Abstract
This paper examines the effects of prolonged states of cognitive dissonance and perceptions of workplace inequity on the employee. Anecdotal feedback was collected from employees within an affluent Connecticut school district where there are two main classes of employees – certified and non-certified. The classes are further differentiated by substantial differences in pay structures, in union representation, and in subsequent collective bargaining agreements.
