I met with management for a 90-day review and for my concerns over the pay being low for the position. I have the title of music instructor but am expected to work at a director.
I started a position under the guise of being just a music instructor, but it actually is a role for tutoring children, being a personal mentor to at least 5 and do 10 forms a week (2 per kid), helping with grants, write my own lesson plans, do monthly reports, organize events, music production, shop for department items (using my own sales pipeline), on top of music instruction etc.
In the meeting: I was told that this is a non-profit and that I should understand that and I should expect to wear different hats and should be patient. I don't get full-time hours, just the legally allowed amount under (32). I have a bachelor's degree plus 6 years of experience, and I am vastly unpaid. Single instrument instruction pays between 25-50 an hour. I'm teaching 5 different instruments plus doing professional music production classes.
I told them there's a disconnect between pay and responsibilities and that this isn't workable for me at its current state. Their response:
It sounds like that's a resignation. We'd need a letter or email stating that.
This position was open for over a year before I signed on….
