  • Former San Bernardino County HR Director Brought in 3 Former Esri Colleagues
    8/7/2017 Former San Bernardino County HR director brought in 3 former Esri colleagues San Bernardino County Sun (http://www.sbsun.com) Former San Bernardino County HR director brought in 3 former Esri colleagues By Joe Nelson, The Sun Friday, August 4, 2017 During her brief stint as San Bernardino County’s human resources director, Cindi Peterson Tompkins hired three of her former colleagues from Esri in Redlands for top management positions at salaries topping $100,000. Tompkins resigned Monday, July 31. The county would not say whether she provided a reason for her resignation or submitted a resignation letter, saying the information was confidential. She received a salary of $197,850. Tompkins’ management style and hiring practices prompted more than half a dozen employee complaints to the Board of Supervisors during her nine months as HR director, top county officials said. Since beginning her job on Oct. 31, 2016, Tompkins hired Esri’s former senior manager of global operations and enablement, Joey Kolasinsky, as her division chief. Her annual salary and benefits is $186,341, county spokesman David Wert said in an email. Tompkins also hired Kathryn Hagerman, a former manager of sales enablement and operations at Esri, and Jesse Theodore, Esri’s former marketing content manager, for section manager positions with annual salary and benefits totaling $168,593 and $168,403, respectively, Wert said in an email. “An employee’s specific job duties are defined by the appointing authority, and the appointing authority has discretion to determine whether an employee or applicant has the experience, skills and/or potential to perform those specific duties,” Wert said.
