PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Lori Ortolano 41 Berkeley Street. | wanted to address some of the comments raised at the Ward
Meetings, at the Town Meetings, last week. The big issue that stuck on my mind was the Mayor spoke
with some passion about the demoralizing nature of the investigative report that was done. He had
heard from departments outside of assessing and received a number of comments from | think probably
management that said it was very demoralizing and it was a real morale killer to the offices. | have a
pretty different view of that and what is demoralizing really when you have a situation like what has
happened in the assessing office. | will relate it to my very early career when | became an engineer 35
years ago in a field that was pretty much male dominated. | got a job in a company down south and |
was very motivated, | had graduated from WPI and had done really well in my field and enjoyed it. | got
assigned to a job with a project engineer that was 5 years older than me. Busy job, big deadlines and
required some overtime and very early on it was very apparent that the older engineer was not a worker.
