Can't sleep because I have anxiety about going into work tomorrow N debating if I should call in.
I work at a special needs school that's understaffed, unsafe, and very unorganized. Upper management never notifies me of changes when they switch me on students. Won't properly train me and I had an aggressive student who close fit smacked me in the face twice and continued to punch me on my thighs. Even though he's small he's still strong. This a transition room with 18-21 year old and I was not mentally ready. It's just so different from the other settings I've been in. I understand it comes with the job but fuck idk if I can take it. Even the teacher was incompident in being able to help me with this student cause he'a usual aid is better at it. Like aren't you the educator here??! Our days are 8-10 hours with no lunch break (you get paid an additional hour since you eat with you student) and they could care less if you took a 10 min break or had a chance to eat.
They started me at $15.50 which I did try negotiating since I had 3 years of prior experience but I wasn't very good at it. I've recently found out another co worker (male) who started when I did no experience or degree started with 2 dollars more than me.
I've been punched, bite, hairpulled, and split at.
But they provided us with pizza parties yay!
I'm so fed up. I don't wanna work anymore I've done it all server, bartender, collection agent, Verizon sales agent, personal trainer, car sales, insurance sales and been an aid for people with disabilities at day programs and schools. It all fucking sucks. I'm currently going to school to be in the health care field and have 3 semesters left that I will try to push through and hopefully than I won't be making minimum wage but than again I'm mexican female that has to advocate even more for myself and it's exhausting.
Should I call in tomorrow ?
