Note: not my story, but infamous in my district.
I work in a small city school district that doesn't give the time of day to anyone who isn't in a cushy office job pushing paper around. There are tons of horror stories, all involved around screwing the teachers, maintenance staff, paraprofessionals, landscaping, anyone with boots on the ground.
They halved the extended contract stipends of most CTE and coaching professionals, they halved the amount of trips that students could attend besides sports (of course). But the scummiest move they had pulled was dissolving their maintenance department, firing all custodians, landscapers, etc. and told them if they wanted to continue to work for the school, they could apply at the company they outsourced to. Comparatively to the district, their benefits were slashed, and everyone who moved over had none of their years with the district apply to their new pay scales. Needless to say, it was a horrible deal just to save a buck for the district. The school I work for right now is going to lose at least 50% of their staff over the summer, including maintenance.
Cue the malicious compliance. Everyone is pissed, but only one actual staff member has done something about it. This being the disorganized district that they are, they never kept any maps of the irrigation or sprinkler systems. The head landscaper who was probably the most screwed over by this deal installed a master switch on some hidden valve box. No one in the district has been able to find it, nor has any of the independent contractors the school hired. This has caused one of the main lawns by the office to go completely dead.
Anyways I'm out of here at the end of June, and I'm so glad for it.
