Success for a returning citizen makes Chicagoland stronger... here's how... If you’re in the workforce and social services space you’re familiar with the phrase “returning citizen.” But if you're a Chicago area business this is important for you and your hiring. Who is a "returning citizen" and why does it matter to you?   They’ve served their time, left prison, and most often returned to the places that sent them to prison in the first place, and now they face barriers that continue to punish them for past mistakes.   When they ask about a job, they’re told the company doesn’t hire people like them. Or, when they apply for a chance to show they’re ready for a good job and to do good work, they don’t hear back. And we all can recite the price we all pay for this – the painful and preventable cycles of recidivism, reinforced racial disparity and injustice that divides our communities, and the troubling disquiet in real lives that discourages and robs us all of a better future.

No -- he doesn't. I reject this entire notion that a city manager must profess absolute devotion and loyalty to a city that can fire you on a whim. The City of Kansas City, MO needs to convince Brian Platt to stay long term. I don't know Platt, nor do I have any inside information. What I do know is that the City of Austin is going to be considered a top 5 destination for many city managers, if not the top destination. If you had an opportunity to play or coach for the Yankees... If you were being recruited by Google or Apple... ...of course you are going to consider it! There is no shame in testing the waters to see if the Austin opportunity might have been a realistic possibility. This is a resume capstone, if ever there was one. And frankly, there is no shame even if he was simply leveraging Austin to extract a stronger contract and better compensation in KC. This op-ed writer is seriously confused about the current market dynamics for city managers across the nation. It is thin. There is more demand for talented managers than there is supply -- for a variety of reasons. What Kansas City and any other elected official reading this post who value their current city manager should be thinking is: "What do we need to do to make sure our city manager is happy and content with their pay, benefits, and work environment?" ---- The City Manager RTRs & Job Board is my FREE newsletter that I publish on LinkedIn.
