Page 6 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 7, 2022 RESNEK | FROM PAGE 5 his help, but in Alcy’s case, it was clear she was using Resnek’s formula for writing lies and fabrications to help what she hoped would be the start of her political career. Following Alcy’s resignation from her City of Everett job, she stated in her sworn testimony, she sought out Resnek to write an article about her candidacy for an at-large city council seat. Resnek soon published a story about her resignation, claiming in the headline that she resigned due to a toxic work environment and being passed over for advancement. Alcy had applied for various positions at the City of Everett, including, in 2019, Economic Development Planner; Human Resources Associate Director, and in 2017, Assistant City Clerk, despite having little pertinent experience or educational background. The irony of her feigning ignorance to the law in providing communications to the mayor’s attorneys is that Alcy, according to her resume, holds an associate’s degree in legal studies from North Shore Community College – studying fi ling litigation – and had spent a year working at a Boston law fi rm fi ling litigation. She claimed in the newspaper article that the positions were given to “less qualifi ed candidates” and she was passed over for “no apparent reason.” She also stated in the story that she applied for a job at Encore Boston Harbor – only to claim that she wasn’t hired due to the mayor retaliating against her. Alcy claimed that she had no knowledge of any reprimands from city department heads, including Human Resources, for insubordination and intentionally failing to comply with procedures set forth by the department, according to a March 2018 written reprimand from Chad Luongo, director of Constituent Services/311. But one has to wonder the magnitude of her sense of entitlement given her downward spiral as an employee for the City of Everett when Alcy was reprimanded for her actions when she was found assisting residents inside the Constituent Services Offi ce instead of at the counter or on the phone. The letter stated that Alcy replied with a heated response to her boss. When Constituent Services employees were asked to log in phone calls from residents during a power outage following a snowstorm, employees were asked to call back residents to ask if their power had been restored. It was discovered that Alcy failed to write down the concerned residents’ phone numbers who had called in to Constituent Services. According to the letter, Alcy told her boss that calling them back was not necessary as “they know their lights are back on.” When asked why she failed to follow directions, the letter stated, Alcy became distracted by Facebook and began talking to another employee, ignoring her supervisor. Alcy claimed she never saw the reprimand letter that was addressed to her home and was never informed of the disciplinary actions facing her. “I never requested to be in 311,” Alcy stated in her testimony.

When he asked Alcy to take the information down, she “insubordinately” stated to him in a raised voice, “I work for the Mayor’s offi ce only!” in front of a staff member. When confronted with her rude behavior, Alcy stated to Pesce, “What’s the big deal, you don’t do anything anyway.” Pesce stated that she demanded an apology from him but he refused. In July, Alcy asked for a position on the board of the Everett Community Foundation but was told that the seven spots were fi lled and that the State Ethics Commission advised against appointing City of Everett employees as it could cause confl ict of interest issues, so no City of Everett employees were appointed. By Sept. 18, Alcy would receive a communication from the city’s director of Human Resources, Lara Wehbe Ammouri, Esq. with respect to a meeting with the director and Alcy’s disregard for her job (logging in residents’ The 4th calls) as well as her request to be moved out of Constituent Services. The director, in her letter to Alcy, expresses her disappointment about a bizarre text she received where Alcy stated, “I logged into QAlert the 2 hours I had to sit in your offi ce telling me I’m not a good employee.” The lawyer stated in several questions, “And then she says – then the head of human resources says to you in this e-mail, ‘I would also like to reiterate that you are being insubordinate by refusing to log all calls into QAlert’; right? …. Your direct supervisor has put you on notice of this requirement several times and you admitted [Simultaneous talking]. “I am more than happy to work with you on finding a better fi t or expanding your skill set,” stated Ammouri. “However, it is crucial that you are performing all of your job duties and tasks assigned by your supervisor and that you act in a professional manner when addressing your coworkers.” RESNEK | SEE PAGE 9 annual Everett Community Art Walk is open it’s offi cial!
