Pariah Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 If our midnight (e.g., custodial) crew ever decides they need to prank me, I'm just going to pack it in. I can't win that war. In public education there are two enemies you can not make: The custodial crew, and the ladies in the front office. If you ever turn them against you, you're screwed.

Cancer Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well, the low-level people who actually do work can go on by themselves for at least a while. But for the most part, yes, the administrators would be entirely helpless, and yes, that's where the waste is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
