Right before we left for Spring Break, my boss had informed us that we would all know if there were any positions cut in our department “before break.” I jokingly told him that he had better let me know at least by that Thursday, as I would have seventy two hours from that point to cancel our hotel reservations for our vacation. He told me that I needn’t worry, and that nobody “in our building” was being let go.

We have two buildings we work out of, and it occurred to me that someone from the other facility was in danger, but I didn’t realize just how high up – the only other manager in the department was let go. The boss rationalized this by pointing out that had he decided on anyone else, the cut would have been insufficient, and that he’d have needed to pick a second person from our already tiny technology department.

So I survived the cuts. My job is safe from Reductions in Force for at least another year, and hopefully by then we’ll have had a bit more of a turn-around in terms of finances as a school district.
