I work in education and was told that due to the DfE ‘guidelines’ that have ‘recently been released’, the institution is no longer to be able to offer remote learning (I’m purely remote, have always been remote in the position and part time). I don’t know what guidelines it concerns. I have now lost my job. I have a call with my boss in an hour. It isn’t the loss of job that angers me, it’s this message.
Firstly, what a shitty text to send to someone – I spent the whole night panicking and wondering what could have happened. I went from losing my job, to someone having complained, to something bad having happened to one of my students.
I do not believe this just happened on 1st September, when most schools and institutions are expected to start returning.
Also, a little bad news…. I HAVE LOST MY JOB.
I wish I would have been informed at the start of the summer holidays so I would have had weeks to have sorted something out. Now, I’m left jobless. If they only found out yesterday then so be it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in a pretty comfortable position (I won’t starve or be homeless) but irregardless, I feel from a university, this is unacceptable conduct.
I’m looking forward to spending my weekend job searching and completing application forms.
