Reply to Job offer and counter-offer by peptalks93

I would never trust a company that counter offered as it means they could've been paying you that before but chose not to. They knew your value and didn't care.

Because he negotiated cuts to benefits including removing cost of living adjustments for already senior citizens, let the teachers hold up their end by less benefits and increase contributions, and then reneged on his side to get contributions in exchange.

It's not like the previous people. He specifically backed out of a deal he himself agreed to. He lied and anyone with any kind of brain knew he would. Because that's the kind of guy he is. He went around the state bad mouthing teachers who make 40k to teach people's children. He's a douche and typical of his party and supporters.

Alright so let's play out a teachers set up vs say an accountant. Nothing special nothing unique.

I'll use myself and my wife since I know the numbers.

1st thing to understand is that there are not well paying or even mildly reasonable jobs that are available for 2 months in the middle of the summer. So even in some magical world where they don't have planning and other shit to do to get ready in the summer at most you're earning what? $600/week for 8 weeks? So $5k for the summer to try to work?

  1. I made $92k as an accountant in year 4. My wife as a teacher can NEVER reach that number even with a masters and 30 extra credits. Not after 25 years of teaching . I made that with no masters no CPA just 120 college credits. Her regular teaching degree took more.

  2. Even doing the math on pension to count her pension salary and add it over her work salary annually and even if you grossed up her salary for 10/12 months ( which is nonsense but whatever) she will never come close to the earning power of someone with a college degree like hers.

This doesn't even consider the shit teachers are put through and the dozens of hours outside the classroom they do that isn't counted.

I just mean they said in the past. This all got updated with COVID and it's different for every district (although as you said there's a minimum,). My point was you and I both have no idea when they did this subbing so telling them it was under the minimum isn't right.

He took and failed several tests/quizzes in honors. He decided he couldn't handle it and dropped down. The tests he took in honors don't just disappear. He earned those grades so he gets to keep those grades. It's always been in the policy like that to discourage people trying to shove their kids up a level when they're not capable.
