Board Finalized Budget Staff Gone

They did amidst a lot of participation, I have been informed. CVTC staff members who have put in up to 31 years, and do not qualify for benefits, or even early retirement. There is no option for these staff members, no early retirement, no health benefits, and no severance pay. What they got, is out the door, part of Dr. Ihlenfeldts In-source policies.

It is amazing, how Dr. Ihlenfeldt can justify the same exact health insurance costs, a much great level or pay for leadership, cash stipends when management retires into the thousands of dollars, four weeks vacation the first year they work and well more.

CVTC Union staff do not receive those same benefits, and obviously, since they are less educated, have more demeaning jobs, make much less money, recieve less benefits than their counterparts in leadership, it is easier to get rid of them. Funny how this world works. He who owns the Gold makes the rules is an old saying.

In a few years, you'll have to look hard to find anyone to assist in technical support, unless you wish to call Florida. Maybe they'll have some great deals on cars, trucks and more there. And then maybe not.

Good job, Board of Trustees and Dr. Ihlenfeldt.

Just my take from scads of emails, strongarm.
