A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Blah blah blah. I know a girl who just got a 75k a year job , has no experience no training just a well known family member. Cut the fat first
75k isn’t that much money. Most recent college grads I know make more than that right out of school. In fact, the average starting salary for recent graduates of U of I was over 75k for the class of 2023. 75k today is the equivalent of around 60k before COVID. I’m guessing that many of you that believe this is a lot of money haven’t been in the work force for quite some time. Candy bars no longer cost a nickel.
Did you read my post. No experience. No training. You show me a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, who took a year off to find herself comes home to this job. 75k . Maybe I was born in the wrong era. Or maybe it’s your kid
From her lack of credentials, that starting salary is at least $30K too high. This is another example of abuse of taxpayer funds.
Not another taxpayer dime until wasteful spending, political and DEI hires eliminated. Mass transit should be required to be fiscally responsible.
