Personnel said "no raise" til ACSS stepped in

It took a few months, but thanks to ACSS, I finally got what I deserved:

A 3% raise and backpay.

I was demoted in lieu of layoff a few years ago when CDCR was downsizing and I slowly worked my way back up to the same supervisory position.

Like many excluded employees who have been topped out for years, I was eagerly awaitng my raise when the 3% bump hit in July.

I tore open my paystub in July. No raise.

Wall Street money managers are thinking about your retirement, too. They want to destroy our retirement system, CalPERS, so they can feed at the expense of state employees, retirees and taxpayers. After our pension is destroyed or substantially reduced, they would be happy to invest whatever money is left.
