W ith the job market in bad shape
and the economy slumping, Greene
thinks the timing o f the layoffs
couldn't have been worse.
“ I miss our crew,” said Greene,
who knows many o f his old friends
are struggling, “I feel for those
guys.”
Greene didn ’ t know how much it
was going to affect him when he
had to say goodbye to his col
leagues and school.
“It’s a lot more than just janito
rial work, you have a rapport with
the students and teachers,” Greene
said. “I would almost give my life
for my school. When I left, it was an
emotional thing.”
Greene said students that had
graduated high school would often
come back to say hello, or flag him
down if they passed him in the
street.
“They would come back and hug
me, embrace me,” he said. “The
school becom es equal to your
home. It was a job we loved.”
With one daughter in college
and a house mortgage to make
monthly, bills are quickly piling up
on the couple’s kitchen table.
Even though Greene and Wa
ters would love their old jobs back,
they are taking life day by day.
“W e’re surviving,” said Greene,
“Ideal with it, I havea family to take
care of.”
He feels fortunate. Not long after
the layoffs he found work as an
educational assistant at the Colum
bia Special Education site. His wife
is unemployed but seeking help
from the Dislocated Workers Pro
gram.
In a twist o f fate, Greene has his
room cleaned by PHC custodial
staff. He says Jte has nothing
against the new employees, but
thinks the only thing being brushed
aside these days is cleanliness.
“My room hadn't been cleaned
in 15 days,” he said.
Greene and Waters aren’t sour;
they just wish they could find the
logic in the school board’s deci
sion. As the two former custodians
sit in their modest but immaculately
clean house, Green remembers why
he became a custodian in the first
place.
“ Most people in life want their
life to have a purpose," he says, “I
was serving a purpose. I was proud
to be a custodian.”
