Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding

[Punatang]

But throwing people out of work with no warning? 

I experienced that first hand in 2008, along with 90% of coworkers in my department.  My only warning was watching my boss walk down the hallway with a cardboard box of belongings.  All you could was sit and wait your turn, and wonder if you would make the cut and still have your job.

Thanks for tactfully sharing a perfect example of what everyday workers have always dealt with Wahine. Terminations very often come with no warning. It's unfortunate.  It's reality. Parties take responsibility for due diligence to ensure the solvency of the entities and their funding sources, with whom they contract and engage.

Durian, I am sorry if it felt like I singled you out.  That was not my intent.  My comment was at the general gist of the preceding posts and I stand by it.  It's impossible to have this conversation,honor Punaweb rules, and navigate the historic bias in moderation so I'm just going to leave it at that.  No one takes any joy from anyone's misfortune.  Well, except maybe fire ants do.
