Agreed. This is silly. There's got to be a way to simplify & centralize some of these tasks.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the incompetence end and the malice begin?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds eerily like my school. We are being required to do most of these same things. It is literally impossible without liberal cut-and-pasting and Bullshit Bingoing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like keeping 'm barefoot and pregnant and they'll be too busy to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteShame on the UFT for pretending to do a paperwork battle and not following through. More dues down the drain.
