[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The updated list was just sent to MCPS employees.[/quote]

So was this comment: "With approximately 90% of our budget composed of people (our teammates), there are really only two places for us to seriously consider making reductions to balance our budget - it must either come from the number of people we employ or the [b]wages and benefits [/b]we use to compensate our hard working team."

They won't cut positions. The staff will have to make sacrifices only to be treated like shit and have MCPS ignore the timeline to reinstate wages, just like last time. [/quote]

If they cut wages and benefits from SEIU staff, many would leave. Wages are very low as it is and if we get our benefits cut, I would leave in a heartbeat. [/quote]

I really hate that every year we are expected to do more with less. If they freeze wages and increase benefit costs, we will still have to do even more. MCPS just piles more and more on its employees without recognizing that their goals are unattainable and not worth the compensation.[/quote]

Compensation costs are increasing faster than county revenues. If you can't see why that's a problem it is no wonder so many kids are graduating not proficient in math.[/quote]

Except this is about workload. The workload gets more demanding every year and MCPS leadership seems to ignore this issue. If you want to start a thread on math proficiency,  I'm sure many math teachers will explain how MCPS pushes kids onto the next level before they master the basics as well describe how attention has declined thanks to nonstop cell phone usage, which starts at younger ages every year.[/quote]

This is a thread about budget costs. Compensation makes up 90% of the budget so to suggest this isn't about compensation is beyond absurd[/quote]

How stupid to think the 10% shouldn’t even be touched.[/quote]
