Its a pittance compared to the amount of hours politicians put in. How many CEO's would accept that amount after spending years and years with the same corporation. Christ, some of us here spend more than that in a year on tarts.
Mayor Miller - severance
- Thread starter buckwheat1
- Start date
I'm gonna run for office. I want to be the supreme dictator of TERB and all the ladies must cater to my every desire in lieu of payment for me. In lieu of payment for the ladies, I'll be a really, really, kinky little fucker! LMAO.
In case you're wondering, yes, I'm a real smartass. But, I do have a dream!
If I won the supermax. I'd play with each woman on terb at least once. Whew. See, I'm still trying to run for office.
If I won the lottery, I build a sky-scraper condo downtown just for everyone to have incalls. LMAO.

Well, according to Councilor Sandra Bussin, City Councilors (and presumably the Mayor) are NOT employees of the city!

So I guess that would mean the City should not have to pay them severance!

One month per year of service is pretty standard for people in highly specialized jobs. It is common in the private industry; it is what I'd expect to get if I lost my job. The idea is that highly specialized people can't just apply to any job, it takes some time to find something equivalent, versus say, someone quitting a job at McDonalds who could probably get hired the next day at Burger King.
That said I think that the public sector in general provides ridiculous pensions and other benefits both for public employees and for managers/officials--this instance just doesn't seem to be one of them.

I wonder what Mel got when the city amalgamated and he was no longer mayor of North York - 2+ years severence?. I bet Hazel will get a nice package as well.
If ant ceo of a company with the budget and payroll of the city of Toronto ran things the way this mayor did he would be out on his ass with no severance... think GM
The argument that you ahve to pay exceptional wages to get good people in public office is self serving bullshit propogated by the people in office who want the raise. Take a good look at council in Toronto or anywhere in the GTA for that matter. You have at best second rate ego maniacs who either can not or will not live in the private sector.
The only exception is when somebody retires from private life and runs for public office out of a sense of responsibility. Please note I am not shilling for John Tory here, I appreciate the effort the man put into trying to get elected but people in a whole bunch of ridings have spoken.
Back to the current crop with a few exceptions they would not be able to make a living at anything like their current salaries in the private sector, nobody would hire them toi run a poop and scoop operation.
Here endeth the rant
Many CEO's have negotiated this into their contract as a bonus if there is an expiry date to their contract.
The Sick Kids Charity boss got a 2.7 million dollar severance.
Makes you rethink where you send your money, doesn't it?

Wagoner was at the wheel bankrupting what used to be the worlds most powerful company.
He received a 20 million dollar severence.

????...your joking right. Ever hear of the term "Golden Parachute"? CEO's are are notorious for screwing up a company and walking away with millions. What miller got was a pittance in comparison
So the private sector never has any ego-maniacs? ...So if money isnt what it taked to get good people in office ..then what is it? If salaries were being compared to the private sector based on budget and payroll the Mayor would be getting millions of dollars more ...so why are you complaining?
