Reply to comment by ZhugeTsuki in Record staffing shortage leads Howard Center to reduce ‘crisis beds’ by RamaSchneider
I know an HC employee. The burnout is real, and they have a real middle management issue. There are a lot of bad managers driving out people with typical bad manager behavior. For example, Howard Center policy allows for hybrid/remote work if and when possible, and a lot of positions actually would make sense for it. But managers take advantage of it but refuse to let their teams to. Or forcing people to have their time off requests for all three months of summer…by February. When you combine the frustrations of bad managers with the burn out of the work, and working nights and weekends, no one wants to stay, even in the positions that are well paid.

Nope! Chittenden cty! Haha I guess it answers the question people do get ticketed for littering since this has happened at least twice.

I came to the comments to tell this exact same story. Either we have the same friend or apparently Vermont high schoolers need to be more careful with their Gatorade bottles.

Reply to What’s going on with the Winooski schools? Looked at a house there and saw they all had 1/10 ratings and below 20% proficiency rates with terrible graduation rates? by vermont4runner
Winooski school staff are actually excellent, Essex westford is also fantastic! As others have pointed out, the heavy numbers of new Americans skew the winooski stats but both areas have extremely good schools.

Coming from FL, you would probably feel most comfortable in chittenden county or one of VT’s more “metro” areas. You will find more inclusive attitudes and overt value of diversity, and it is just a very different vibe than the pure country farmland of our beautiful neighboring areas. I know multiple chittenden county transplants from Florida that love it!

They do now post salary ranges but you have to look on the Howard center page to see them!
