"They said I was fired but I'm still getting a paychecks. I'm not going anywhere."

The University of Missouri will be shaggier and dirtier and faculty will be responsible for taking their own trash to dumpsters under the plan for cutting 50 jobs in campus operations detailed in an email memo sent Friday by Vice Chancellor Gary Ward.
Landscaping operations will be cut back so sidewalk edges are trimmed no more than twice a year and only in the most visible locations, Ward wrote. After Saturday football games, the debris left by tailgaters will not be picked up until Monday, he wrote.
Custodial staff no longer will clean or remove trash or recyclables from offices, Ward wrote.
“This frees up custodians to assist with recycling, which, previously, has been a volunteer effort,” Ward wrote.
The plan to save $5.47 million in the MU Operations division that employs 842 people exempts the MU Police Department and MU Environmental Health and Safety. Ward warned it likely means slower response time for maintenance issues, less overtime and slower snow removal.
In the email, Ward warned that “we will be unable to sustain the level of service for which you have become accustomed. I do not anticipate that changes beginning July 1, 2016, will inhibit the academic mission at Mizzou, nor is it my intention for that to ever happen.”

The custodial staff should be working 24/7 on cleaning out the PC stuff.....
Make the women studies/black studies professors empty the trash. What the hell else are they good for?
Indeed, as I perceived it, they got rid of the wrong people. The diversity mavens and agitators...professors and employees alike...should have been the first to hit the door.
They don’t do anything remotely positive for society anyway. Right? :)
Just wait until you watch that vid I posted. Then you will want to kick them out yourself!
Typical liberal thinking.
We are in an existential financial crisis, let’s switch from Hinz ketchup to generic brand in the commissary, That should do it...
“Plan B captain”, that doesn’t work, we shall fire the engine room and engineerIng staff, and cut back IT. Why, this ship gets along just fine, those little people are expendable, right Dr. Pangloss?
As we are I charge, and have been doing everything perfectly
Why, this is the best of all possible worlds.
How are you going to do Business, Econ, Engineering and Physical and Biological Science without Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Departments?
Time to collapse the existing cesspool that inflicts disease in our children
For Pete’s sake can’t we keep basket weaving around for nostalgia?
Is anyone surprised by this. I’m looking forward to Fall enrollments. This University screwed the pooch without K-Y.
Something doesn’t ring right with this. Most custodial jobs are paid for by the fed government. The jobs works program so whatever it’s called which hires students. Maybe, they’ve decided to fill more custodial jobs with students using federal monies. Watch for the admin to get pay raises.
FYI, if your college student gets one of these jobs and they need more pay or hours, call up the financial aid office. Usually it’s not a problem. Surprisingly, it’s not set in stone.
I watched as much of it as I could tolerate...about 30 seconds. LOL!
I come [that] close to becoming a racist after watching these idiots being racist themselves. Grrrr!
“How are you going to do Business, Econ, Engineering and Physical and Biological Science without Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Departments?”
I am surprised you did not ask about Accounting and Finance departments.
Was the football budget cut?
“Make the women studies/black studies professors empty the trash. What the hell else are they good for?”
It would be a miracle if they avoid generating the trash, let alone emptying it.
You can’t make it up. The stupid hurts make it stop!!!!
It will make you mad, but fight it, observe, like I said, it's like reading the Communist Manfiesto, but you will have a better understanding afterwards.
I worked in a building complex where the janitorial staff went on strike, withing a few days, life was a living hell, throw on the Maintenance and the gardening staff missing, and Oh Boy, its going to be something else.
