RIF: The End Is Near 

We've been told that teachers whose positions will not be continuing will be meeting with the Head of School on Tuesday. Also that folks who get asked to stay may discover themselves doing more than they used to.

Not clear which is better. We've been complaining about a gradual creep in expectations for years; by now, many keep a 60 hour workweek. The fear of even more, coupled with administrative promise of a "very nice" severance package, seems to be keeping the scales pretty balanced, pro and con.

They're "only" cutting 25 positions out of 100. Everyone I talk to seems sure they'll be the first to go. I'd feel more confident if someone -- anyone -- had asked me what I actually do around here, but c'est la vie, eh?

Either way, I'm keeping the resume up to date. Couldn't hurt to practice those interviewing skills, either. More Tuesday.

Good luck man...unemployment is no fun. I'm still lookin' for, er...somethin'.

A shame we can't go into a biz together or somethin'...Brattleboro needs a bagel shop.
 
I read the update today to go along with this one ... bummer ... but, we can definitely relate as we've been without an income since June with the proverbial carrot being dangled in front of us by SBA for months. You'll come out on top because you're such a great person (imo)
Hang in there!
All the best to you and yours!
