<p>I know S has received emails about certain departments implementing their new hours or schedules based on a smaller staff (has to do with cleaning, maintenance, etc), but nope havent read where anyone has retired and not replaced etc. Also learned that, unlike Amherst, Midd has not had to borrow to meet any kind of cash calls or meet payroll that I can find. So hopefully, trimming the budget is good for everyone and not just because of the recession or crashed economy. Everyone could stand a little belt-tightening, easier and more happily done when youre not in huge crisis mode.</p>
