Turkia Mullin fired by Wayne County Airport Authority

[Ravine]

I thought Turkia was her first name.

[Gannon]

According to someone's research, when she was growing up, it was Turkie.


I'm sure she'll blame the 'mean boys' for how she ended up...always teasing her about her name.


Cheers!

The Metro-Airport Authority did their right thing to prevent their reputation to fire Mrs. Mullin. She has no right to take any severance pay while change jobs. She will not getting more severance pay from Metro-Airport, too. She can hire the highest lawyers in the world, but she will have to pay what she had done. And its going to cost our Wayne County taxpayers over $700,000 just to shut her mouth. Please repent your sins Mrs. Mullin and move on with your life. God will use you to better things rather than serving money!

I'm sorry, it's hard to follow exactly what's going on here.

What ethical rule did she violate again? I remember she got some huge severance package - was it illegal for her to receive it or something?

I'm not defending her or any of her bosses or anything, but I see a lot of allegations and stuff, I don't see anyone saying "She violated Michigan law xxx part yyy" while doing her job.

I'm with you on that. What exactly did this woman do? She took a severance that was offered.

HER behavior in getting the severance is not the issue. The issues should be the behind the scenes stuff about why she got the job[[s) she wasn't qualified for and why the County gave her a severance [[either by contract or by a wink and a nod) from a job she voluntarily left.

As someone said above, if this whole things ends with her getting fired....then we should [[those of us in Wayne county anyway) just quit bitching about how fucked up and corrupt the county government is.

It's very simple. Two months ago. Mrs Tukia Mullin used to work for the big boss Robert "The wife cheater" Ficano. Mrs, Mullin accepted a as CEO of Metro-Airport. Somehow from some source from Wayne County Gov't [[ possibly from Ficano) offered Mrs. Mullin a severance check. But a serverance check on only meant for people who got fired. Mrs Mullin took the check and did whatever she want with it. [[ Servence checks from most county governments are collected from taxpayers like you.). Someone whistblowed the situation and alerted the FBI. They went to Wayne County Seat and issue warrants and supoenas. So far Ficano is the main suspect, but haven't been charged, yet. Most county gov't employees haven't been charged yet, but questioned. Later the Metro-Aiport Board of Directors fired Mrs. Mullen for unjustifiable use of government funds and violation of their code of ethics. The rest is history!

Severance is a payout when an employee leaves an organization, not only when they are fired or laid off. It can be for any reason - it's up to the employer. If her employer gave her a check, and she didn't extort or blackmail anyone into giving it to her [[she may have, but I haven't heard any evidence of that) what did she do wrong?

I heard that in the news today. What was the unjustifiable use of government funds bit again? The severance package she got? That's not up to her, that was up to her old boss. If she didn't get it under some kickback scheme or something [[again, she may have, but I haven't heard any evidence yet) why was she fired? What ethical code did she violate? Accepting a severance package? Is it up to employees to determine if their compensation is ethical or not?

Sorry, I still don't get it. Her employer gave her too much money - how is that her fault? Something more may be going on, but given the current evidence I don't see how it's more complicated than that.

In the U.S. the government's word serverance is a form of payment which a person get fired, not for other things. Let's put it into a clear understanding:

Sometimes, they may be offered for people who resign, regardless of the circumstances; or are fired Policies for severance packages are often found in a company's employee handbook, and in many countries are subject to strict government regulation. Severance contracts often stipulate that the employee will not sue the employer for wrongful dismissal or attempt to collect on unemployment benefits, and that if the employee does so, then they must return the severance money. Severance agreements are more than just a "thank you" payment from an employer. They could prevent an employee from working for a competitor and waive any right to possibly pursue a legal claim against the former employer. Also, an employee may be giving up the right to seek unemployment compensation. It is important to review a severance agreement carefully and contact an employment attorney to assist with the review. That is the U.S. Government term of the word severance pay not a corporate severance or other serverances.


Her employer offered Mrs. Mullen the check. She took it and didn't give it back. That's her decision. Mrs. Mullen was working for CEO of Detroit Metro-Airport that is competitor to other local airports in State of Michigan. That's a violation is U.S. Government severance payment policy! Now's she is paying the price and her reputation is ruined by moral decisions from the Board of Directors of Metro-Airport. What the FBI is looking for the link between some person in county gov't and the severance pay towards Mrs Mullin. How is the payment [[ from Wayne County taxpayers) was abused and what serious federal criminal charges when the perp is found. Mrs. Mullin would also be arrested for class one felony of larceny and extortion of U.S. government funds.
