SALINE CO.—Well, that didn’t take long.
Goofyass Bill Peyton
I’m talking about a well-known guy, of course, who lives in a fancy house with a high-end mortgage and is constantly being shoved up the ladder to his next job, a la the “Peter Principle”…that would be none other than William “Bill” Peyton.
Peyton, who has more traffic tickets than Carter’s has little liver pills (most of his tickets are for speeding) continues to advance, even though, true to the Peter Principle, he is largely incompetent at everything he attempts (the Peter Principle regards “an observation that in an organizational hierarchy, every employee will rise or get promoted to his or her level of incompetence. The Peter Principle is based on the notion that employees will get promoted as long as they are competent, but at some point will fail to get promoted beyond a certain job because it has become too challenging for them. Employees rise to their level of incompetence and stay there. Over time, every position in the hierarchy will be filled by someone who is not competent enough to carry out his or her new duties.”)
Peyton’s “company,” in this case, is the State of Illinois, in which he is constantly getting hired, then fired, from one teat job after another….and now, it appears that his latest job is on the line as well: that of WARDEN at the Illinois Youth Center in Harrisburg.
We wrote about this a couple of papers ago, and featured him prominently online prior to publishing that print version. We opined that, due to his track record with previous employment at locations such as Egyptian Health Department, DCFS, and Big Muddy Prison in Ina—and the reasons he was forced to leave those facilities—he wouldn’t last long at IYC either, and may even go out in a blaze of glory.
We don’t know for sure about the blaze of glory part (previous employment has ended because Peyton can’t keep his hands off female co-workers, nor his comments to himself) in this case, but the employment, if it is indeed in danger, is certainly brief under the circumstances. It’s our understanding that Peyton has currently pissed off several folks who work at IYC, to the point that there is serious discussion about severing his employment there.
Of course, this is bad news for the Phelps clan, who are solely responsible for getting Peter…er, Peyton, all his state-funded jobs, as, if he were in the private sector, he wouldn’t last but a matter of days before being fired (and possibly being charged, for possible sexual harassment, as was the case of a documented EEOC complaint while he was at EHD several years back). Fortunately for Peyton and the Phelpses, there is an unending number of state teat jobs they can stick him into, even if he irretrievably screws this one up. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we’re the ones stuck with the tab, as all of this comes out of our tax dollars.
We opined in the previous issue that Peyton was a walking lawsuit waiting to happen around all those kids at IYC; we’ll see if that’s the reason why he’s out if he gets kicked out….and we’ll keep you posted on the next job of Bill Peyton’s that YOU’RE funding.
