What I want to know is who is going to do the work when all is left is the over paid management. I know that I would take an online journaling class from you. I love your artwork. Wishing you sunny skies and prospects on the horizon.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555143565211060055.post-14910659417851634522011-07-29T19:02:13.632-07:002011-07-29T19:02:13.632-07:00Everything happened for a reason.

I hope you get compensated some how, through your union.

"<br /><br />Having had management roles for a number of years, not all managers think this way. It's a human trait at all levels that is held by some people everywhere but I don't believe that it's universal to a class of people. You will find a place that has good managers and good co-workers. I do believe that because I've worked in such places.Vicki Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929340703066037054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555143565211060055.post-43920817325662317202011-07-23T12:13:56.223-07:002011-07-23T12:13:56.223-07:00It stinks doesn't it ......we are having simil...It stinks doesn't it ......we are having similar events where i work i am a teacher and I thought that my job would be secure but the powers that be have cut back art in the school for 2 years running and we are a whole art teacher spare again this year ..they wont listen to the benefits of art because they are ICT people and have put that subject above art ....so i may be joining you sometime soon ......keep your chin up .....everything happens for a reason ..there maybe a fat silver lining waiting for you .......xartymesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798834736698500712noreply@blogger.com
