Why was Mansfield's Family Eating on Campus?
« on: June 07, 2007, 05:12:24 PM »
Our student told us Dan Mansfield's family (I realize he's gone, now) came to campus for lunch every day and dined in the lodge.  Why did we (parents) have to pay for his family to eat there?  Is that a benfit all staff members enjoy- their families eat free of charge on campus? ::noway::

Compensation for back wages owed??? Can't imagine why anyone would 'want' to eat the food served there.

Maybe they are poor.  Maybe they were painting Lens mothers house.

I can confirm that his family did eat lunch there virtually every day and sometimes ate dinner there too...all on the parents dime.

Every time we visited campus, Dan, his wife and little baby were in the lodge eating with everybody else.

Anybody ever think that this was because HLA doesn't pay a "living wage"?  Maybe he couldn't afford food on the shit salary he was getting.

Just one more way for Len to shift his employees' expenses onto the parents...

According to Susie the Bullfrog, she used to eat on campus as well. She claims she would often bring her kids up to the lodge and help herself to food other people paid for. So how about it Susie? What are your thoughts on such a situation?

It is one of the perks that HLA affords to its employees.  Staff bring there families to eat and at the same time interact with the HLA kids.  My kids enjoyed eating on campus and getting to know the HLA students.  In turn, the HLA kids enjoyed playing with my children.

Sorry, but I didn't agree to pay for HLA's employees' families "perks" when we were paying $6K per month.  That's bullshit.

Perks? I don't recall any perks being thrown our way and it was our families paying for it. I can understand the staff being able to eat their for free, after all they work there and they certainlly have to eat. Allowing the wife kids and dog to swing by and enjoy the perks is just bs.

You come have come and mingled with the kids with your family at dinner time without us parents paying for all your meals. I know the kids loved playing with Chloe Mansfield, and she was precious, but we did not need to be paying for employees families dinners.

Is this all? Of course not puppet, or did you miss the numerous other threads discussing numerous other topics. Pay closer attention next time lap dog. Since youre here though why dont you take a moment and justify this particular practice for us? If you can.

It doesn't need justifying.  HLA does not have to run every policy by the parents.  The parents are not share holders, they are customers.  If HLA wants to allow families to eat on campus that is their business.  On the occasions that I ran into HLA parents in the dining hall and had my family there, the parents thought it was wonderful that my family was there.  That is one of the interesting things about working in a place like HLA.  What some families see as a great thing, other families see as a bad thing.  I guess it depends on your perspective and outlook.
