Fun with Payroll files of LDOE (and related entities)

I was asked to research into why a number of people at LDOE are suddenly getting promotions. Apparently over the last few months a dozen or so jobs have popped up on the Civil Service job posting site with very narrow application time frames (less than a week). These postings say they are only accepting internal applicants. Within a short time frame new folks go to new jobs with decent raises while the rest of the department goes another year without raises. It was hypothesized that this was being done to secretly reward and situate folks before John White left.
. . . last Friday LDOE posted a buttload; about 8. This is the most simultaneous postings I remember seeing. These are all higher ranking classified positions (mostly EPC 5s) on the Civil Service website. In fact one was posted Thursday and expires tomorrow at noon. These are mostly promotional so not open to external applicants. They were posted with only 5 calendar days (including the 2 weekend days) to apply. This was done to promote people internally – many of whom were recently brought in by this regime. Looks like 1 or 2 are being promoted but doing the same work, but most of them are (EVEN MORE) brand new management positions.
And they continue to make jobs for their friends in the reform business. We can’t get a raise and they continue to make jobs for some. There is another reorg in motion with more (I think) than the allowed number of assistant supes. And yes there are interns all over. They even plan to have get togethers for them- I guess to brainwash. We’ve have a different one each year for the past 4 years.
I did not expect LDOE to be particularly forthcoming on furnishing me details about what was going on so I requested some payroll files for this year and last year from Civil Service. Those are public records and various local newspapers request and post salaries for all state workers from Fun with Payroll files of LDOE (and related entities) | Crazy Crawfish's Blog:
