Discussion: CDC Director Gets Pay Cut After Nearly Doubling Predecessor's Salary

Neither this story or the AP article really explains how this salary got set in the first place - isn’t that the big question? Who approves these things? It’s not like this guy set his own salary.

A reduction isn’t keeping with the theme here … Oh No’s ! —

HHS officials then said Redfield had asked for a pay reduction because the topic had become a distraction.

In other words, he’d been caught.

You read my mind…

Dear CDC
I offer to take the job at half of $209,700.
I have just as much experience, plus excellent management and communication skills.
I will also not require the use of a security detail except when visiting the White House.
I hope you consider this opportunity to save tax payer dollars and want to thank you for considering me as a candidate for this position.
Sincerely,
R. Hortense Corvidae

Ditto here, except I wouldn’t request a security detail when visiting the WH, I would request a HAZMAT suit. Don’t want to catch whatever they all have…

I would be surprised if he wasn’t making $375,000 in the private sector. Top HIV researchers are well paid.

when you are a quack, you earn more.

Based on Wikipedia his University (total) pay 750 000. Yes, it is not a typical Trump case, as he is clearly not stupid and unqualified for any serious job (while not that obvious he would be qualified for this job).
