    I still remember when my school district shelled out ~300k $ for some consultants to show up and tell us that the kids play space would be nicer if the paint wasn't peeling from the walls and if we could build another playhouse that would be fun

    Same district that didn't have money to pay for painting the walls or building a new playhouse btw.

      The school where my partner works has had roughly 30% of employees forced on long-term sick leave from work-related stress alone during the latest year.

      This is caused in part by a budgetary death spiral in which fewer students leads to budget cuts that leads to worse service that leads to fewer students and in part by a management that is either incompetent or directly hostile and tyrannic.

      The liberal inside me kind of expected someone in some official capacity to do something when a workplace destroys one employee after the other. But this has gone on for years.
