MS CLARK'S POSITION WITH TRIMET WAS 

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS. 

SHE WAS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING THE PUBLIC'S PERCEPTION 

OF

MUD INTO CLEAN CLEAR WATER!

I see this 'move' as significantly DAMAGING for Trimet's Public Relations efforts in general but even MORE SO for those Executives remaining within the private structure of the hierarchy BECAUSE she's using SPIRITUALITY as her guiding force AND she's being public about it.  Sounds like she's searching for personal growth and healing.  Perhaps she's had a look in the mirror and didn't like what she saw. Clark's leaving is more significant then the others because the 'reason' she gives speaks MUCH LOUDER about Trimet and it's perception of itself within the Community then an actual loss to the Agency in terms of a PR person.

Went from $71,000 in 2011 to $51,000 in 2012. 

 From HR Lead Investigator to Compensation Analyst

I'm not aware of the circumstances which led to her leaving Trimet like who's decision it was.  There aren't enough words to describe her very deliberate personal attacks against me.  Vicious acts intended to destroy me.  I wonder if acting out as she did in her position with Trimet made her feel better about herself?!!  But that's what Bully's do. She told us she was taking orders, she did so willingly. "Now Ellen, now Ellen, now you know better than that, now Ellen!"

NEXT?

Mildred, hold the door open for those damn fools before they all end up hurting themselves!!!
