Peter Gelb, who recently has been asking the Met’s rank and file for salary concessions, had his own compensation bumped up 36% for the 2007-08 season.

According to Bloomberg News, Gelb earned about $1.5 million during his second year as the Met’s general manager. Since then he and the Met’s senior staff have taken 10% cuts.

What La Cieca finds particularly intriguing about the Bloomberg piece is that it reveals that Gelb still takes home a smaller paycheck than Joe Volpe did at the end of his Met incumbency.  Uncle Joe’s final haul was $1.7 million for the financial year ending July 2006.
