A pink slip merely means someone at the district (or charter school office) did not do their budgeting so well and you are being axed. As of March 2011, pink slips were still being issued based on tenure unless you work at a charter school and then it really appears some one messed up the budget and/or not enough students are choosing to come to your charter school. A pink slip does not mean you are a bad person; quite the opposite in fact. One of my close friends calls a pink slip something you receive from the universe to protect you from something worse and I believe she is correct. A pink slip can be a blessing if you allow it to be. Being fired generally means you are a bad person and did something naughty, up to and including having your teaching credential stripped.
