Need some advice
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 6:18 pm
Hi everybody,
I need a little advice. I recently started at a school, where the HR has been a complete nightmare. There is too much to go into, so I will cover the main points as best as I can. They put me in an apartment with a leaky water tank, and cracks in the walls and ceiling, which were covered in mold. I should also mention it's reainy season where I am. It took them a month to move me to a better place, but only after going straight to the director of HR, and talking to my seciotn leadership. There were also issues setting up my bank account (which they let slide for the month as well), and paid me less than my contract stipulated. It was only a nominal amount, but after everything that was going on, and the fact that I had to go to the director every time, my patience was wearing thin.
To add insult to injury, the other teacher on my grade level has been, let's say, "less than welcoming". I don't think she likes change, and is self-addmittedly controlling. I have never been a "close my door" teacher, but that's what is happening. With everything going on, I have been really struggling to find out what is expected of me, and it doesn't feel like it's working. I am really grateful for having a job, but I don't feel like I'm a good fit. I have never resigned during my first 3 months, and I don't want to do that to the kids, but I am really reaching, and trying to hang in here.
Appreciate any and all advice...seriously.
