Can we please normalize teacher salaries being posted FOR THE YEAR THEY ARE HIRING FOR?

I’m sick and tired of getting hired for teaching jobs only knowing LAST YEARS salaries. The only time they are upfront about salary is AFTER the interview, once we get an “offer.” Why the hell do you expect us to apply for and interview for jobs without knowing an inkling about our compensation!?! We already go a month or two working without pay in the beginning of the year. Guessing pay structure on top of that based on previous years salaries is not okay. I’m getting emails for job fairs and they say things “competitive salaries.” I know in my frustration I’m being repetitive, but if it’s so competitive, then why won’t you tell us what it is? I DO NOT WANT TO SIGN A YEAR LONG CONTRACT WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH MONEY I WILL BE MAKING. AGAIN, “I DID NOT SIGN A VOW OF…

Got fired a week ago, on my way to pick up my final cheque now.

Here’s exactly how the firing happened. I wish I had screenshots for you guys but I can’t access them now. You’re just going to have to take my word for it. For context I’m 19 years old and live alone, my dad lives across the city and we’re the only family each other has in the world. Me, in the work group chat : Hey, I’m posting for cover for tomorrow morning. I won’t be able to make my shift because my father is very ill and I need to to take care of him. Night Bartender: Well, in case nobody covers your shift and you need to come in anyway there’s some things you need to do tomorrow. Me: I’m sorry for any confusion, like I said I won’t be coming in tomorrow as I’m taking care of my father. He has a tooth abscess and might be septic.…

My company is refusing to allow WFH options but not requiring people to prove vaccination/wear masks, so I told my manager I would look for a job elsewhere if that’s the case.

They are wanting to set the return to office for May 1st and in the same email said we are no longer requiring people to show proof of vaccination or wear masks “as long as they test positive” like these fucking idiots are doing that unless they feel sick. I told my manager that I'm not dying for this company so either I can have the option to work from home or unvaccinated people need to wear masks so I know who not associate in close proximity to. She asked me if I was willing to submit my resignation if it came down to it and I said yes but I'm so worried. Please don't call my bluff, I like where I work. I'm an amazing candidate, so finding another job wouldn't be difficult but other than this particular situation my overall satisfaction with my job is relatively high. I've…
