Listening to the public work director talking about attracting new employees for the vacant positions available at the city, he said they apply, but they demand more salary than our city offers, then if the city hires them, they start out at more than the current employees, and the other employees resent those new employees. Well, I can certainly understand why! He mentioned some new ones coming in from Altamonte Springs. Since when do we allow people coming to apply for our city's jobs to demand, or dictate, what the city will pay? If that is the case, that's a problem too, adding to increased wages. Why did we do pay studies, with minimums and maximums for each job description, if we are allowing these newbie job seekers to boss us around, and hold us hostage for more $$$$$ than we allow for? That should stop! Tell them take it, or leave it, and keep advertising the positions until another qualified job seeker accepts the job for our salary offered. I noticed the public work director laughed at some things, but really it is no laughing matter.
