and some of us... who do excellent work and like doing it, too...............and with far greater qualifications than her, I think, can’t get even interviews for jobs these days
this new economy is sure peculiar
Four years or so ago the Police Chief of SF General Hospital did a bunch of overtime and in ONE year made over a HALF A MILLION DOLLARS...!
His beat is one hospital..!
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Is she married to an Obama?
tip of iceberg
we prob learn about 00.1 % of the corruption in our country
heavy campaign contributor to Pelosi no doubt....
Another example of how Kalifornia is bankrupt. First, morally and second, financially. No one should pity the mess the state is in, they have only themselves to blame.
BART has been a corrupt enterprise since before it even went into operation. I was living in the Bay Area back in the ‘70s when it was launched. IIRC it had two fearfully expensive transit worker strikes long before the first train ever actually ran down the tracks. It’s a perfect example of government/union ineptitude.
I guess Kalifornia hasn't heard of the "use or lose" provision that federal workers have to deal with.
When these civil service workers work hand-in-hand with the politicos, and labor groups, the chain of responsibility and 'value for money' concepts get lost in the weeds. The larger the government structure, the easier it is to hide these gross improprieties, yet the libdiots are always in favor of an increasing government because they cannot bear the lack of support AND CONTROL!
Another RAH quote ..."There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him." [The Moon is A Harsh Mistress, 1966] - Obamacare?
OMG....Calif. is SO STUPID.
However, regarding payment for unused vacation time, I favor it.
Many people have lost vacation time because the demands of the job leave little time for vacation. Given that paid vacation is touted as a benefit by most companies for salaried people, that benefit should be paid.
I have worked nights, weekends, sometimes around the clock with no extra compensation & no complaints. I've slept on filing cabinets next to the monitor so I could hear an error warning beep. I've been called in from vacation & called while on vacation overseas for consultation.
I'd say I'm owed either my vacation time or being paid for it. If not, then I'll find a better job working for better people who pay for the benefits promised.
