San Antonio City Manager Sheryl Sculley Speechless

[to21]

She's great at her job and is worth every penny she ALREADY get's paid.

[CubanMustGo]

She's probably tired of hearing about her salary. She could walk tomorrow and double what she makes in private industry.

[gay abc]

saving the city $$$ is her part of her job in first place no? so she gets a nice raise for "doing" her job, i need to ask my boss for an increase just because i'm doing my job

BRB

[MannyIsGod]

I'm not the one staring blankly ahead.

You're also not the one collecting a 20k raise now are you?

[Hillary]

I hate to admit it......I'd hit it.

Something about those powerful women......

Do you think I'm sexy?

so when does she deserve a raise?

I am happy that you've opened yourself up to experiencing class warfare.

If you had the ablity to switch jobs and make a lot more elsewhere would you ask for a raise or not?

[MannyIsGod]

I am happy that you've opened yourself up to experiencing class warfare.

Numerically challenged warfare is more like it.

She's great at her job and is worth every penny she ALREADY get's paid.

if we don't give her a raise, someone else will. then we'll have problems attracting talent.

people suck at math, what else is new? however, I guarantee part of this is class.

Maybe there's some free agent CM out there we can get on the MLE.

Yeah without a doubt. People in San Antonio are generally poor, and all they see is 20k. But , even they should be able to subtract 20k from 30 million and see there's a of a lot leftover.

really? where?

she didnt really want to come here to begin with but in the end, she couldnt turn down the money that SA was throwing at her

[2centsworth]

Maybe there's some free agent CM out there we can get on the MLE.

for the highly compensated and talented, that's sort of how it works.

I guarantee you she receives phone calls from headhunters all of the time.

I know this from experience, and yes it feels good, and yes it felt like I was a FA.

[gay abc]

so when does she deserve a raise?

is she only one getting a raise?...just asking

and my boss said NO and be glad i have a job

[gay abc]

If you had the ablity to switch jobs and make a lot more elsewhere would you ask for a raise or not?

i've been in that situation, i went where the $$$ is, no brainer

[Blake]

You're also not the one collecting a 20k raise now are you?

I'm also not calling for civilian position hiring freezes and department budget responsibility while accepting a 20k raise.

[2centsworth]

is she only one getting a raise?...just asking

and my boss said NO and be glad i have a job

do you have another job waiting to pay you more? If not, you lack leverage.
You would do yourself well always having leverage in business relationships.

[MannyIsGod]

i've been in that situation, i went where the $$$ is, no brainer

Well there you go.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm also not calling for civilian position hiring freezes and department budget responsibility while accepting a 20k raise.

Well you're also not throwing down over Tim Duncan in the NBA.

What do the 2 have in common? You lack the skill for either.

30 million - 20k = A thread full of Blake's mathematical prowess

[Blake]

so when does she deserve a raise?

I guess right after announcing a hiring freeze is as good a time as any.

I know this from experience, and yes it feels good, and yes it felt like I was a FA.

If she's so good why stop at 20k why not 50k, 75k? The money is not the issue in my opinion. Like I said she's good at what she does and is worth what she currently makes.....I know she's saved the city millions.

All I'm saying is as a city leader asking for cut-backs and receiving a raise doesn't really set a great example.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Show her the money!!!!!

[Blake]

Well you're also not throwing down over Tim Duncan in the NBA.

30 million - 20k = A thread full of Blake's mathematical prowess

what does dunking over Tim Duncan have to do with this thread? I lack the mathematical prowess to figure that one out.
