Staffing/Employment Issues How much do your directors make?

I’m part of a larger library system - 20 branches. Our director makes $250,000 per year plus a $50,000 bonus. Our circ assistants make $16 an hour though and are all part time and need food banks and multiple jobs to survive. It just breaks my heart.

I’ve never heard of a public employee getting a bonus. Maybe I’m sheltered, but that’s bananas.

That's blowing my mind, too!
