Written agreements come handy sometimes. This should not be any different in the public sector. I think our Mayor should visit our local library to do some reading on leadership, he definitely needs it, and since he exhausted good chunk of money on CAO, library is his only option.

There are employees (the CAO is an employee) taking courses or going to conferences/semiinars all of the time to "better themselves" and then find better opportunities elsewhere. Why should the CAO be any different? If an employee isgoing to take a course, their expectation is that their new and improved skills should be recognized - be it through salary increase or responsibility increase. The employer is investing in the employee. If they fail to take advantage of that estimate, they deserve what they get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-89034674657618308312015-07-06T12:23:30.670-05:002015-07-06T12:23:30.670-05:00Good grief, I sure hope you are wrong.
