Thapar: Quesnel City Staff paid too much $$$

In today's Quesnel Cariboo Observer - Quesnel Councillor Sushil Thapar complains that senior City Staff in Quesnel have been paid too much money since 2009 and since then, there has been a decrease in the tax base and infrastructure funding needs have not gone down

More on that here

HR issues are ones that can't be just hung on dollars and cents.  They are more complex then that, especially so for "Exempt" Staff who are folks like a Regional District or Municipal CAO (Chief Administrative Officer) and Department Heads (Managers/Directors)

Local government will always struggle between ability to pay vs wanting to hang on to highly qualified and talented Staff...

Thapar is right.....the new responsibilities are just shuffling the deck chairs. The total envelop of admin work hasn't grown. Bolton bad taken some of Johnstons work. Turner has taken some of Johnstons work. Coo.be has taken some of Johnstons work. Nordin has taken some of Coombs work. Bolton bad taken so.e of HRs work. Its just a big circle shuffle and who gets to pay?
