I really wish people would stop with the "if you don't like it leave" attitude. Some of us Love our job, our staff, our schools, we just don't like what Follett has done to us, how they have treated us, the lack of respect and appreciation.
I am an old timer, been around longer than I care to admit, have managed to make it through layoffs, and I remember a time that I felt like I mattered, that I was a somebody with a name, and when you went to a management conf. you felt special/important.
It is very hard to leave a job that you really like, that works for all areas of your life, the people you adore, the relationships you have worked so hard at building, and to start over at a not so young age.
We are mad, and hurt, and work so hard to meet every task/every goal given to us. We just want what is fair, and to be appreciated for a job well done.
A good message to the “smart ones” that think abandoning something that you’ve been investing your whole life in is easy. Well said @12xcCfeC-joui
