In Japan when employees would not go quietly they were sent to 'the chasing out room'. The goal was to make them feel bored, forgotten and worthless so they would quit.<br /><br />I am pretty certain that the DOE rarely files charges against those placed in rubber rooms. In some cases they achieve their goals, but this is just a form of punishment, cruel and unusual punishment that is analogous to the way we treat convicted criminals.<br /><br />You will survive this because you are resourceful and because you know who your persecutors are and what they represent. I would like to see you and other like minded individuals pick up a few textbooks on law while you are there. Just because our union is accepting of this barbaric practice doesn't mean that it is acceptable, but unless we can make the fools pay for what they are doing the Koch brothers will have them doing this to public employees all over our country until they silence all dissent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-82479764263136759642013-10-02T23:55:29.465-04:002013-10-02T23:55:29.465-04:00You have Google+?

We went on long walks to stores and got coffee because our room was used for meetings. We had parties and decorated. Some like myself worked at jobs within our assigned school...a job I loved and wished I could have kept. When people got the dreaded white envelope to go back to class we were distraught. When I was told to go back I cried. My principal said the staff would now shun me....funny when I walked back through the door they had a party and gave me a tiara to wear. The kids all thought I had been at my new position and was learning new stuff. It was the best experience in my 27 year career. I even got paid extra for summer school and per session I had been excluded from during my stay. Looking back it absolutely changed me. I just never took anything seriously. I was a gung-ho probably excellent teacher who then became vary cynical and left at the stroke of three everyday. I also went out of my way to get loooong jury duties which I considered vacations with pay. I know,these are different times but try to see it for what it is....a truly sick system that does not even resemble the America under the constitution. It is bizarro world.. I am now very happily retired having crawled from the wreckage..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
