Un-Pinked

Officially my RIF notice was rescinded. What that means is I have a position next year (the same one I have now). The reason we are smiling is because we can breathe now knowing that if I cannot find something close to home, I still have a paying position. Wish me luck in the job search so I don't have to travel as much next year.

RIF, Pink Slip, Layoff

It is official, but I wanted it to actually be pink. It is called a pink slip for goodness sake!

I was actually waiting for this to happen. Being a first year teacher, it is always expected. Schools always layoff and then most of the time rehire. My district is closing a school though, so they went 5 years up the seniority list in the first round of RIF notices. What is a RIF notice? Yeah, I had to look it up.

RIF: Reduction In Force
In other words, our Jedi strength will be decreased next year!
The district is hoping to save all but 10 to 15 positions. Of course, that is taken with a grain of salt until I have it in writing. Job search, here I come! Maybe this year I can get a job closer to home! Yipee!!!! I can't wait!
