Nothing is going well with the agents of the city of Crépy-en-Valois. And more particularly within technical services. At least that’s what it says Pascal Fayolle. The latter was elected on the list led by Bruno Fortier. But since the re-elected outgoing mayor resigned, due to a problem with his campaign accounts, Pascal Fayolle has distanced himself from his former running mates. In the political columns of the municipal newsletter, it is indicated: Pascal Fayolle, municipal councilor who declared not to belong to the municipal majority. As such, he has the right to tribune of 1100 characters, which is not much… In the next bulletin, he will nevertheless use this space to alert the people of Crépy about the unhappiness of the agents of the city.
“According to the elected representatives of the majority, everything is fine when we talk to them about work as well as relations with municipal agents,” explains Pascal Fayolle. So, of course, there are many different sectors of activity within a municipality like ours and therefore, most certainly, a different feeling in each sector. However, when we take the trouble to go and meet them, the story is not the same.”
An open letter that will get people talking
And the chosen one to clarify his thoughts. “Following the last joint technical committee (CTP), an open letter from staff representatives at the CTP was published providing a very sad assessment of the situation and feelings.”
Pascal Fayolle, who was deputy for works and personnel, knows what he is talking about. Hence the advice he allows himself to give to the elected representatives of the municipal majority: “Do not hesitate to make constructive visits to the services for which you are responsible. This will facilitate cohesion between services and elected officials. And, what’s more, it will justify your compensation!”
Numerous difficulties in carrying out their missions
The open letter mentioned by Pascal Fayolle is addressed to all employees of the community. “Today, we are faced with many difficulties in carrying out our missions,” say its authors. Indeed, faced with the simplism of the explanations and the protective distance of the management team, hostility and resentment arise between the agents. Nothing is going well!”
According to the terms of this open letter, “human relations, if any still existed, have given way to a certain form of dictatorship which tends to increase accidents at work and can lead, in certain cases, to dramatic situations. . Even though our working conditions are deteriorating considerably and we are constantly told that we are in a situation of economic crisis, certain agents continue to benefit from significant privileges. Also senseless are the hiring of administrative staff in the management sector while the workload of certain services continues to increase!”
Any doubts about the competence of the agents?
For some of the staff, their daily life could be summed up as follows: no structuring project, no future prospects, professional burnout, ends of career which can be chaotic, reflecting stereotypes linked to age… The agents are also question competition with external companies. “Does this mean that city officials are incompetent?” ask staff representatives.
Pascal Fayolle’s column and the content of this open letter will undoubtedly not go unanswered…
