I do have to give Commissioner Evans Harding credit for being a skilled author. As much as I initially disagreed with her tactic, my first read through gave me the impression that Ms. Gibboney had done something wrong. After a second reading I realized how unimportant this big issue really was. What Commissioner Evans Harding promotes as the crime of the century is ultimately a subordinate going into a confidential meeting with her supervisors and stating that she disagrees with the ratings on her annual review. That's all this is about. Somebody thinking they can talk candidly in a private meeting and stating they think they performed better than the supervisor's annual review rating shows. I've supervised staff for over 20 years and I've never been offended when a staff member came to me and said they thought they performed better than I rated them on the annual review. Some were able to convince me that I should rate them higher, most were given an honest explanation of why I wasn't going to change the rating. None of them offended me by questioning by rating. Ms. Gibboneys major offense in Commissioner Evans Harding's eyes was that she disagreed with the rating and wanted it revised up. A real lead would either change it or explain why they weren't going to change it. Commissioner Evans Harding decided to be offended that her rating was questioned. Rather than resolve it like a professional, she found a loop hole in the executive meeting rules, exploited Ms. Gibboney's trust, and back stabbed her with this article. Yes, Evans Harding found a loop hole that means she didn't break any laws, but she broke everybody's trust by not following the intent of the laws. Going forward who can trust Commissioner Evans Harding to do the right thing. If Ms. Gibboney leaves or is fired, what high quality person would apply to the job knowing Commissioner Evans Harding is there just waiting to double cross you, to take a legally created confidential meeting and tell the public about it so she can make you look bad and you have to chance to speak back. She threw away her ability to be trusted over an annual review rating that wouldn't have been changed if the Commissioners didn't think it should be changed. Amy, do yourself and all of us a favor and resign now.
