Reinstatement of the merit pay program for city and Greenville Utilities Commission employees was recommended by a committee on pay and benefits Tuesday afternoon.
The four-member body includes Mayor Pat Dunn, Councilwoman Rose Glover, GUC board Vice Chairwoman Julie Carlson and Commissioner Vickie Joyner. Carlson, Dunn and Joyner supported funding merit raises, which award a raise up to 5 percent based on performance evaluations. All raises must average 3 percent.
Glover opposed the recommendation. Via speakerphone, she repeatedly said merit pay is unfair, and an “across-the-board” increase is needed after two years without either merit or market adjustments for employees.

this is NOT the time to be
this is NOT the time to be talking about giving city workers raises. many people don't even have jobs. city workers aren't the only workers having to tighten their belts. no raises!
Rose Glover is right
This is a set up by the high paid managers to get raises
and Pat Dunn, in her lapdog mentality with City Management, fell
right in lockstep
Pat is more interested in the city management than the city taxpayers but alas her supporters are too blind to see that
I Want a Raise...
But unfortunately in Greenville which is already considered business unfriendly, I haven't made a profit in three years and haven't had a raise in five. The teachers who teach my kids haven't had raises in three or four years, in fact my son's teacher has been teaching 4 years and still hasn't had a raise. In fact, I know of no one who has received a raise in the past 3 or so years. So basically, it disgust me to hear the city talk about raises for city employees when the members of the community who will foot this bill have not received a raise in the same amount of time as the city employees. We already let the city employees keep their great retirement program which will cost, us, the taxpayer, dearly. I guess I either need to find a job working for the city, just realize that the city is going to tax and license my business so much that I can barely get by, or save my money, move out of the area as soon as possible and open a business elsewhere.
