That’s because they are spending monies paying city manager severance pay packages and retirement and working out their bubba deals……surely we should raise taxes to give the elected officials more too!
Deplorable! Pathetic! Unfair! Rectify immediately. No one living in
K.W. should be making under the market rate, what with our cost of living so much higher than elsewhere.
HOWEVER, rather than an across-the-board upgrade, I would love instead to see merit raises, tied to improvement in productivity for those workers who need to improve.. How ’bout some time studies or efficiency studies? In 20 years here I have all too often seen huge time sinks like people doing little or nothing, or two people on a 1-person-task, or even 1 person with 2 watching over the shoulders of the 1 working – this in spite of the fact that the City eliminated 58 of 518 jobs in 08-,-09, and ’10.
AND, BELIEVE ME IT’S JUST AS BAD, IF NOT WORSE, IN THE BLUE COLLAR SECTION. jUST ASK THE EMPLOYEES THEMELVES IF THEY FEEL THEIR CO-WOKERS ARE ALL AS PRODUCTIVE AND EFFICIENT AS THEY ARE THEMSELVES.
