Trustee warns low morale could drive staff departures; seeks formal personnel structure
Summary
Trustee P. Pastick said employee morale is "very poor," reported workers are emptying savings to get by and urged the personnel committee to meet immediately and design formal personnel structures and review processes.
Trustee P. Pastick told the Personnel Committee she has heard staff express frustration and said morale in village workplaces is "very poor." Pastick urged the committee to move quickly: she said delaying reviews has hurt morale and warned the village could lose long-serving employees if steps are not taken.
Pastick asked the personnel committee to draft a professional structure for personnel matters, telling trustees she is willing to help but "not willing to do this for free." She also recounted that when the delay in reviews was raised previously the board’s answer was "that's ok, they'll get prorated raises," language she said was unfair to employees living on tight budgets. The committee agreed to meet more frequently to complete reviews.
