Absolute idiocy. It’s like FCPS wants to shed its best. Shame on the folks making these decisions if folks are more productive and effective spending a bit of time at home

Since when are the best in FCPS found among its “central office workers”? Gatehouse is where lackluster administrators are rewarded for their incompetence with desk jobs where they can do less harm.

While maybe true in a few cases, Gatehouse and Willow Oaks are also home to the many content specialists that provide invaluable support to schools. The Region Offices, for example, have a bunch of EPs who were pretty much all standout principals. The education specialists for different areas (math, science, etc.) are generally hired because they were some of the top teachers in the division in their specific area. Pissing all of them off after they have seem their wages/benefits shrink compared to our competitors is really not a great organizational strategy.

I was able to find a different job pretty easily. 13% pay raise. Instead of 16 weeks vacation, I only get 8, but that's pretty good. And instead of working 60+ hours a week, it's only 40. Plus the work is MUCH easier.

My stress has gone way down, my blood pressure is back to normal, I'm sleeping again, I'm not crying on my way to work and I've lost ten pounds. There's jobs outside of teaching.

Why were you crying on your way to work? My goodness.

STOP the nonsense....some of these kids are maniacs and the stress is high. We don't just teach-it's balancing many roles and getting paid for one job. And let's not forget we have to baby all of you.

+1
People who ask ridiculous questions like that have never tried teaching a class full of kids, many of whom have behavioral issues and disrupt the entire class, constantly. If there was any support at all from admin re: punishment/discipline, removal from class, etc. of these kids, perhaps I wouldn't have been a stressed out mess on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Other people have far more demanding jobs. It’s just not their culture to whine and complain about it all the time.

Keep running your ignorant yap. Hope your kids enjoy their cadre of rotating unqualified warm body subs.

They likely would not be any less qualified and they might even have more maturity than the crybabies shilling for the union.

You’re so predictable. Be less boring.

Why would they need to only partially work in the office? Surely it’s not still due to Covid.

Why does anyone? Quality of life, job satisfaction, etc.

I’m a teacher and never cared one bit if someone who can do their office role from home worked from home. Enough school based staff fussed that everyone has to come back for optics now. Unless they have proof productivity dropped, this is dumb. They could save a lot of money if they stopped leasing willow oaks.

Right. I get that. So, that was my question. Why have they been partially in the office if it could all be done from a remote location? Perhaps it has been optics.

As a teacher, I have absolutely no problem with them working from home except that they specifically said I cannot, on teacher workdays when I do not have in person meetings or trainings. So, some employees can work from home, but others must be on site even when it is unnecessary? They can do virtual trainings from home but I can't be trusted to do so? That is my issue.

Right but the solution isn’t to make central office people return. I think most of them are wasted positions but they can be wasted from home vs from an office. The solution is to use their success to support teachers getting to work from home on work days, not force everyone on site all the time.

Hahahahahahahaha what role in central office do you play?

It’s a festering pool of nepotism and people who failed up. A handful of gems amongst a ton of rocks and pieces of poop.

But I agree they should be allowed to wfh if their job is doable from home.

I am back to teacher after being off my kids for many years. There are many days that I wonder why I’m doing this. I haven’t been enjoying it lately and I probably could find something else to do because I’m not making that much money.

Laugh about no longer having to work in a school and work on their resume for the next Superintendent’s office opening.
