I'll talk to Carmen this Friday and let her know about the change in management this October.
This means no severance pay at the moment, right?
Carmen will continue with her regular hours through the end of September?
I'll also ask her about taking on reduced responsibilities/salary starting in October.
The weather should be nice enough in September for the playroom to get less traffic so if we can't find a weekend cleaning person, things shouldn't be too bad. I've asked her in the past if she knew anyone who might want to clean on the weekends, but we came up empty.
