Bloomington continues exchanging employees with Decatur:
From LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cordaryl-patrick-016b3633/
Where did Cordaryl Patrick come from?
Is that right Cordaryl 8 jobs in 18 years? The corporation that I retired from would never even consider hiring someone who has gone through that many jobs. But heck what do I know!
Another stinker from bean town. Go figure.
Giving an unqualified person a job for what reason? Why hire someone for a job and a paycheck?
The presentation he gave last night was pretty solid and he came across like knew what he was doing. I don’t know why you are targeting him just because he came from Decatur, as if that’s something to be ashamed of. If you were part of the full-time, developing-a-career workforce in the past 10-15 years, you would know job hopping was pretty common. We’re seeing a bit of a shift back toward longer tenures at jobs IMO, but hopping around for a bit was the modus operandi for a time.
Numerous employee swaps with Decatur is the point.
Two articles on this guy is just weird.
Forced to read?
I and readers knew nothing about him, now they do
Oh pa-lease! Like Decatur is an economic model that the rest of America should follow, lmao. It’s cronies rewarding cronies rewarding cronies everything they do, everywhere they go. Grow the staff of government bigger so they always support more government.
Decatur got lucky thanks to The Oracle of Omaha , not through anything Cordaryl did.
Bloomington does not even need this position. A DEI filler job , one of several unneeded and over compensated staff positions within city government that should be sent back COD c/o Tim Gleason Decatur IL.
