County: Can’t Get No (Satisfaction)

Here's what Kootenai County employees said in the "job satisfaction" portion of the recent courthouse survey:

  • I love the work that I do
  • We deal with a lot of crap and get paid crap
  • If I can find something that pays more I won’t hesitate to take it
  • Looking for another job crosses my mind daily
  • Why go out of the way when we don’t have commissioners that support the department
  • Low confidence about job security.
  • Employees have no rights
  • Employees are afraid to be friends or voice their opinions for fear of losing their job
  • I love my job EXCEPT for the pay• Love my job, but I’m on food stamps just to make it

Question: Do you love your job & pay?
