I work at a school as a bookkeeper. We are the last ones to receive raises and of course they are trying to make cutbacks. So they start with the bottom up instead of the top down. The clerical staff has to scrape crumbs off the floor while the big guns make hundreds of thousands of dollars and drive around cars that the County pays for. There should be more equality. It takes every single position to make a school run. I am a 12 month employee and they are talking about forcing us to close the school an additional 44 days. If you do not have vacation time built up then you will have to take those days unpaid. We are not allowed to use sick time. That equals almost 20% of my pay. So not only are we receiving a raise we are receiving a HUGE cut. I don’t get it. The cost of everything is going up. If it wasn’t for my husbands income I would literally be dirt poor. So I am going to continue to go to school full time at night so that I will have more doors open for me.
