When you have been teaching at a school for 5 years, basically can and have covered every class in the department, get another advanced degree to meet a qualifications so you can cover even more classes and help your status more, have a fellow tenured teacher write you a recommendation...and you still get passed over for a less qualified candidate.
The best part...the teacher who wrote me the recommendation is the one that screwed me. She got her friend the job. So now I'm stuck in adjunct limbo with enrollment down. I'm gonna lose credits which means I get way less pay. My days there are numbered...looks like I'm job hunting thank God the economy is in great shape.

The disciplinary process at my paid job:
On 8/7, I drove clear to Grand Rapids for a session, only to be told there was no session. 10 minutes later, I was informed I was removed from that case and would be getting a verbal warning.
Verbal warning paperwork doesn't come until 8/13. I sign it and send it back, thinking I'm done and I can move on.
I was not done. The following Tuesday, I receive word I need to retake recipient rights and that corporate would let me know.
I don't hear from corporate until the following Friday (8/21) and told I have until 8/24 to finish. Sunday, I complete the course. I'm looking at my supervisor wondering if we're done or if I need to do anything else.
I'm upset because I feel the disciplinary process should be as fast as possible and those giving the discipline should be as up front about it as possible, not this "and another thing."Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

It seems work is a common thread in the recent posts. I'll add on:
The more time I spend thinking about the position I applied for the angrier I get. My boss got a promotion, so they are looking to backfill her position. I'm super qualified for it, and mentioned my interest to HR the moment we found out the boss got promoted, and have mentioned it to HR and the manager for that position. I even trotted out some stupid certification as evidence of how qualified I am.
They posted the position 3 weeks ago, I was told to apply for it. I did. I had an interview for it today. Now I'm in this angry position wondering why didn't they just promote me and save everyone time so we could start backfilling my position. I'm already doing most of the job in addition to my current job in the absence of my manager. Why didn't my manager have to interview for her new position? Why wasn't that one posted? I would have applied for that and been qualified for that one too.
If I get the job, great, why did they make me go through hoops and how long until my department is staffed correctly? If I don't get the job, how long do I stay with a company that claims to promote career development but doesn't give me the opportunity?Originally posted by West Texas Wolverine

I'm looking for a job in policy, advocacy, and trauma, because that's where my heart is. However, a lot of the social work employers in this area are basically conservative Christian organizations, so a trans lesbian like me wouldn't be welcome there. One organization wants their employees to abide by their statement of faith.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

That said, I've been there before several times. I normally give the employer one free bite. You tell me to apply then pick someone else? Ok, shiat happens, maybe you actually got a more qualified candidate. Do it to me twice? I'm out as soon as reasonably possible.
Don't feel like you owe any loyalty to an employer that shows none back. This isn't the 1950s, few if any employees will work for the same place for an entire career. If they're going to lay you off the next recession, don't feel bad about jumping ship when conditions are favorable ot you.Last edited by unofan; 08-28-2020, 01:56 PM.

Yeah the school I work at lost all of my loyalty by picking some over me again. I will work there until I find something better. Thankfully they gave me enough credits to make the a possible option but it wont last."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Below that, HR has to follow the normal process to dot their Is and cross their Ts to avoid various potential lawsuits.

I joked to my boss (who was one of the five interviewers) after and said, “I’m not sure I stood a chance.” He laughed and agreed. He said I was the next choice. But I wasn’t even upset because you never know who’s going to apply. And the person who got it had every box checked. It sucks but I can’t be mad.
I did just apply and interview for another job in management. I like my chances. I applied and the dept mgr called me the next day. I have a good working relationship with her so I knew I wasn’t going to be bullsh-tted. She asked why I was applying and what I had to offer. I answered and she said they had 15 applicants already. I got an interview spot 15 minutes later. Had a great officially interview/overview with her and a spectacular interview with the other managers in the dept. At the end I was just pure adrenaline. I hadn’t felt like that since the first date with my wife.
i did find out some of the other applicants and they’re all very good candidates. Crossing my fingers. Ditto for you ND. Hope you get it.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

I learned four things yesterday:
1. You’re not supposed to put aluminum in the dishwasher
2. Apparently my old dishwasher was magic
3. Costco’s KS dishwasher detergent pacs aren’t my favorite
