Heads Hung Low

pink slipDo you have a friend on the third floor who wants to keep their job?

Well, if they seem a bit down there is a reason. The mighty axe fell today, and the word came down as to who stays and who needs to visit monster.com.

At first glance, it appears that the actual cogs in the machine that do the real work get to stay. The wonks, jocks, appointees, and freeloaders got the ol' pink slip and a pat on the back. Turns out they jumped on the wrong ship.

While I hate to see LA's unemployment figures rise, I have to say, they had to know this was coming.

It will be very interesting to see if anyone will pick up so many of the incompetent Hahn staff members. Who would ever want to hire Tim McCosker? It is my understanding he has not helped one of his staff members get a job. Not even Nathalie Rayes, Gil's girlfiend who pretended to be his friend while she badmouthed him. He claims he has "lots of offers" but I don't believe it for a second! He was an arrogant, unimpressive, and insecure person. Why did Jim Hahn ever place any trust in him?

A lot of ugly bitter boys who want to rag on Nathalie because she'd never date them. Shit, she and Antonio made up and are acting like adults. See if you AVistas (who shouldn't be throwing stones) can at least follow your own boss and avoid being mysoginistic can't-get-a-date-with-your-mother losers. She's going to have a very successful career on her own merits.

Take it from me, a woman who once had the displeasure of working with Ms. Reyes, she is rude and incompetent, and the only thing she has going for her is her relationship with Cedillo and her looks. I hope she uses both to her greatest advantage because she sure will need them.

Nathalie is no lady. Some folks may think she is good looking. But, on the inside she is a very bad and ugly human being. She is very imature and insecure. I too have worked with her and can honestly tell you that she is a bad person. She is a person that only cares about herself and getting ahead at any cost. Even if that means dating or engaging in unprofessional and ladylike behavior. She is not loyal or faithful to Gil. Poor Gil. She has been other men while she has been with him. She is not loyal to her friends. When she drinks she is uglier than she is sober. The sad thing is that she actually thiks that everyone likes her. It is a good that she is packing her bags. I hope that all the evil and bad things she did come back to haunt her. SHE IS A BAD AND HARMFUL PERSON! MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.

Arthuro Chavez is running. Sounds like some very mean, jealous bitter women posting mean things about Natalie. Whenever a woman has to stoop that low to attack another woman it is out of pure jealousy. Sounds like they've been burned by men too much. Get over it and move on.

I have to laugh at all the posters who are making negative comments about Nathalie. If you can't spell her name correctly, my guess is that you didn't have the access to her that you think (or wish) you had. (Probably because you are a low-level staffer -- the poor grammar suggests incompetence and inexperience.) Perhaps that is where your bitterness and hostility are coming from??? And another thing to burst your bubble -- Nathalie does not read this blog, so if you really want her to know how you feel, grow some balls and make these nasty comments to her face.

From time to time, the realization has come to me that Mayor Sam hates any mention of Antonio Villaraigosa and Jennie Carron Lacey are an item.

corina and Antonio are in agreement to this mess.

I hope that MEAV does not keep the incompetent secretaries that worked for Mayor Hahn and his deputies. Most, if not all are incompetent. You are only as good as your assistant and if he can't find anyone better than the leftovers of the 3rd floor he will maintain the same title Hahn had as a man with incompetent staff. For his sake, he needs to look within the city for the better and the brighter.

No reverse psych intended, just the truth. Hahn's support staff were the topic of discussion among many of us who are constantly called upon for answers to their questions. At that level, one should be familiar with what department provides what services. While I'm sure most people are concerned with who the deputies will be, a bigger concern is who will actually be doing the work.

Gil has always been a gentleman. Nathalie has become a prominent woman in her own right. We haven't seen the last of her.

Many of us are so proud of Cynthia and where she is today.

Arturo is Gils' gem and confidant!! He is definitely going places.
