Hubby is on the hunt for a new job. He's had several AWESOME interviews and no job offers. On a hunch, he had a administrator friend from another state call posing as a possible new employer. His current principal (he's a teacher) answered "no" to the standard "would you hire him again if you had the chance?" Hubby knew in his heart that was happening and it was like a gun shot to have it confirmed.
Hubby HATES his current job. He's feeling rail-roaded into the "he's a bad employee" position he's in. I won't go into the ILLEGAL things they've done to him and the union is turning a blind eye. He even took off the last part of the school year due to stress and being in a poisonous environment. Already, he's starting to get the chest pain he hasn't had all summer.... just thinking of going back into that place is stressing him out. However, his current principal has sabotaged any hope of getting out of the district by telling potential employers he'd never rehire him.
How can he get a new job if every employer is going to hear his current district would not rehire him? I know myself that my last employer would freely tell anybody what a horrible employee I am.... while my current job just rewarded me with the honor of being the #1 employee in the company's 5 stores!!! I'm the same person, the same employee... I was just in an environment that didn't mesh with my personality. Did that mean I'd be a bad employee for EVERY company? Thank God my current employer never called for a reference because I probably wouldn't have my job today!
HOW can hubby beat this? School hasn't started yet - it starts next week. I have the feeling that he'll be going out on disability again before labor day just based on the stress and how he's reacting already.
PS:
After the phone call to his current school, the admin. friend called back and asked hubby "what did you DO?!?!" because apparently it takes a LOT to have a principal admit "No, he wouldn't rehire them again". honestly, it would take volumes to explain what happened. Let me tell you, what happened is something the school is legally negligent on and they're passing the blame onto hubby because he's the one who realized the legality and started to blow the whistle. So rather than have him blow the whistle on the school, they're laying the blame on him.
