I never complained about the pay. Which is lower than many depts. The reason I work in this place is I love the area I work in. I meet so many insanely interesting people and people I respect so much like the veterans I see at Honor Flight and other events. I am in awe of these people that have served and defended us. I get so many thank yous and some of the most crazy delicious cookies from residents you cant stay on a diet. I and the others are dedicated and work hard to be there in your times of need.
We will always be there for you.
What I don't like are people who constantly complain about people who "sleep at work" or bankrupt cities with the pensions.
We have many people that have higher education and special training and it takes time to become good at your job. I get tired of seeing good people leave. It is a complex issue and many people are working hard to fix the problem. I do believe Mrs Tutt and the admin staff are hard working and doing there best and they do a good job of managing the Villages and its departments.
If you want to complain go ahead but who do you think I work for, they are not tyrants. They wont fire me for having an opinion. they are not secret police who will track me down. I have said nothing wrong or untrue
I will always be there when you need me even if you are one of the few haters.
And to all the others, thank you for your support and caring about us enough to bring this up

Who knew? I always wondered if you got to eat the cookies or had to throw them out like Halloween candy. It's truly the least we can do. There must be a support organization that receives donations? I agree with all who think pay scales are low. Having lived on Florida wages, I know it isn't easy.
I hope you find ways to advance.
