TRIMET DEKE
Any comments should be made at the original post which is HERE!

Deke's Note: I had hoped Dear Sam #5 would be the last for a while. Then he went and pissed me off. Again. He hasn't learned. I hope this one teaches him a valuable lesson about being the GM of one of Oregon's top employers. He obviously has a lot to learn.

Dear Sam,
I heard you just got a 14% raise,(actually it was 15%) putting your pay at or above $400k. I actually DO the work of transit and make less than a quarter of that.
