[1st-mile-nm] Hiring: Technology and Network Coordinator at UNM

[Steve Ross]

An odd digression. The salary is 'way below market rate for 
the job description. So either UNM gets a good hire who's 
temporarily out of work and will jump ASAP (expensive for 
the university in the long run), or a non-US resident 
desperate for any US job (of course, lowballing the salary 
to discourage US citizens or residents is illegal but hard 
to prove... good ethics lesson for the kids and a good case 
study for the america-firsters), or a below-average or 
hard-to-manage employee with all kinds of hidden costs.
