my director demoted me without even speaking to me?
I don’t know if i should stay anymore. Help??? So i have been at this center for 7 years, working under 2 different directors. When the new director started we already knew each other due to being co teachers- so she trusted me and knew my ways of teaching & handling kids. She had me help her with so many things, office work, enrollments, files, elc things, even inspections & official paperwork for the center. She gave me a raise and told me and our business owner i’m “technically” assistant director (not official as i didn’t have my CDA at the time). She made sure everyone in the building knew (staff & parents too!) i was second in charge, and in charge if she was gone. All while i had my own classroom as well. Our business owner would come to me for help as well, so my position was well known.
Recently our director has been acting a bit off, things have been stressful so we have all been giving her benefit of the doubt. However she has become increasingly picky about anything i do or say. Talking bad about me to my coworkers, ignoring any suggestions i have for the center, refusing to take anything i say seriously. I’ve been trying to deal with it but today i got really upset.
A parent sent us a form for enrollment via email & when i went to put it into our system it said there was no account under my login… I went back to the form in the email and noticed my name in an email a few rows down. Note this was a work email i was told i had access to since i work in the office & handle those things. So i click on it bc why are you talking about me?
It was to our systems admin from my director telling them to remove my profile from the system, that i am “just a class teacher” and there’s no reason for me to have access. (crazy since you had me sit in on all the meetings about the system, learn how to use it, personally show me around the site, etc…) It said other things and she was basically blaming me for mistakes that never happened (or that she made!)as i haven’t even logged into that system in probably over a month since i haven’t even been able to do any office work since we are short staffed.
There was also an email to our owner saying that my director had to pull me back because i was making too many mistakes… I was never informed of any mistake i made, nothing was ever said to me from anyone…
So now i feel like i was just taken advantage of and am now being used to throw under the bus for things i didn’t do.
also.. She got upset at ME! for other teachers and some parents coming to me for help instead of her. Girl i am so sorry i cannot control who they talk to but i would always tell them to talk to her. They’re the ones who told her i was more approachable 🙃.
I’m just so confused on what to do about this.
