The Education Wars IV: Asshole Administrators

This is how administrators pay for their negligence in wrongfully terminating teachers:

And today:

Back from a beautiful two weeks in the sand and surf. Great friends, beautiful scenery, lots of relaxing and reading. Highlights: being "belly bumped" by huge manta rays as they were feeding, scuba diving on Xmas and New Year's day, seeing whales and dolphins lots of times, and getting a one of a kind tattoo. A permanent reminder of a great vacation. Happy New Year to all!!!

This perjuring shitbag is pulling down 100K a year plus benefits and doing it on the back of my career. She can afford to take fancy vacations, while yours truly is struggling to survive.

Hatred and contempt for her and Washoe County School District doesn't BEGIN to describe my feelings.

This arrogant shitbag appears to have absolutely no conscience over what she did to me...she thinks she has it made...

Just you wait...

More Booming Economy

Not only are full-time workers feeling the pinch during this so-called "recession," but temporary workers are also.

This is a scary statistic:

Question: How many people go to work every week without being classified as a full-time worker?

Answer: Nearly one-third of the work force, about 42.6 million people, according to a 2006 report from the U.S. General Accountability Office. About 21.5 million of these workers either specialized in temp assignments, were independent contractors or were self-employed.

I suspect the self-employed are a minority of that statistic. It's scary because these people typically have no benefits.

Thank our federal officials for allowing far too many good jobs to go overseas and helping to decimate the quality of the jobs remaining here.

With layoffs increasing, so are wrongful termination lawsuits, which are difficult to win in the best of cases.

One of the biggest regrets I have in my life was EVER allowing myself to sign an arbitration agreement, which the union and its lawyers did NOT explain waived all my rights to sue. I couldn't have witnesses, I couldn't bring in evidence, nothing. It was nothing but a kangaroo court process.
