State HR office pays Facebook to promote letter blasting SEANC
State government’s human resources department is paying for Facebook ads to promote its leader’s criticism of the State Employees Association of North Carolina.
SEANC has been calling for across-the-board raises for state workers, while Gov. Pat McCrory’s budget instead includes targeted raises for hard-to-fill positions. State Human Resources director Neal Alexander, who was appointed by McCrory, fired back in a recent letter to the editor published in The News & Observer.
SEANC, he wrote, “should know better ... If SEANC genuinely supports the state employees from whom it collects dues, it should be more aware of the significant advances being made.”
The Office of State Human Resources then praised Alexander’s letter on its Facebook page. It paid to promote the post to Facebook users who don’t follow the agency.

As a former state employee I believe that it is inappropriate for a state agency to promote criticism of the state employee association. The plan presented by Gov. McCrory also reeks with corruption giving targeted to specific positions rather than awarding cost of living raises to all employees. In situations like these favoritism is shown to specific individuals that tow the party line.
