A Viewer Writes, Pittsville Water Treatment Plant

Gene Cook who ran the Pittsville water treatment plant was fired today. Probably has something to do with the guy who was fired last week...a new hire Aaron Wolf or something? He was on 90 day probation but took off anyway for personal appointments so he was let go. He said he knew the Town was illegally dumping the iron from the water plant and was going to report it...

You can't work in Pittsville unless you are corrupt or your last name is Moore.

They fired the gene cook guy becasue he was the whistle blower on the dumping and to the very bad conditions the town was over looking and continues to do... What is sad is that these are peoples lives being hurt by all of this, HEALTH WISE, yes people have cases with the Health department as we speak for health issues do to this but the town, well the people who run the town don't give a shit so what does that tell you???? They can't hide the lawsuits that will be coming so they can fire all they want, but the truth will come out...

NOW do you dumb-asses of SBY and surrounding area who read this blog, understand????? No one gives a shit about you or your well being, can you see this now??????? Or do you need your health affected to in order to understand better????

But you don't go on company time...duh. Why should your boss pay for you to run personal appointments?

When I was employed by the state, my first year I was on probation and was not allowed to take any annual leave. As far as I can see the state encompasses more than Eastern Shore. So are you saying typical backwards Eastern Shore or typical backwards state of Maryland? Crawl back under the rock you were under.

So, was the town illegally dumping?

Ever hear of making appointments on your off time? One is hired to do a job and is expected to be there at work when they are supposed to, not when it is convenient.

Did Carla Moore need their salaries so she could go on another vacation?

Both just fall guys for Fat Joe and Whited. Now Fat Joe is going to add a 15 dollar surcharge on each quarter water and sewer bill to match a grant for a water treatment upgrade that was already paid for a few years back and supposed to last 30 years. Where did that money go Constable Harris? I wonder how many free tickets from the sinking ship boxcar 40 will be given to the town council elite for there big crab feast in the near future.

Which is why the STATE enacted a MANDATORY SICK LEAVE LAW.
But I am the idiot.
2019
People have lives
Stuff happens
Evolve.
No one said he had to get paid, he probably wasn't but to think you can't go to the doctor for 90 days is, simply put, ignorant, stupid, illogical, typical eastern shore.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to get an appointment that's not during business hours. Most doctors don't have appointments in the evening.

The employer could just sick the employees hours for the time missed.

All they have left is the whiner frank, who “works so many hours” and can’t keep up blah blah. Sob somewhere else and do your job!

Some people have children that have doctors appointments amd sometimes those people work 7days a week
And when you go to appointments im sure you clock out and arent getting paid. Also beings i have children and work all the time i have to take kids to appointments during the day and i clock out when i go and usually i tell the boss ahead of time.

940, what does your comment have to do with what your replied under?

I hear people say he could make an appointment on his off time. If he worked Monday -Friday, it is hard to make a doctors or dentist appt. because they are closed on weekends! Some appointment are 6-12 months in advanced are you don’t get them! So make it on your off time sounds like a retired person!

The Family Medical Leave Act applies to companies that employ 50 or more employees.

Also, the employee had to have completed at least 1200 hours on the job or 12 months, before this applies.

I didn’t call you an idiot. Just misinformed.

obvious comprehension issues

Would you care to educate us on MD sick laws”!

Because there’s no such thing. Read up
on FMLA.

Comprehension isn’t worth much without knowledge.

Guess who gets to pay for it if they fine the town?

It seems to me that the ones responsible are still in office why do we have to wait to get them out...??? Trump is cleaning the swamp we did to do the same. The Pres.,town mgr and a commissioner need to be replaced...I don't think someone should be a commissioner that was directly related to the embezzlement charges. All the truth has never come completely out and we the people have a right to know.
