a plan

Freezing pay and hiring, require Dept heads making over 100k to take 15% cut in pay, and charging the standard rates for our facilities would be a start. Review performance records of all employees and do an independent financial review of each would give us an idea of where we stand now. Letting people go would be less desirable than giving everybody a pay cut and/or less hours to work. Everyone has to bite the bullet, from the top on down. So far only the residents have been suffering. We are ALL in this together. Those who arent inclined to take a pay cut so that firings wont have to occur will be shown the door. Those glad to HAVE a decent-paying job will be hired. We can, and will, get the job done with less. We have to.
