Will Chad match current inflation with a Cost Of Living Adjustment pay increase?

[Unregistered]

Since the cost of real estate, apartments, transportation, food, and even water has sky rocketed, will Chad match the inflation increase? Will Chad allow his deputies to buy, or even rent? Or will it be a measly 1.5% increase again this year?

"Allow" his deputies to buy or rent?? So he's a dictator now??

Once upon a time, we didn’t get a raise for over five years, no cost of living, nada. I know, I know, if you don’t get a raise you will do even less work. Sooner or later, you won’t be working at all. Not far from what you do now though so no big loss.

That was because of the union impasse. AKA, the agency not giving us raises until we voted the union out. While claiming they could not give us raises during the impasse because it would look like a pay off. Typical games played when we tried to speak up and stand up for ourselves.

Besides, it’s not about the pay. I would take a pay cut for a full squad or getting rid of non police calls we are forced to deal with.

Thats not true, During the vote out of the union it was like 6 months til we got a raise. From 1988-1992 we got 0 , No raise no cost of living.

There was also a period of years where it sucked to be a County employee because they got NO raise.

But not here, we always got a raise during that time.

The time I was referring to was in the 80’s, maybe the 90’s. It may have been before you were born, but it happened. Many years were minimal raises, trust me,

But we’re you supported and still a team?

Oh, You mean back when cost of living was low? Like when a 4 bedroom home costed like 80k? Long before FRJ and ORJ existed? Or should I say county jail west and county jail central? Back when you could go a whole night without going on one call? Back when these shiiit holes were cow fields and orang groves? Back when Morgan street jail contained TPD booking and the actual sheriff’s office and even fleet maintenance? Back when you had to meet up at the SOC to pick up your DXT? Back then when the county was rural and more poor, no raises was fine. Because it could not be helped. Now, it’s not excusable. This county and agency is rolling in money with all this growth. With real big city problems. If it is as elite as it claims, raises and more staffing should be where it shines the most. How are we doing? .

On Oct. 1st the off duty jobs pay rate just went up over 12% for every deputy, regardless of their step, from $33/hr to $37/hr.

The step plan will also go up about 12% for every step.




If not, then most deputies (except those topped out) will be making more money by working off duty than on duty. And, we'll have deputies taking off as much time as they can (just what we need). Because they will make more money by sleeping through an off duty job, instead of coming to work.

If that were the case, even deputies who use no accrued time, a.k.a. "no pay" status, would still be making more money working off duty than by coming to work. And those topped out would be making almost the same amount to "work" much less.

I told you Chad will take care of us. He knows the additional sacrifices and the significantly increased risks we've taken, and continue to take, by willingly working through a pandemic which has already killed millions.
