First, I did not know Paramount was Steven Greenhut, a noted researcher and author on CA politics and economics who is often interviewed and quoted by various media. Welcome to the Piggs.
Second, Bearish Girl, I’m not sure your links help you make your case. I’ve looked at each, and they are standard-issue application forms–a little long and involved, but nothing surprising considering that once one gets hired by a gov’t agency, it tends to be for a longer time than hires in the private sector. The latter are more subject to layoffs and firings, and the application process is less bureaucratic. Relatively fewer people actually quit government jobs, so it stands to reason that the application process is longer and more involved.
Another of your links described a job opening in Temecula for a Theatre Manager, and showed the pay and benefits. Starting salary of $66,000 and topping out at $84,000. I wonder what the manager of the local Regal theatre makes. And I bet they don’t get 5 weeks of vacation after ten years and retirement @55 with 2.7%, plus the other fringe benefits shown. Hmm…I was in Teahouse of the August Moon during college…I wonder if…..
