I just wanted to let you all know how sorry you are for misunderstanding my comments regarding that raise that no one in particular gave to Pegs.
When I said
HR reviewed Peggy’s employment status and found that she was vastly undercompensated
and then I said
I didn’t give a raise, she didn’t ask for a raise.
and then I said
HR evaluates everything. I didn’t ask for it. It came from HR.
you all thought that HR gave Pegs a raise! I know how it is. Sometimes you’re in a hurry, and you don’t hear what you mean. So, you’re sorry. Obviously, I regret the inference. The inference you all made, from those comments. Regrettable, for sure!
You’ll be glad to know, we’re putting it through as 100 separate raises of $300 each, so no one has any concerns, and we’re putting this unfortunate distraction behind us. Although I have to speak my mind here, you should be ashamed to only be giving her a raise of $300! She’ll never be able to afford a house in Burlington now!
Next time you all have a question about how the city spends its money, we’ll avoid the misunderstandings. I won’t speak to you at all.
