This photo of my first staff meeting after coming to Regent Place branch is from only a few years ago but it’s pretty amazing that only three of the eleven (four of twelve if you count me on the other side of the camera) still work at the branch.
Four have retired, one went to a government job, one moved to another branch, one went to another library system, one is on leave.
This photo says a lot about the ongoing boomer retirement transition which is only going to increase as more Gen X’ers and Millennials move up in their respective organizations.
(It also apparently says that the best way to stay working at this branch is to sit in the front left corner of the table as all three employees who still work here are sitting in a row in that area!)
