So then why did he appoint people who would recommend this?
City Council is all elected, not appointed.
I think the person you’re replying to was responding to this bit from the article:
The fuck do you expect me to do. I can’t read
Basically the city council is catching up on backlog and the last two mayors had a mandate to convene a pay commission and failed to do so. Mamdani and the person who led the commission both declined the raise but moved it forward. I honestly think they’re trying to clean up house and a pay raise after 10 years isn’t crazy. This comes after they already addressed the budget deficit he inherited, passed the luxury second home tax and cut out almost 2 billion dollars of expenses iirc.
When I got to leadership at work, the first year I reviewed the budget, interviewed employees for their long term career goals, helped make them annual goals to get there and quarterly coaching check ins. Recommended raises for everyone who was underpaid and or promotions for all who earned it or were already assuming the responsibilities without the title. Everyone got COLA and everyone got a bonus tied to kpi. I know public sector is different but a good leader makes sure people are taken care of. One of the most expensive cities in the world going 10 years without addressing the pay is crazy. Its all officials even city attorneys who could leave and make double at any corporate firm in ny
As far as I understand it, this is probably not a pay raise. The news says that it would be the first raise since 2016. If you look at the inflation of USA, you can see that $100 in 2016 are $138 today. So if you raise it by 18%, you have not even covered the inflation.
Bro, no common workers raises are meeting inflation rates.
I looked up their salaries and they seem plenty even by NYC standards. So a pay cut doesn’t seem like a big problem to me.
I’m open to hearing why this was needed but so far I haven’t seen a good reason for it.
Did you look up the policy around increasing salaries? Because I can guarantee you there’s a policy for civil servants that either pegs salaries to inflation or pegs it to comparable wages in similar positions.
So the people who he hired went to apply existing policy, and he said “no.” And they said “OK.”
All seems perfectly reasonable to me. Salaries need to keep up with inflation when there’s no disposable income. At his level, there’s already plenty of disposable income, and he’s independently wealthy.
Always one of you.
New York City council members are elected, not appointed, unless I’m missing the joke.
This was a recommendation from a commission which as I understand was appointed by Mamdani. Obviously he doesn’t have total control over them but it seems he would at least have a lot of influence.
Why would he try to influence them? Why go through the process of selecting a commission just to push them to make every decision like he would?
