Job update (long sorry)

So today I went to HR of the district I was hired in to sign my contract. True or False, my contract wasn't ready.... We're expected to report Tuesday. Are you kidding me!? I was not polite about it mostly because interns, and people who were placed and not hired have contracts, but I don't. I asked the HR lady how it's possible that someone who was offered a position in MAY doesn't have a contract but an unlicensed intern does? Also I asked how they intend to correct this as when you sign your contract determines your seniority, and can determine whether or not I get laid off before someone else. Needless to say I am pissed off. They then told me I could start without a contract because I have a position. I looked at the lady with the  are you kidding me? look and told her that's unacceptable. They told me to come back Monday afternoon and it should be ready. I left after telling them that this is an absolutely ridiculous situation.

I called the principal of the school I interviewed at last Thursday, and was told they haven't made a decision yet because they just finished interviews today, but will be calling people Monday with a decision. I told him I had until Monday afternoon to make a decision on my other offer, so if he could let me know as soon as possible that would be great. 

I also got an offer for an interview at another district which is Monday at 3:30pm. 

 

I'm tempted to write the superintendent of my district an email about how obnoxious this situation is, as we were at a conference this week that was all about being ready to teach, and getting off to a good start have things ready to go etc.... but my contract isn't ready. This is why the district can't keep good teachers, because they pull *** like this. If you got this far you get a cookie.

Re: Job update (long sorry)

  • Ahhhh, dude that sucks ass. Who runs a business that way? Like, seriously.
  • I can't even imagine just how pi$$ed you are right now. I probably wouldn't have been so nice either and would have been totally unprofessional in that situation. I seriously would write to your superintendent and complain.
  • That is very frustrating!  I hope everything gets straightened out come Monday.

  • I'm really frustrated, but at the end of the day I have a job. And in this job market I should be thankful for that.

  • That is so unprofessional of them, it is a ridiculous situation and I truthfully think you handled the whole thing very well. Hopefully you will hear back from that interview soon and will be able to make a decision.

    Also, just wanted to say that your siggy picture is absolutely adorable, you look stunning and well Myles is just so sweet.
