Comments on: Legislative Staffers Get 42% Of All Bonuses https://boiseguardian.com/2011/06/17/legislative-staffers-get-42-of-all-bonuses/ A different slant on the news.

I know of a State of Idaho agency that turned back $60,000.00 to the legislature from the general fund as a misguided way to curry favor, again cooked up by a narcisstic director and fiscal officer. No one got raises, bonuses and staff has been cut to the bone. They had bee told all year that there was no money to do anything.
The only time a state job is worth it is in an economic downturn. Then everyone thinks you’re lucky.

How can they possibly justify this when other state employees have not seen anything for the last 3.5 years.

sector for my job, pay is 20K-25K per year more. I am ways looking for a place to go, due to the fact working for the county is unrewarding, and under paid. So bitch all you want, you all have it good.

Bonuses right……..

I always thought bonus payments were related to just how brown an employee’s nose got over the course of they year. In very few instances did I ever see a bonus paid to someone who came up with a really good cost savings plan or idea. These folks usually got a certificate and perhaps a gift card of less than $100 for their efforts.

Both however, have been excellent learning experiences that stretched my abilities, with great co-workers and bosses.

The disgusting sense of entitlement that these people have. They all ready make more than private sector employees in comparable positions. They have no idea what it’s really like to have to struggle.
