Reply to comment by bmore in Why are we not even discussing recalling Nick Mosby? by buckeyebaby
It was nationally reported on last year that over 65% of the kids in Baltimore city public schools were failing at least one class. Some of these schools don’t have heat. How can you justify paying a CEO who hasn’t improved schools during her tenure almost half a million dollars while simultaneously saying we have no money to get heat in the schools? And that 65% figure isn’t from Fox or sinclair, that was on CNN and they reported it in WaPo. I’d be happy to pay the school CEO that much if she had results to prove she was worth the money.

Well currently we're not even trying to attract talent, we're just paying someone who isn't delivering. I definitely don't think we attract the right talent by having a reputation of not holding people accountable for their job performance.

You hit it spot on.
The entire Baltimoron government is filled with a bunch of incompetents who could care less. Though it's hard to find talent in a city with this kind of reputation.
It's been this way for a while. It's just a big power grab and the state and city constantly butt heads. they'd rather see their own city burn instead of make things better. So long as they are in charge. #conspiracy

Ok but I'm curious:
>Do you think we'll attract stronger talent if we pay that position less?

Have we not been increasing the salary of the position in the hopes of attracting stronger talent this whole time? Maybe it's time to try something other than throwing money at a problem? Especially when we're essentially lighting the money on fire at this point.

So you think we'll attract stronger talent if we pay less for the position?

You'd attract stronger talent if it was a more attractive place for people to work. You have to look at factors other than money, otherwise you'll just get people who show up and do the bare minimum for a couple of years.

Money is a pretty major factor in a on call 24/7 executive role overseeing a massive budget.

I think your asking the wrong questions bud and not exactly being open to the true dialogue here.
The moot points your making seem to be part of the issue.
