Esta situacion es un LOSE - LOSE para todos los implicados. Es un LOSE para los unionados, cuando un supervisor con mala leche decide hacerle la vida imposible a un empleado, reduciendolo funcionalmente a trabajar en un cubiculo haciendo tareas minimas. Esta costumbre de vedar o aminorar personas a nada lo vi en mis años de empleado publico. Sin embargo tambien lo veo a nivel de industria privada.Tambien es un LOSE para el empresario. Cuando te toca ser un supervisor de un unionado mala leche que se sabe todos los tecnicismos para vivir del cuento. Tu como supervisor eres responsable por el unionado, y por sus fallas. Tu respondes cuando el falla.
Decimos que los niveles burocraticos del Departamento de Educacion de Puerto Rico son malos. En ambos sentidos de la palabra. Supervisores politiqueros - Check, Empleados velagruira - Check, Maestros buenos - Check, Supervisores buenos - Check, Burocracia rampante - Check. Veamos al otro lado del charco, en Nueva York para ser precisos. Veamos el caso de los Rubber Rooms, donde se pagan a maestros por hacer absolutamente nada, en lo que sus vistas administrativas son decididas. La controversia muestra la ineficacia de un sistema de educacion jorobado cuando ambas partes deciden fastidiar al otro.
Y ambos lados tienen meritos. Esta desde el maestro enviado al cuarto por digamos disciplinar un estudiante demasiado (segun sus padres alcoholicos) y esta el supervisor que decide fastidiar a fulanita hasta que explote porque no quiso sobarle la calva en la ultima reunion de padres y maestros. Protegiendo los derechos de ambas pares llegamos a este cuarto, donde se le paga a un maestro por hacer nada.
Un poquito del tema se presenta en los siguientes articulos. Resumamos todo diciendo que todos saben que esta mal pero la burocracia no permite ir mas alla. Por el otro lado esta el que se aprovecha hasta lo ultimo de la situacion. Ese es el primer link:
Donde el canalla profesor tiene un bufete de abogados y administra apartamentos usando el rubber room como centro de operaciones:
A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing nothing spends time in a Department of Education "rubber room" working on his law practice and managing 12 real-estate properties worth an estimated $7.8 million, The Post found.
Alan Rosenfeld hasn't set foot in a classroom for nearly a decade since he was accused in 2001 of making lewd comments to junior-high girls and "staring at their butts," yet the department still pays him handsomely for sitting on his own butt seven hours a day.

In 2001, six eighth-graders at IS 347 in Queens accused Rosenfeld, a typing teacher who filled in for an absent dean, of making comments like "You have a sexy body," asking one whether she had a boyfriend and making others feel uncomfortable with creepy leers.Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/queens/school_creep_bQL5kouK80obW5MhZRyq7J#ixzz0ePKdBjp3
Entonces vemos como lograr detener el que abusa del sistema
The regulations are so onerous that principals rarely even try to fire a teacher. Most just put the bad ones in pretend-work jobs, or sucker another school into taking them. (They call that the "dance of the lemons.") The city payrolls include hundreds of teachers who have been deemed incompetent, violent, or guilty of sexual misconduct. Since the schools are afraid to let them teach, they put them in so-called "rubber rooms" instead. There they read magazines, play cards, and chat, at a cost to New York taxpayers of $20 million a year.
Once, Klein reports, the school system discovered that a teacher was sending sexual e-mails to a 16-year-old student. "This was the most unbelievable case to me," he says, "because the e-mail was there, he admitted to it. It was so thoroughly offensive." Even with the teacher's confession, it took six years of expensive litigation before the school could fire him. He didn't teach during those six years, but he still got paid—more than $350,000 total.

Entonces tienes el caso de ir contra tus principios...
When, three years ago, Georgia Argyris, a teacher, was presented with a letter accusing her of yanking the arm of a kindergartner at P.S. 50 in East Harlem, she let loose with a stream of accusations at her principal, Rebekah Mitchell, and added some unkind words about Mitchell's weight.
At another kind of job, Argyris might have called on a union representative to help her fend off what she considered baseless claims (she was denied one). Or she might have been immediately terminated after calling attention to her boss's waistline (she wasn't). Or at the least, the allegations against her, and her counterclaims, might have been reviewed in a timely manner by an impartial third party, someone who wasn't the recipient of Argyris's unwise outburst.

que concluimos de todo esto? la burocracia existe para fastidiar a todos menos los implicados. A fin de cuenta lo pagan los impuestos de la ciudad de new york, faltan maestros y fomenta vivir del cuento. Solo puse este articulo para sacar la mente de nuestros microproblemas. No pretendo con esto ser ni juez ni jurado.
