Two local officials have been named among the 100 worst bosses in America.
The website eBossWatch.com put former Chattanooga General Services Director Paul Page and former Murray County Commissioner David Ridley, who both left their positions this year after facing sexual harassment claims, on the list, released today.
Page retired in October amid intense public scrutiny of two sexual harassment claims. Both incidents occurred just months apart in 2008 and involved different women, according to newspaper archives.
Page worked for the city for six years and is eligible for $11,549 a year in retirement funds.
Ridley resigned in March citing personal reasons, but an EEOC complaint by a veteran county employee surfaced weeks after his resignation. The county employee later sued Ridley and Murray County, a lawsuit that was settled out of court in November.
An eBossWatch panel of workplace experts selected and ranked the worst bosses from across the country, according to a news release from eBossWatch.
To date, the 2011 America’s Worst Bosses have cost their employers more than $145 million in monetary damages and lawsuit settlement payments, the release said.
Another achievement for the Littlfield administration!
That's quite an accomplishment. The Chattanooga metro area is 97th in population yet they have 2% of the bad bosses.
What does an entire administration has to do with one man's bad decisions? You're in the wrong story if you're looking to attack teh mayor.
Lr103. Do you even know the Paul Page story? I suspect you don't. Do some research.
I know Paul Pages work history with both Chattanooga and the the City of Ft. Oglethorpe. That mans needs to be put in prison and the keys thrown away. But no, the City of Chattanooga lets him retire and gives him 11,000.00 dollars a year for being a worthless boss at the city of Chattanooga. Who else to blame buut that wonderful man we know as Ron Littlefield. Look into his history an see the grave yard that he has left behind.
It is interesting how silent Ron Littlefield is about this matter. What a bozo.
I'd like to see a Worst Builder list. I would bet that the monetary damages would top the ones quoted here.
Lr103 , Ron Littlefiled's administration of city government (in which Paul Page was a major player) has everything to do with this story. You are in the wrong story if you are looking to defend the mayor.
It is good that a person's only alternative to someone like these two would be to leave. This is what happens when you vote away what little power you may have once had. The old saying "ignorance is bliss" would apply here. For every action there is a reaction. When you vote in the GOP, this is what you get. This is all you deserve.
terrybham?
