I hope this quote will touch a fiber in our brain

I hope this quote will touch a fiber in our brain.

How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, sh--, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”

― Charles Bukowski, Factotum

“there is a loneliness in this world so great

that you can see it in the slow movement of

the hands of a clock.

people so tired

mutilated

either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other

one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich

the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us

that we can all be

big-a-- winners.

it hasn't told us

about the gutters

or the suicides.

or the terror of one person

aching in one place

alone

untouched

unspoken to

watering a plant.”

― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Let me share a quote that I hope will trigger some activity in our brains.

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

I would take a 20%-30% pay cut to save my job, since it’s been hella tough trying to get a new one ( three years on the market). They should give us that option before doing layoffs. It’s a much better choice than a 100% paycut.

A real question is compensation from ATGM to DV to Cogswell...no raises due to no funding for that in fiscal yr 2019. If there were position developments plan on increase pay level.. will that go away?? I bet, we get paid really good compared to cogswell employees.

So how is that going to work????

What scares me about this town hall is the most important to our survival which JB briefly talked about but had no fancy graphs or charts is our continuing persistence. Yeah he said we are up some ridiculous number, but that doesn’t mean we are profitable and salvageable. There are more continuing students then new, so they dodged the real issues in my mind.

@SjMtG1B-jib Is right...I was there...nothing in today's TH to suggest layoffs are coming.

Did JB make a farewell address to the troops before putting on his golden parachute and jumping off-board?

There is nothing in email about colleague separations. They are taking away the yearly bonus and upping the 401k match instead. That will save them a chunk of change this year....maybe it will save some jobs.
