Newly obtained public records show the city of Charlotte paid Johnny Jennings more than $77,000 in moving expenses after the city manager named the longtime Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department employee police chief in 2020.
Records show, at the time, he lived in a neighboring county. The city's 2020 job posting for the position listed a minimum requirement for the incoming chief to live within the city limits within three months of the hire date.
Because the amount was more than $60,000 Charlotte City Council would have had to approve the expense even if it was paid in 2 lump sums.
According to a search on Google:
The average company relocation package can vary significantly, but for entry-level or mid-level positions, it often ranges from $2,000 to $10,000, according to AIHR. For senior or specialized roles, these packages can range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more. Relocation packages may include a lump sum payment, direct billing of moving expenses, or a combination of both.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Entry-Level/Mid-Level:
Expect a range of $2,000 to $10,000, potentially covering basic moving expenses and temporary housing.
Senior/Specialized Roles:
These packages can range from $10,000 to $30,000, potentially including comprehensive moving services and additional support.
Lump Sum vs. Reimbursement:
Some companies offer a lump sum, while others reimburse expenses based on receipts.
Negotiation:
Relocation packages can sometimes be negotiated, especially for higher-level roles.
Cost Factors:
The total cost of a relocation package depends on factors like distance of the move, size of household, and whether the employee owns or rents.
Examples:
Some companies offering relocation packages include Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, with amounts ranging from $3,000 to over $10,000.
Cedar's Take:
So how to you feel about your job with CMPD this morning?
Why did it take five years to disclose this abomination?
Best Chief the mayor knows!
ReplyDeleteI guess he needed his reparations. Ever since he left the plantation he's lost track of his momma and no one is quite sure who his daddy is so it is just right to make up for that injustice.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves it. What else would our tax dollars go toward? The transgender fraud she/him on city council?
ReplyDeleteI’m still waiting for him to do a LinkedIn post about..
ReplyDelete“Humbled and honored to finish his service, excited for new role at Ally Bank, good luck future police”
Don’t forget the photo of the American flag and his Class As like Kerr did it.
The former chief spent 100k on new carpet and office furniture. I spent 1000 for my carpet and office furniture. Something seems wrong here.
ReplyDeleteAll that money and the best he came up with was "My Pleasure" which will be his lasting legacy.
ReplyDeleteJust SMDH
I have realized that hiding in my Hidey Hole really isn't all that bad considering....
ReplyDeleteI'm a Saint compared to some people working in this department.
Maybe if you move hides holes you can get the city to cover the moving expenses.

DeleteHey, they were processing his retirement papers, and he thought he had networked into a job at UNC…. Only to find out he was out maneuvered by more powerful people networking for another candidate. He was up sh… creek and then Putney’s hireback plan hit the news…they needed a Chief fast…and in stepped JJ! Now we know why… he was paid 77,000 to “come back” when he never left….
ReplyDelete$77k moving expenses. Really? More like a nice down payment for a house on the lake.
DeleteNo, Patterson has the new lake house. Her husband (CFD Battalion Chief) complained after pulling in with his black Mercedes how the system discriminated and held them back.
DeletePutney was a scam artist
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, the DA convicted a murder suspect for life. Let’s pray for more action like that.
ReplyDeleteGood lord!My son moved from New York city to Charlotte as a federal agent at government expense and it did not cost that much.Maybe Jennings lived in the far part of eastern Union county.Yeah,that's it.Mystery solved.Now we wait on the next one.For the taxpayers of Charlotte,I hope the next chief doesn;t live far away!!
ReplyDeleteThe people running our city government are just a bunch of crooks everyone of them we only here about the one's who get caught.
ReplyDeleteNone of them had a career before they took office. The promoted brass didn’t have careers, either. They’ve never done the actually work or dug a ditch.
ReplyDeleteLiterally, their first order of action is to hire a secretary to type their emails and send letters. They don’t even clean the coffee pot.
Crooks always have crooks around them.(liars too)
ReplyDeleteHis entire directs need to be kicked out.
DeletePeople are done with this DEIBS
ReplyDeleteGood Lord Charloot is as corrupt as any big Dem run city now. Kuddos! World Class city.
