If the boss is dishonest? The just prior Palm Harbor Library Director, Lou Paolilli, was forced out by a group of staff and volunteers because he bullied a staff member. I was not a volunteer at that time. Did use the Library back then as a person with a library card.
Northpinellas: Library gets new director
Quote:
Coppola's selection last week by the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency brings closure to the controversial resignation of the last director, Lou Paolilli.
Paolilli was criticized after firing a 76-year-old employee who worked in the children's section.
On Dec. 2, Carol Cannella, a 10-year employee, was drinking a cup of coffee in the library break room 15 minutes before she was due to begin work when Paolilli asked her to report to her station.
When Cannella said she wanted to finish her coffee first, Paolilli fired her and ordered her off the property. He called sheriff's deputies and told them that Cannella was a former employee who was trespassing at the library.
About a half-dozen employees resigned in protest over Cannella's treatment.
Paolilli stepped down in early February, saying he was leaving for personal reasons. Coppola, currently the branch manager at the Land O'Lakes Library, said he was aware of the Paolilli situation but did not want to discuss it.
"All I can say is that different managers have a different way of handling situations," he said.

This a public library which is paid for by tax dollars from the people in that community not a private company of some company on the stock exchange.
And in 2004, I was no longer a volunteer at either of the Palm Harbor nor the East Lake Community Library. I had quit doing this from both.
There is a lot more to the Paolilli mess than what is in the paper but I no longer have all those details.
