Pardon our French.But seriously... we have had just about enough of this whining.
Who's whining now?
Well...since you asked...we're hearing that the Administrative Support staff are not happy with the package presented to them last night:
- 1% pay raise
- pay 1% more towards the cost of health insurance premiums
- pay 2% more towards the cost of dental insurance premiums
We guess that, seeing that the district just received $1.75M from the feds, they believed that the candy store was back open for business. Someone...a spokesperson for the group?...noted that the lowliest staffer will only receive a net $0.04 to $0.10 hourly increase.
An astute reader pointed out to us that the Admin Support staff ALSO gained a furlough day back AND get an increase that relates to where they fit on the "grid".
DOUBLE Boo Frick'n Hoo!
Again...BOO FRICK'N HOO! Many people saw either NO increase or had their wages cut, or lost their jobs!!!! What makes school district employees so damn special?
Welcome to the recession, folks. Under the dome under which the school district seems to reside, things may be rosy. But, for the rest of us, here in the real world, not so much.
Be happy you are employed....others aren't so lucky.
Be happy that you are actually getting a raise...many others got no raise and furlough days.
Be happy that you aren't having to pay as much towards healthcare as state employees or (heaven forbid) Local 60 staff.
These are the same people that received a very nice new pay grid LAST SUMMER.Click here to see the salary grid...see if YOU think they are underpaid.
When is the sense of entitlement that runs rampant through this district going to end?
Maybe Y'all Can Keep These in Mind
Do you people not read the papers?
Have you ANY clue as to the state of the economy?
