[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My thoughts are that they need to raise the wage for subs.[/quote]

+1. Subs have been underpaid in certain districts for close to a decade. The chickens are coming home to roost. Some school systems pay subs a premium to sub on the days before breaks because so many people take off. It wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happens in FCPS.[/quote]

Well, the government has been dumping money on people for the past year and now it’s like, gee why doesn’t anyone want to work? Idiocy. [/quote]

My mom's position was outsourced overseas in June 2020.  It just so happened that it all coincided with the pandemic and getting the extra unemployment.  Even with the extra $$, it only came out to be around $2400/month.  That's a drop in the bucket in this area.

My brother is a brewery GM.  His boss, the owner, kept saying "wait until September when the free money ends!  We'll be overflowing with applications for work!"  Guess what?  It's mid-October and they still have the same staffing shortage that they've had for over a year.  The same staffing shortage that everyone around them has that has caused a reduction in hours at most places.

Why would someone want to bust their a$$ working as a waiter during a pandemic for uncertain $$ when they could get a job with the county health dept. as a contact tracer for $15-20/hour.  [/quote]
