[CAUT] The Craftsman by Richard Sennett

[Wigent, Donald E, Jr]

Hello Everyone,  Don Wigent here.  Because of the state personal
departments continuing work to make the classification of its employees
more confusing, they are changing the name of the job classifications of
many of its workers and guess what.? My job is one of those to be
changed and or revised.  This means no change of money or requirements
however it would be a great help to have an average wage being paid to
the university techs in case they should decide that I am under or over
paid for this position There is no threat to change my wages. So what I
am looking for is some information to show how much a tech with this
much responsibility should be paid.

I have about 160 pianos to take care of including 4 performance areas
including 4 Ds and a B, teaching studios and class rooms  and practice
rooms with various makes and models of pianos. Tell me how I can get
this info.

Dear Fred,

 

Thank you for the book recommendation.  I have ordered it for my
library.  Hope you and your family are doing well.  I'll miss seeing you
in Anaheim.

	Hi Ed,

	        I got the book out of the library, and have found it
fascinating so far - very perceptive and provocative. I won't be at
Anaheim, but I'll second Ed's recommendation. At least based on having
read the first 10% - it isn't a fast read - but I think it is obvious
that Sennett is a remarkable writer and thinker, and has an excellent
grasp of a wide range of experience.

	Regards,

	Fred Sturm

	Has anyone on list read The Craftsman by Richard Sennett?

		Has it focused or clarified your thoughts about our
work?

		I'd like to have a chance to talk with others who have
read it in Anaheim.

		If interested, please contact me off-list.

		Thanks!
