The officials responsible for enforcing Oregon state government’s HR rules were themselves found to have violated those rules.

An independent personnel investigation substantiated or partially substantiated six categories of findings involving Kyle Weraky, then administrator of Oregon’s Classification and Compensation unit:

Manipulating state recruitment processes.

Improperly denying an employee’s disability-accommodation request to work remotely.
Removing two employees’ “work-out-of-class pending reclassification” status, affecting their pay, partly over performance concerns that were not handled through proper performance-management procedures.

Inappropriately disciplining an employee using reports containing factual inaccuracies.

Speaking negatively or inappropriately about employees to nonsupervisory coworkers.

Failing to satisfy required conditions in one reviewed direct appointment.

These are especially serious findings because Weraky’s position concerned the very systems governing state hiring, classification and compensation.

This was not simply an employee-relations dispute—it was a failure by an HR control owner entrusted with protecting employees, enforcing fair processes and limiting organizational risk.

The investigation also substantiated findings involving former Chief Human Resources Officer Jessica Knieling, including:

Direct appointments that did not fully satisfy state HR requirements.

Bad-faith interference with a former employee’s effort to obtain a permanent Oregon Youth Authority position.

Directing the denial of the same disability-accommodation request without sufficient consideration of available remote-work technology.

Knieling was fired, while Weraky resigned. Knieling has disputed the investigation’s conclusions.

These are administrative personnel-investigation findings, not criminal convictions. But as an HR and compliance finding, the central problem is stark: senior officials charged with enforcing fair employment procedures were found to have disregarded those procedures themselves.

u/cronosupportsquad can I get help please? I put in a ticket. Without export this is useless to me :(

injury, grief, travel, but I can see the light. Boy do I wish I got into serious endurance training when I was younger and more resilient, less going on in life.

I live in Oregon and fully expected complete abstinence for a bucket list trip. As a non-alcohol enjoyer I was kinda bummed at the total lack of a buzz being available. I did drink a couple times but it’s not the same as you know.

After a quick study-up on current affairs I found myself high as a kite in Athens and Paris without dubious sources 🤯 Unfortunately Rome was a total bust, they made it all illegal.

Two nights of traveling and <4 hr sleep per night, two days of carbing up and sleeping on schedule as if my life depended on depended on it. the route went like this:

Vatican

Castel Sant Angelo

Spanish Steps

Trevi Fountain

Obelisco di Montecitorio

Pantheon

Piazza Navona

Curia of Pompey

Flavian Amphitheater 

Circus Maximus (did 3 “laps” here)

Vatican again then back to hotel

I got video of each site via detachable armband and using camera direct from lock screen. My only regret is not swinging closer by forum and trajans column.

I YOLO’d this run on attempt window #1 of only two windows available to even try. So glad I went for it and got video of each sight in passing, memories for a lifetime.
