2018-04-24 06:39:39 PM dmartin more frustrating is the employee you try to educate and guide but they think they know everything already and then you find out that some of the rebellion is that they applied for my position however was not offered it due to not being qualified

2018-04-24 06:39:43 PM katherinemparmley my weekend evening assistant just quit
2018-04-24 06:39:51 PM cdyoung1205 I believe it has to do with the pay

2018-04-24 06:40:19 PM bamatthewspeterson I find the pay rate is the main issue, staff that stays generally does this work because they love it, not for the pay

2018-04-24 06:41:46 PM donnalova2 My department consists of my director, myself, a weekend person and our bus driver- we have no turnover- other departments in our community are a mess- it's a revolving door for CNA's and dietary staff.
