I work at a small school as a co-teacher for 1st grade. When signing my offer letter, it didn’t mention that I would be subbing when another teacher is out. When the year started, they even had me covering two other teachers 30 minute breaks until I said something and now only cover one.
Yesterday I was covering for a teacher and I had already stated in an email that I could only cover until 10:30 because our class had a busy day ahead. At 11, I texted my boss asking when the teacher is coming to cover. She said she fell into mud and had to go change… The teacher ended up getting there at 11:45 and my boss sees me and goes in for a hug. She tells me “Thank you so much for your flexibility this year, you’re amazing. Please don’t ever leave me. I mean it.” Welp, that’s my cue to go. Sounds like I’m in a toxic relationship.
