ACS Management Threatens Employees Who Visit FWP?

Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 8/29/08 @ 11:14 am - Filed Under Local Politics

Got a tip today that ACS management was outraged over the chatter in a related post here at FWP and warned all employees that they would be monitoring and/or blocking traffic to this site.

Just to reiterate a point to city and county employees and contractors. I will never out anyone who sends a tip or posts anonymously on this blog. Protection for whistle-blowers is vital to discourage corruption and improve the return on our taxpayers’ investment.

The citizens rely on a free press to inform them about the inner workings of their government and that info comes from first-person accounts - not press releases. In my experience those attempting to stem the free flow of information always have the most to hide…

    Any ACS employee that wants to get to any blog without being caught, can go to http://www.proxy.org and get to any site without management knowing.

    I am a former ACS employee. I worked for the company for 16 years. I truely think the lack of leadership is the cause for ACS’s demise.

    Most of the people who work at the local site are hard working people….there are still a few bad apples there…for what ever reason…still have their jobs.

    Even though I have not worked in the City/County Building for more than 2 years, I still feel a loyality to the client I served.

    It is my hope that the new company coming in finally cleans house of those bad apples and gives the City/County the service they really deserve.

    You know I don’t know this Branton guy but he seems to have a lot of people upset with him. Perhaps that’s the life of a manager…

    Former ACS state health care employee.
    These people inovative soultions are slash and burn. I started with Cons Consultec. A company with twenty years of proven results and excellent reputation. Acs Purchased the company and greatly reduced greatly redudced the staff. ACS bid on every state contract. They bosted their twenty years of state health. The fact remaon the internetins that all of the experience staff was layed off. Acs has lost most of the prior state contracts. Acs was caught red handed By Georgia state sending out unencripted person health information. A search
