This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department
I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock
Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)
This is how shocked Max was when I told him
@rufustheduck
Oh my, Rufus, I'm so sorry to hear this.
@elliek thank you. Max is helping by listening to me complain and absolutely not falling asleep
@rufustheduck
Good old Max. What department did you work in?
@elliek English as a foreign language
@rufustheduck
I taught that! In Finland. In the 70s. I worked for an institute (teaching adults in business) and wasn't supposed to use any of their language. You should have seen my impression of a cobra (snake) when nothing else worked to get them to understand what it was. On the floor, of course! 🐍⚕️
Sorry, I digress.
I'm so sorry. I hope you find something else quickly.
@elliek it's a great teacher who's willing to get on the floor to properly communicate an idea
