Mar. 28th, 2003 07:21 pmI just found out that five of my Newark staff have been fired, at least two more are going to be fired, and one has had her pay slashed in half.
This wouldn't be so bad if it was the only full-time staff, because they can always find something else. But the student staff don't have the same resources to fall back on, and now they don't have anyplace to live. And these are my kids, damn it, no one gets to treat them like this!
I've been trying not to play the if-I-hadn't-left-they'd-all-be-okay game, because it's only half true. But I feel guilty and angry and betrayed and useless.
And the oh-so-selfish voice inside me is saying that this is a direct reflection of what D and T think of me. But what they're doing is just going to turn the site back into the mess it was when I was called in to fix it two years ago. So @#%$ it. D and T deserve it.
