This was in April and I’m still mad. Trying my best to let this go coming up on a year but still makes me so angry.
I was the director of a private preschool for a year after teaching 10+ years. Received tons of praise my first few months for handling some difficult situations.
Workload kept increasing, Covid surged again and made work a nightmare and getting anything done impossible. Come February last year, I decided I need to quit or go crazy after finding a mess of bullshit my boss had documented on me (which I had access to and was not out of line looking at this). Told her I had been struggling with PTSD a long time and the workload was too much – which was also true. She was bent about me seeing the documentation and continued to argue everything she wrote was true.
I said I would stay and help until she got a new director. I was supposed to help train new director but got immediately demoted back to teaching with the most psychotic woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Was barely even consulted while the new director was training.
I was supposed to stay until end of May. April my brother in law died suddenly while I was working. Mentioned it to her at the end of the day then made a request to come in late next day.
I arrive at our second location to drop my son off next day, Director there mentions he saw in “the email” my last day would be Friday. Poor guy was very embarrassed mentioning this when I knew nothing about it.
Basically boss said she thought this would be a relief to me after expressing I wanted time to transition out of the job as I was leaving the field for good and was close with many families there. She sent the email saying this was my last week without talking to me about it at all. There’s a lot more background here but trying not to write a novel.
Told her I’d stay til end of day and I’m done ( this was Tuesday or Wednesday)
Found out throughout the day she had disclosed to the ENTIRE SCHOOL my brother had passed through this email and was my reason for leaving.
Lord help me forgive this woman.
