Teacher Flips The Script on Frustrating Administration


It's not every day that you get to use your boss's rules against them. There's something so wonderfully satisfying about when an unfair employer has to face their own music. Not every organization gets to feel the sting of their own unfairness. This job applicant got to call out a company's dumb interview process.

At the beginning of the school year, I asked for a week of time off around a holiday, so I could travel some. I got denied so the week it came around, I was pleased that most of my classes had been canceled because the students had the same idea I had and were all going on vacation. I get an email from the administration stating that I was to cover classes for anothe

Text - The day of the first class, I leave home a few hours early so that I had plenty of time to make sure I could find the place (it was at a location I'd never been) and that I had all the necessary equipment I needed to read the lessons.

Text - For over an hour I rang the doorbell and called multiple times to no avail. My contract stated that I had to wait 30 minutes for students to show up before I could leave.

I'd been having a lot of issues with the administration so I'd become an expert on the finer details of our contract. One of those details was that t

Text - My favorite part, though, was receiving a text that said I was to teach a class on a given day. They made special mention of the 72 hour rule. I ignored the text. When the time for class came around, I got another call: "Where the hell are you?" "At home." "You have a class." "No I don't." "I sent you a text. I have it saved." "Texting is not an approved form of communication." 1 2
