"Money makes the world go around, the world go around..."

[mousme]

In unrelated news, while I'm spamming your friends' pages, I just found out that a request has been made to upgrade our operators' pay grade. So in a few years' time (about three years, or thereabouts), I will be making supervisor-level pay, if the request is approved.

Booyah!

Here I was, all happy with my current level of pay, and now I find out it may get even more awesome!

Part of me finds this excellent financial fortune really hard to reconcile with all the financial doom I'm seeing on the news. I mean, has the RCMP just not caught up to reality, or what?
Hrm.

No, they work you hard and realize they have to pay you better to keep good people. Yeah!

It's the Conservatives, making law and order a priority! ^_^

Indeed.

Sad that they feel they have to do it at the expense of the arts. :P

Clearly, you should make up for it by using your forthcoming raise to take BorderCrossing to see a modern dance performance or experimental play.

SHINY! How awesome is that?!?!!

Wait, do supervisors get overtime or just regular salary?

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Supervisors also get overtime. However, I wouldn't be a supervisor: it's just my level of pay that would be getting an upgrade. :)

Yeah I've just worked at some shady operations in the past whose idea of a "pay upgrade to supervisor levels" would mean going on to salaried instead of hourly, losing the overtime pay, and still being expected to pull the same hours.
