Apparently, she still has enemies in the Virgin Mayor’s town,
one of whom sent me details of her salary, unasked for.
It came in an envelop with no return address, but post
marked for the town.
Not apparently from any of my usual sources.
Just why I’ve no clue.
From what I can gather, she got hired in early 2013 as an
administrative assistant at a $30,000 annual salary -- certainly more than she got from our cheapskate
owner while she worked for us, yet barely a livable wage in the town where she
lived.
She hit the ground running sending her first press release
to D, who had replaced her on her beat, though eventually, she got promoted (or
perhaps promoted herself) to become a PR person, working under the PR guy who
later did work for R’s campaign in Hometown. It is hard to tell if this was a
change of allegiance from RR and the Virgin Mayor. But this was the time when
she posted the first of a series of love poems to some married man she was tempted
and eventually got involved with, possibly someone she worked closely with in
city hall.
A number of other things also occurred around the same time,
including a brief interlude with Cryan, who was then Hometown Democratic chairman
and eventually moved up to the virgin mayor’s town replacing RR as the head of
the parking authority. This job may have been a reward of some kind.
According to GA, the hometown blogger, (actually it was kboken
– most likely our female boss—that said) our poet also became a barhopping friend
with A, who went from being our Hometown writer to the PR person for the third
candidate in the hometown election, earning $10,000 as a spy gal.
But then, according to the documents sent to me this week,
our poet also got a big raise last May, $20,000, pumping her annual salary to
$50,000 more than double what she got paid in our office.
According to rumors (which I’m not certain I believe), she
apparently expected another $20,000 raise at the end of last year, which
someone else got instead of her, and also according to rumor, how she found out
about it led to her getting fired.
I don’t have real facts about the end of year raise, but the
documents showed the other two figures as correct.
Did she push things too far in expecting the second raise?
Or are there other factors that I know nothing about, and will likely never
learn. The fact that the PR guy didn’t know about her being fired until he
contacted her later suggests all this happened rather quickly and involved only
a few higher ups – the rumor is the Virgin Mayor did it himself.
Although I have a good relationship with the Virgin Mayor, I
don’t have courage to ask him about it. Maybe some day. Not now.
