fruili here — and as much as I support holding public officials to account for their policy choices and their actions — or, rather, in this case, their inaction — there is one pressing issue which bears reminding: Ms. Fruili needs to carefully walk the NDA line.
 

I expect she will have more to say about her time in the government, so I firmly recommend that she sit down with someone qualified to go over the particulars of the NDA and then sort out what can be said without breaching it.  There will be public-policy impediments, public interest, and First-Amendment intricacies (especially here because the speech operates against the government of the day) to consider.  Barring national security contexts, virtually no NDA is immune from those considerations.  


All the best wishes, Ms. Fruili.

The race was indeed under prepared and had flaws but all in al it was quite a good time. Finally something happened in the city and this happens, something need to change! This is a fact that can't be ignored longer. The issue is that I haven't seen the mayor personally since Christmas, he never shows or is there to answer any questions. Every bit of this government is broken from the licensing department to the higher ups it seems.

 think lia fruili should be investigated for tax fraud by the IRS and FBI. how did she single-handedly fund a 250k project out of her pockets?? 

I know that she had a well paying job prior to this at a big firm where she was one of the higher ups.

Comment: For one thing - you can only feel sad, because this is the state of the government right now: a mayor sits there, feeling untouchable and does not give a fuck about it. In the good old days - the leader took fucking responsibility as well, and stepped back. But it seems, that this Mayor, whose name I do not even know from the top of my head, because never have seen him, is holding tight on the position. Not even voted in, just given the spot. But on the other hand - miss Friuli should have addressed the concerns beforehand, not after the fact, in my honest opinion. She, sadly, took a very biiiig piece of work, and failed-- 
It would have been nothing bad, if she would have addressed the issues and blown the whistle on the mayor before it all happened.
