Results

So the total results are in.

Fifty job equivalents lost. Savings of roughly $4.5 million for next fiscal year.
Reductions spread pretty evenly around in all departments.

No upper administrators lost their jobs but two unfilled positions were eliminated.

Not planning on any pay increases next year.

And this is only the first one. We were warned that it is only the first step.

I have to remember that behind each of the positions is a person.

Some people are retiring and that is a good thing. About 10 positions are currently vacant. But the other 35 or so people are facing the loss of jobs and more importantly for many: benefits. Good benefits.

Tough to take.

Have to say a prayer for them...
