Highly frustrated.
I have a co-worker who I am supposed to work together with and lead our classroom, but acts as if I'm beneath her and she alone gets everything done. I'm trying to work with her but all the knit picking is annoying. I consider leaving on a daily basis.
Talk to your director and ask her to sepeeate you!
I've been through that at work when someone does that at work they have no control at home taking it out at work
don't let that Ass stop your money especially if you're happy there first of all start a paper trail on every thing she does try and stay cool make sure you're always around witnesses when she acts a fool get your paperwork go straight to HR if they don't help sue her for hostile environment if all else fails beat down
You will never win feel like you you can lead a turkey or something you really get it done before you go okay Lord you know it's more than one job to do get your partner to your partner or that you could do your part 2 you can do your part fat meat ain't greasy greasy Leo you don't let her do what you do you do what you got to do for you worry about nobody else do I would like that but why there's nothing no more I'm here to do a job I am not here to kiss your ass or anybody else ass and if you want me to tell you that I have no problem saying it that's how you got to get brother that's real talk would you mind sometime see what the situation is I'll cut you have to address it address it
It all a mental game. It about your reaction. She on a power trip dont pay her no attention and just be professional and do what your job requires you to do.
Lets start with the end first, remember why you accepted this job in the 1st place? Sometimes In the classroom instructors/teachers need to feel doing it they're way helping students best reach their goals. and that can create tension between 2 teachers/instructors e.g, being the most popular with the class.
Do you know your coworkers educational background and their experience level? I would ask. You may discover something surprising. Which of you has the most seniority with this employer, your coworker or you?
Sometimes a new employee being in the support role can take a lot of pressure off you, allowing you time to observe and learn how things are done in the work/classroom environment. Also, a teacher/instructor in the support role can give more attention to students who need it, and shows that you care. From an adjunct instructor's point of view, the student's success is the ultimate goal.
If you see inequities, you can speak to your coworker, take it up the management chain, those are your calls. Again, remember why you accepted this teaching/instruction assignment in the 1st place.

rebuke that spirit of hate and jealousy, pray that her confidence increases and clarity is in her heart to see the effects of her demeanor. Be wise and tactful in how you handle her... she is simply intimidated by you and possibly upset that she can't phase you... so don't let her. Honestly, in hindsight you might discover you remind her of her ex and she's working out of pure emotion instead of profession. So keep yourself in check, evaluate her work relations and who you CAN talk to and go with an unbiased, impersonal intention of correcting the issue with the school and students as the focus. Sometimes good slick-tivity is necessary. Try to obtain a reward or recognition of sorts that will testify to your position or contribution and pull that out in defense IF need be when you express your concerns and proclaim your validity. Tread lightly. Keep in mind.... this could also be the beginning of a message for you to remove yourself from the situation... especially if it gets nasty. Which, foolish women are known for manifesting terrible blowups. She's clearly not on your level and she certainly won't let you elevate. Someone's got to go. Be wise, patient, tactful and professional.
that is not fair to you or the students. If necessary you might ask the Principal about what your role is exactly stating you want to teach the students, too! Good Luck
Don't quit. Try talking to your coworker. AND..
- DOCUMENT EVERYTHING having to do with this project, including any coversations you have with or about her
- Draw up a plan (litterally write out) The "mechanics" of the project: Why talk about the need, including your identified target group, why the need exists, which should back up why the target group is SPECIFIC Make a time line/flow chart Who's gonna deliver what, when, how, when, where, etc THIS THE IMPORTANT PIECE: KEEP YOUR SUPERVISOR EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. The added "Bonus" is that uou now have a format/template (which you can revise as necessary) for future projects. Hope this is helpful
Dorian, Explain to me more clearly your concerns: I am an academic adviser w/ more than 48 yrs. of on - the - job experience & 'teacher training'. Maybe I can help! Don't leave yet ... 'talk to me'! Dr. Doris! Looking to hear from U...soon.
