In other Algonquin Township employment news, Deputy Road Commissioner Ryan Provenzano has moved onto to another job, still unknown. He did give Gasser notice.
15 NAUTICAL ⭐? What idiot selected that criteria and why? Why not just say 17.26 MILES?
Is there something in the water down there?
this is hilarious, who ever gets the job will have more qualifications then his own boss!!!!!!!!!!!
The old rule was all road district employees had to live within the boundaries.
Will this notice be in the most read form of news in this county, the NWH?
Why didn’t Gasser post past job openings since he took office like this?
“Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with supervisors, subordinates, fellow employees, and the general public.”
So Andrew’s not qualified…..
I do not envy you Mr. Gasser.
Just know many of us who depend on the township are thankful for you stepping up to the plate.
It seems appropriate to insert a poem here. Stay tuned…23 days…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock…
There is a major shortage of truck drivers right now, and Mr Gasser might have a tough time filling that position at that rate of pay.
A person with a CDL can make more than that pretty easily.
Ditto that, Mr Harold.
Haters hate because they couldn’t do what Gasser did!
There will be a ton of applicates for the job!
Unless the people looking for work are aware that if the eliminate townships legislation passes they will be without a job in a couple years.
Nautical miles?
How silly.
Would only make sense if job location home base was on an island such as Mackinac Island.
“ton of” Nob?
Great, so let’s test that pool at say $12-$15.
You know, as in what the real market dictates.
Not what those F’wit Unions have jammed down Taxpayers pockets.
