Like boss like employee. This is a snap shot of the Clerk-Recorder Department’s crack purchasing agent XXXXXXXXXXX XXXX. There is a saying that a team is as strong as its weakest team member and this appears to be the truth in this case. What kind of a shop is Tom Daly running here? From the looks of things Tom Daly expects his campaign for the 69th Assembly District to be a breeze.
The problem with this photo is that it is a reflection of Tom Daly’s inability to make a sound decision. In 2009, the County’s Head Purchasing Agent Ron Vienna conducted an audit of the Clerk-Recorder Department’s purchasing practices. The audit, which you can read about here, exposed Tom Daly’s inability to follow county purchasing policy. On twelve separate incidents, it was found that Tom Daly skirted county policy and showed no regret or concern over it. His department concurred with all the findings and listed several remedial actions the department would take.
There are obvious ways to save taxpayer dollars. But, to the taxpayer’s dismay, sleeping beauty here was the purchasing agent during the time of the audit. You would think that Tom Daly would have fired or severely disciplined this individual for his incompetence. However, Tom Daly opted to leave this person in a lesser position to answer the department phones and examine documents.
County records obtained by the Orange County Register show that sleeping beauty here is still costing tax payers $49,571 a year and is still getting paid as a Buyer II, a position he hasn’t held for two years. This is a salary way above that salary of the duties he is currently performing and I’m sure it is more than anyone gets paid for to allegedly sleep at work! If Tom Daly doesn’t make his employees accountable then who is going to make Tom Daly accountable for his bad decisions if he goes to Sacramento?
Do you want to send this sleeping beauty’s boss to Sacramento? Who in the world would tolerate this behavior in the real world? I guess Tom has never had a private sector job so he doesn’t know better. At the end of the day, Tom Daly has no regard for how taxpayer’s money is spent. Maybe this is a department benefit or Tom’s stimulus plan when he gets to Sacramento – cash for naps. Or maybe this guy has some dirt on Daly, or his assistant Renee Ramirez…

The guy in the pictyure is always sleeping at work. He is very lazy and his attendance is terrible. This guy comes to work drunk everyday. He is wasting taxpayers money. Everyone should be upset that XXXXX XXXX is getting big bucks for doing nothing at work.
Renee Ramirez is protecting him because he uses to buy Renee Ramirez personal items to take home for her house and charged it to the County. I hear that they have proof of the purchases that he made for Renee Ramirez.
How can you work him out of class for over two years and he is still getting paid like he is a Buyer II. This is unfair for the rest of us.
The OC Register needs to investigate these issues!
This is embarrassing for the County.
I have been a document examiner for over 5yrs and this guy makes more money than I do. He is so lazy at work. Also when he does come to work he is either drunk or dozing off at work. His eyes always looks like bloodshot in the morning. He is always dissappearing from his desk. He is always hanging out with his girlfriend XXXXXX XXXXXXX during working hours. She is a supervisor abusing her power to proctect her boyfriend. XXXXX XXXX tells us he is protected by Renee Ramirez because he has dirt on her and she is afraid of him.
Can the Board of Supervisors please investigate this guy working out of class for over two years and him being drunk at work?
This guy is redicoulus! As a matter of fact everyone at Daly's office is ridicoulus. His employees act like a bunch of high school children. Just go back and read prevoius posts and see for yourselves the garbage that comes out this office. Seems to me like everyone should concentrate on working and stop worrying about what other people are doing or saying.
Clearly, it doesn't matter what your capabilities and weakness are in OC politics. People will blindly support whomever they support.
Another Website dedicated a smear piece to bashing martinez website????
Another focused on Julio's weight.
Rather than evaluate a canidates strengths and weakness, foolish party followers promote people like Clerk-Recorder Daly, simply because he has a D next to his name.
This is a galring examle with whats wrong with my party, we have become as bad as the Republican's.
How about a real debate, not about websites or diets, about the constituents. This district is in great need of leadership.
POOR LEADERSHIP!
That is the problem here, the mid level managers run this place. I have worked her for YEARS, have rarely (like 5-7) time seen the Clerk-Recorder.
I feel like I am in high school: "Tom has visitors tommorrow, dress nice". WTF. I am fifty and here to work, not F*^K.
This place is a mess. TOM DALY IS NOT A LEADER.
@ Justice WTH is wrong with you. I work my butt off everyday and to see this idiot XXXXX XXXX sleeping and walking around all day and I should mind my own business and keep my mouth shut. @ Justice it will never happen. This idiot is wasting taxpayers money and he is working out of class and he is over paid.
I have the right to express my concerns. We need to get rid of Tom Daly , Renee Ramirez and XXXXX XXXX.
The Board of Supervisors should do there job and investigate these issues.
County employees should not come to work drunk or high.
Didn't the County audit HR for working out of class and illegal raises. If so why is this guy abusing the County rules.
The problem here is that Tom lets his troll Renee run the office, he dosen't want to be bother with anything. He is bearly in the office and when he is there,he is only there for one or two hours at the most and he leaves because he is busy campaining for this other position his hrs of operation are from 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon to 3:30 or 4:00. And he opens the back door to pretend he has been there all day like the rest of us. And that's why he is not even aware of what's going on in his own office. We hope he wins Solorio's sit and LEAVES! We don't care if he goes to Sacramento or China we just want him OUT!!!!! And do all of us a favor take your pet Renee with you.
To everyone complaining on this blog about the loser in question. Have you said anything to your supervisors? Is he or she aware of what goes on? Have you ever spoken up or said "Hey this guy strolls in whenever his drunk ass feels like it and yet if I come in 5 minutes late, I get a blue slip?" I think not. Why are you blogging about it? Who's going to listen to you here? If you want your voice to be heard then do something about it. If your HR or Admin people wont listen to you because they protect him; then go to your union representatives. If enough people did this then maybe you would see results. What are you so afraid of? They can't fire you. What is the worst they can do? Move you to a branch office or worse, the help desk.
