[BIZPACREVIEW] Working remotely just took on a whole new meaning for one Democratic city attorney, who is performing her duties while on a cruise ship.
Assistant City Attorney of San Diego Jean Jordan, 65, was approved to earn an eye-popping $300,000 a year while sailing the high seas. She will be performing her duties while on a luxury cruise ship, where she will not only continue to receive benefits but will also be accruing vacation time.
I really, really need a job in San Diego.
Jordan agreed to stay in her position as opposed to retiring, and has been away from land since January. The approval for this head-scratching arrangement came from her boss, Democrat City Attorney Heather Ferbert, who explained to Daily Mail that she is in ''constant contact'' with the assistant city attorney.
When the outlet attempted to contact Jordan via email, they received an automated response indicating she was ''out of office'' until the following day.
''Thank you for your email. I am out of the office today April 14, 2025. I will not have access to email or voicemail. I will return April 15, 2025. If you have an urgent matter please contact Leslie FitzGerald,'' Daily Mail reported, noting that the provided email address to contact her colleague had her name spelled incorrectly.
Former city lawyer Marlea Dell'Anno said people are ''outraged'' by luxury working conditions.
''I can't tell you how many people have called me or emailed me about this. People are outraged!'' she said. ''I don't understand how as a leader you could ever think that's a good idea. How is the work getting done? You're talking about an executive and a taxpayer-funded position.'' |
