I Quit My Job

I have posted about my job (my boss, in particular)..   Well after the Skyward incident, she has been on me every day this week. NIT picking about every stupid little thing. I don't know WHAT her f**ng deal is.  Wednesday morning I came in and she asks me to come out to the cafeteria. I can tell she already has an attitude (and I do not want to be in the same room with her, let alone talking to her)...  She starts training me to do plasticware (?? I will explain later). I have no idea why she's training me for all these jobs I am pretty sure I do not do..  She shows me where the spoons and forks go.. how to open the napkin holders. I think she is done talking to me so I start walking away, to go get the spoons and forks (and napkins). She says "Do you want to wait until I am done talking?"  ???  (It's like she stops talking to start something with you on purpose?)  I thought she was done talking.  Then she asks if I am okay (she is the one with the attitude, not me!!).   Finishes telling me what all I have to do. Then I ask her "Is this a new job?"  So she says "Come here." We go into her office. She calls Vicky to "witness" everything...  She's sitting at her desk writing and it dawns on me that she is writing me up.   I asked "Are you writing me up? (She shakes her head yes.) For asking you a question?"  I cannot believe this woman!! She wanted me to sign the paper. I said "I'm not signing that." She said "You'll sign it if you want to stay here." I said "I'm not coming back next year. I am sick of the way you treat me."     Immediately after work, I went up to the office and had a meeting with the Vice-Principal (I had called HR, or the Board of Education... not sure exactly which department it was; just the previous day and asked how to file a complaint against someone and they told me to contact the vice principal).  I told her the basics, and sent her an email with specific incidents that had occured, and my "official" complaints.  (It was a long email.)  Yesterday I noticed the Principal came into my bosses office. (My heart was POUNDING... I was like, "Oh great. Here we go...") But he wasn't in there very long and then he left. He NEVER comes in the kitchen.  I bet it was something to do with me complaining. (He did not look happy when he left.)    Well... ever since I told my boss I am quitting, she has been Kissing. My. Ass.   I do not get her!! Today was biggest ass kissing day ever.   She asked me if I had any more things I would like to say to her. I told her that I felt screaming at me was unacceptable. She agreed and said it was unacceptable, and she apologized.   She said she would give me a good reference for a future job if anyone called, and that I hadn't missed a day, blah blah blah...    I am wondering if the Principal has spoken with her about my reporting her. I just got an email back from the Vice Principal. She wants me to come back in to the office to fill out the official paperwork.  :0   It was everything I could do to even go to the office and talk to her. Now I have to go back up there? What if there's a "hearing"?   I don't know what to do...   :(   Part of me wants to do it, because I loved my job and I don't feel I should have to quit, because of her. If she had just been a halfway decent person in the first place, I wouldn't have even quit.  But another part of me feels scared to death. I am not one to make waves or create drama. I just don't want to be walked all over. I just wanted a part time job. I loved my job (except for her, she made a fun, otherwise enjoyable job a War Zone). I was just starting to get to know a lot of the students, and they would just come through my line every day. Like we were buddies. I am really bummed I won't be able to see them any more.   Do you think my boss knows I filed a complaint, and is trying to get me to not follow through with it? My husband thinks so.  Sigh... I wish I knew what to do... :(    On top of all of this, now I have to look for a new job, too.  :/

I hope you didn't have to quit that job...if you could still keep it, and if she got somewhat nicer to you, maybe you could give it another try...

I hate any confrontation like this also. We know we have to do something but are always scared that it will be turned against us, even though we know what happened.

Mimi she is being overly nice to me now. I already gave my notice. I loved the job but couldn't stand the way she treated me. I don't know if I stayed if she wouldn't revert back to her ways.. I will probably still quit even if she asked me to stay.

I think she knows I reported her, from the way she is acting overly nice to me.. I will think about it over the weekend. I still don't know what to do..

Fill out the paper work Tina She will revert to her old ways if you don't think & you will look bad. You can always quit later or maybe another school job.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time!! =(

Don't stress too much about it until you talk with the Vice Principal--they could just be following up because I'm sure no one in charge wants a bad attitude from any of their department heads. No one will blame you for the issues! Hope you are able to forget about it and relax this weekend... =)

Thank you Linda, and Mindy. I have been stressed out about it, all weekend. But I decided I am going to fill out the paperwork. It's pretty clear to me after Thursday and Friday that she knows and is scared/trying to save herself.. (If she had just treated me in a decent manner all along, we wouldn't be in this situation..) I am quitting, anyway so I'm not worried about that. I will just have to look for a new job now. :/
