Your client showed up on time for the appointment. Where the hell were you? Fucker. I absolutely LOVE being blindsided with YOUR appointments. Why do you even work here? You were a half hour late to an appointment YOU made with a client? Yeah, I took care of it and YOU... can go fuck yourself.

School is so stressful I don't know teachers are making it through the day. Behaviors are very intense even in Kindergarten. These jobs need to be human sized. A teacher with an average amount of skill and experience should be able to handle it but they are being set up to fail. The teacher in the classroom I'm supporting is using a voice amplifier because she has injured her vocal cords trying to be heard above the mayhem. I'm worried she is going to quit. I have strong classroom management skills but it's not my class and sometimes three adults can't keep 20 kids engaged and safe. I feel like no one is learning anything. It's deeply demoralizing. Check on your teacher friends. They are not okay.

It isn't even 9am and I already ate my lunch sandwich.

The only reason you're even HERE is to answer the phone and deal with walk-ins so I don't have to. When you MISS a phone call, and it winds up at MY desk.... and then you come into my office and STARE at me while I'm dealing with a complete moron that YOU were meant to deal with.... it makes me want to shoot you in the face with a bazooka. But instead I'm getting TF out of this phone call and transferring this idiot back to you. Now RUN. Run back to your desk instead of standing there staring at me, because if you miss this phone call again I might actually buy a bazooka to shoot you with. In the face.

Employer reached out after 2.5 months of my initial application. I am still interested and unemployed, so I really this works out! Fingers crossed!

Tired of hearing all my co-workers whining about them not receiving their W-2s yet. Imagine being that broke and needing your refund so soon. Not in my world.

No. I cannot email your and your husband and your son's W2s to you. WTF? Call your EMPLOYER. I don't know who you are. I'm not emailing you jack shit.

I had a job afew years ago like this, managing a team of 5. It was 9-5, but there was just way too much to be done, so I was often there until 6, 7 and even 8:30. The office head would often pop in on his way home and ask why I was still there. I've always been the kind of person to not leave until all the work is done, but there were times I'd have to get home, so I'd just do more work at night. And on weekends. And the team members took advantage of my constant availability but would lose it if I made a mistake - which was inevitable considering the workload. I still kick myself for allowing it to happen, because I worked myself to a near-breakdown. And for what? I wasn't respected, nor was I compensated for the extra time because I was salaried. Never again.

Former teacher and mom of 2 high schoolers here. I'm in Texas. Our governor, who already champions some of the lowest school funding in the US, thinks everything is just fine and evryone should be in school. He has ruled that he will not find ANY virtual learning this year, provide no PPE for teachers or students, has fought mask mandates by issuing executive orders forbidding them, and will not issue any calendar variances for schools that close due to COVID. Schools are having kids sit in the auditorium all day because there are no teachers. Buses are running an hour late in our district because no drivers. My kids' school had 51 new COVID cases reported just yesterday (that they know about). I feel you. There's a reason I left teaching. Those that stay and fight for our kids are the true heroes. It's not the districts here. The state is basically forcing them to stay open.

The staff at my school voted to do a sick-out action in support of students' demands for safety. What I wish people knew: This doesn't feel like a day off. It's actually stressful. The test positivity rate at my school is 15%. The student organizers are demanding KN95 masks for students, more testing, and outdoor lunch areas. If the students don't feel safe, it isn't safe, and I stand with them. My heart has been in my throat all day though.
