So long story short i put my two weeks in last friday on the 26th. My director wasn’t in that day so i left a letter in her office. She came in over the weekend and saw it (i know this because my director told my coworker & coworker told me). So monday comes around and she doesn’t show up to work, haven’t heard a word from her. I already know she knows about my 2 weeks but i send her a message monday afternoon just to make sure. Still have yet to get a response. She did not come into work this past week except for tuesday AFTER i left…. She has not acknowledged my 2 week notice whatsoever.
Should i do anything about this? It’s a small company so there isnt any HR or anyone else i can go to other than the out of state business owner but i dont have any way to contact him…

is it normal for a center to be adamant on sending staff home as soon as the ratios drop throughout the day? I’ve been at this center since 2019, recently changed ownership last year though. This was never an issue until this previous year. Any time we are low in the morning staff gets sent home- yes some teachers volunteer immediately which is great, but when that doesn’t happen someone gets sent home anyways.
I get that it saves money but… at what point is it fair to say that we aren’t working for fun, we all need that money. many of my coworkers and i are basically living paycheck to paycheck.
My director has been stalking our centers app after she leaves for the day and then calling or messaging people to go home the second a classroom gets in ratio.. even though we still have to clean the classrooms, prep & etc for the next day.
I brought up today when it was being discussed who had to go home early that i just dropped a big amount of cash on getting all of my tires changed and needed the money but was met with an “oh well it has to happen” to be short with it.
I understand the want & sometimes need to save money from payroll but when we are actually doing work and not just riding the clock i don’t understand why we have to be sent home…
