When times are flush and guys are bidding carry-over and/or picking up draft galore making well north of 98 hrs/month will you come out that the MEC officers should get an override to make them whole? Good God, THIS is what you are worried about? "He's making more than me!" Well waaaa waaaa waaaa, news flash - somebody is always going to make more than you. They are making what we have in writing that they will make. Period. Dot. Move on.
Not moving on. I don't care if someone is making more than me. I think it is **** poor leadership to keep your higher paycheck, while the people you are leading start suffering. Also, lower BLGs = lower dues income. Some of these guys are taking FPL plus stipends (which is not what they were designed for) and making considerably (140+ hours per month!) more than they would be on the line. So how does that work out for our budget? There is no leadership right now, just an empty suit collecting a ton of our dues money. We get nothing but a multi-page letter that says jack squat. Sounded like a chat-GPT written MBA project. So no, not moving on. Clearly I hit a nerve with you.
