This is just not enough! We need to see a reduction in staff not a freeze and we need to see the staff giving up just as we have hod to!!! All we get from you is the same old crap!!!! We didn't buy it the first time and never will. Why don't you try co-operating with retirees and their wishes??? That would sure be a refreshing act on your part! GEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Take care!!

Dear Ms. Stratton:

Contributing significantly to the reduced operating expenditures at STRS Ohio are: (1) the current associate head count freeze; (2) associate salary freeze effective through June 30, 2010, and (3) lower Performance-Based Incentive (PBI) Program payments to eligible Investment Department associates due to the suspension of this year's PBI program beyond Jan. 31, 2009.

I, like Thomas Curtis, want to see a detailed list of significant things that employees have to lose. Without a list from them, this process is not finished!!!! 

Let's spread the pain around!!! Like anything they give up or have taken from then will matter!! With their salaries, it will truly be a drop in the bucket therefore nearly no pain. However, they need to feel the pain to understand. If the STRS staff/employees were worth their salt, the would not have to be asked but would voluntarily turn in a list for themselves. I believe this is called greedy and selfish.

Waiting for that significant list!

Take care!!
