They’re striking for funds for the kids who need it the most - the district stripped out funding for special education needs among other things. I for one am happy to be picketing to help support everyone in our district, especially those most often marginalized by bad policies.

I agree with you! I think this is def something we should all be able to get behind.

they just tack it on end of year so just don’t book vacay immediately after original last day

Amazing how Seattle is a single-party city (all Democrat), and still manages to be inefficient and get nothing done

Seattle is a case-study in how to be ineffective at everything in government. It’s absolutely astounding how badly run this place is.

You think they’re being selfish pricks for asking for livable wages? Wow. You should look at teacher salaries, and then factor in that they buy their own supplies. If you still think they’re being selfish pricks, go ahead and enroll your kids in private schools.

Anecdotal, and I’m all for paying “good” teachers more… but I had teachers making over $90k in 2007 that did nothing but have us watch CSI in class. They work 6.5hrs a day, and get summers off. Get rid of tenure and I’m for better wages. But the immunity trash teachers get is ridiculous.

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?
