I am on a crop commission in my state. Recently we sat through 8 hours of researchers asking for money for continuing research on several things.
one of the reserchers gave his proposed budget and asked for a substantial increase because his wife is pregnant and he has to hire an assistant so he can take leave.
his research has value and is needed. but the added cost I dont believe is the commissions problem or the the problem of the growers who fund the commission.
we vote on this stuff in a couple weeks. am I wrong in todays world for thinking this way?
Absolutely not on the increase. Without knowing all the details as others have mentioned unless his wife is bedridden and has other kids it should not even be considered. Even if his wife is, if he cannot find a way to complete the research his research money should be paid to someone who can.
It's time he grows up and starts being an adult. |
