Maybe she hasn't. People should be told the whole story and not half truths.<BR/><BR/>Mostly, the above questions are rule issues that should be addressed for the future. If paying her makes her go away quietly (which I would doubt), then indeed the City should pay her and everyone should move on. It was the issue of "negotiating her severence package" that had me up in arms a few weeks ago. Why should someone retiring have a severence package?<BR/><BR/>JoannaShopGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469404721780056879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805669.post-22516595997031719802008-07-07T11:59:00.000-07:002008-07-07T11:59:00.000-07:00I completely agree the Matier/Ross column was poin...I completely agree the Matier/Ross column was pointless and prejudicial. Those bennies are part of her job, of course she will be paid.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I doubt any lawsuit is going to be a winner, given that she is an at will employee and can be dismissed "at will", as it were.Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627791909856073542noreply@blogger.com
