$15 Minimum Wage?

Folks, I know everyone's wages should get cost of living increases but this is ridiculous. My wife has worked 18 years to get where she is at and now they are going to let some jack leg (someone who is not skilled) come in off the street and make almost the same? I can guarantee that my wife will not be the only one screaming. Maybe there will be protests. Didn't this already flop in Seattle?

Wow, your wife has been working for 18 years and makes around 15/hr. She has fortitude. I admire her. I would be really frustrated.

No, she makes more, but not by much. It's not so much what she makes, but the fact that untrained, inexperienced workers will start out close to it.

15.00 an hour and if you have good benifits to boot, that's not to bad. We had an engineer working on our ground maintenance crew, I think he was with us for about 6 months until he found a position in his field. College degrees do not guarantee big money. My teen would think he hit the jackpot making 15.00. 

Thats true, alot of times it guarantees loan debt.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
