We have talked with employees of Prince George's County Government and contrary to popular belief -- these public servants want to serve its clients --the public -- but desperately seek leadership and direction from their managers and supervisors -- not ridicule, attitude and disrespect. They said they also would like to be at least "on par" with the rest of the surrounding jurisdictions, including the Federal Government with innovative work policies as "Alternate Work Schedules" and "Telecomute" policies and maybe even some "job sharing". What they "don't get" is that managers and supervisors are under the impression that just because they are physically in place at 8:30 in the morning -- that this equals to productivity. They also said its not just about "more money" it's about showing respect and appreciation for them as highly qualified professionals. More than once they indicated that this was not the case "behind the walls" of the County government and because of the tough economic times they were afraid of being harassed by their supervisors if they complained or being labeled a "disgruntled employee".
Come on "Baker Administration" Concerned Prince Georgians know you can do better than this in your quest to make a "Good County Great"! It is going to take a concerted effort of all Concerned Citizens including County employees to tackle the many problems of our Great County and ignoring the concerns vs. recruiting the efforts of 6,000 people won't get you there.

I had to go SEARCHING (for something else) to find this blog. Please get this out there to the front so PG residents and employees CAN speak up and begin to make a difference. I work in the County Courthouse and it is all true. No training, no appreciation. Ridicule, harassment, attitude! "you better be glad you have a job" is the motto. Terribly underpaid and overworked. The Courthouse is large and extremely busy. We should be getting federal level pay and "perks". So if it seems we have a bad attitude at the Courthouse it's because it's so ugly behind that curtain and the leadership is corrupt and terrible. Employees walk around like beat down slaves behind the walls, counting down the years until retirement. "just six more years" "just 3 more years" it's aweful!!!!! Please get the fraud Marilynn Bland and "Dr. David J. Billings, III" out!!! They have NO COURT EXPERIENCE and are only using the Clerk's Office as a stepping stone. And that's not even his real name!! What's he hiding????
