Wanted: Employment in West Jordan


I'm not sure what they put in the water in West Jordan but some pretty astonishing things seem to go on there (politically speaking anyway). The City Manager, Gary Luebbers, has resigned from his position to take another job in California and will be getting $360,000 for unused sick time, vacation time, and executive pay. Trust me, that number isn't a typo, he's getting paid out an amount that for most of us would take damn near a decade to earn. Most salaried employees that I know get paid their annual salary regardless of the number of hours worked but Luebbers apparently managed some sweet clause in his employment contract. Another kicker, he's been on the job since 2000. He's 'earned' that incredible amount in eight years. You don't have to take my word on it though, read the Salt Lake Tribune article for yourself.
