Dear Arnie

We are very sad that you are leaving the college after seventeen years working as our security guard at CBAT.

Throughout those seventeen years you have kept the students and staff safe. Your commitment and care you demonstrated to our students will be difficult to replicate and will never be forgotten. You showed great understanding and sympathy of the difficulties many of our students face. This understanding reflected in the way that you dealt with them. You resolved many with difficult situations, and at times put your personal safety at risk to protect our students.

We are angered at the way the college has rewarded your service and loyalty to the college and students. They should have done a lot not more to ensure that you remained working at the college. Their lack of support for you says a lot more about the detached management we have at CCCG then it does about your lengthy service at the college.

Whatever path you decide to take we are sure you will be as well loved by those you work with in the future, as you are here.

We wish you all the best success for the future – students and staff will miss you.

Always the nicest guy Arnie. Always a champion and protector to our special needs students. Sorely missed, a sad state of affairs.

What a loss to the College of such a fantastic colleague! Arnie excelled at his job, giving a professional and friendly service all the time. Irreplaceable and inexplicable. This is terribly short sighted and unfair. My warmest wishes for his future.

We need the security staff to keep students and staff safe. I am profoundly disappointed at the attitude displayed by employers that do not value long term service. Loyal staff should be recognised and treasured as they know the students, the staff, the college, the environment, but this does not seem to matter anymore in these times. How shameful! Thank you, Arnie, for all your hard work, you will be missed. All the best to you, Alex Meybaum
