Marietta, Sorry about my delay in responding to your post. I have been in Orlando for the Career College Ass'n. Convention and Board of director meeting since Saturday with limited access to e-mail. Most institutions are experiencing similar situations with regard to employees being happy just to be employed. We still want to make certain that we are treating employees with dignity and respect and showing appreciation for what they do to contribute to our institution's success so once this recession ends and employment opportunities become available, our best employees don't jump ship. Students connect with faculty and staff. If particular individuals leave, students might choose to leave as well. Pat
