#$%^&* almost got me fired today

[phesina]

This just happened to me too at the cat shelter where I had worked for seven years. Three others and I got fired a month ago yesterday for no reason that has ever been directly stated to any of us.

And just as with you folks, it was politics, something I had thought would not be in play in an operation such as this, but boy was it ever.

Sorry for being away for so long. I've had a case of the grumps and retreated to the quiet of the evening like a hermit.

I haven't heard a thing from admin since that Friday. I did threaten to sue. I wrote facebook but have not heard from them. I am tempted to hire a lawyer to get the info from facebook. I've heard that facebook does not cooperate with law enforcement.

Thanks for your kind words and support.

I would like to hold educators to a higher standard, but sadly most cannot meet that standard.

Have a great weekend.

I so hope they find the non-functional lowlifes that did this and they end up in jail where they belong! This techno-crap has gone too far. What is most disturbing is those idiots at FB won't cooperate with law enforcement in finding out who's responsible. Get yourself a good lawyer and hit FB with a subpoena then sue those b.....ds out of existence.

Even though I'm a student, still I think this is idiotic and disgustingly stupid of the students to do such a thing and this is foolish of the headmaster to straight away scold you without asking questions and inspecting such a case.

Hi again,

I told y'all that these people do not like me.

So today I supposedly insulted someone in front of the students (who made no mention of it, hmmmm.) I was called in the office and told I have no interpersonal skills. I apologized but I couldn't remember what I said and said so, but let them know that no insult was intended. Despite being sick, I had been in a jovial and lite mood and have no clue what I said.

I was asked if I thought what I said was wrong. I replied I couldn't see how, because don't feel disrespectful towards that person, although I have cause to do so.

I think someone was b3eing overly sensitive and trying to get me into trouble. The other issue was: he thought I should let the girls stay longer in the bathroom because I, a girl, do not understand other girls, while he, a father, understands girls.

There are times I hate other educators. I think most are A$$holes.

Thanks for listening.

PS. I've been in a bit of a snit and doldrums at the same time so I've not been posting lately. Now off to do some homework.

Well - in spite of all you're going thru - my hat is off to you!!! It takes a special person to be a teacher - definitely not a job that just anyone could fall in to. And in today's society, it's so much more difficult than when I was a student - back in the 50's-early 60's. It seems that any more, if you even look at a student the wrong way - you're on the carpet for it. And what happened to the good old days when a teacher could give a student a hug or a pat on the back for a job well done.??? Now it's hands off or you'll find yourself in jail for molesting the student. Sad indeed..........

My sister is a High School teacher here in Florida and, unfortunately, has had many problems with students and educators alike. Idiotic things that show how some people have too much time to sit around and cook up vindictive nonsense or things that are directed at her because she is not part of the "clique" that exists at the school. . .and I'm talking about the teachers here!!

With all these issues plus the current problems teachers are facing with budget cuts, etc here this state, she is looking towards changing careers. Such a shame because she is really good at what she does.

What's going on in the schools? Looks to me like the staff is worse than the children!!

Thank you for your kind words. I've decided once again that I need to maintain a positive attitude and let their snide rude behavior roll off my back.

I have more to update, but after that virus earlier in the week, I still feel tired. I'll update later.

(yes, I still have a job.)
