It was the last day before Christmas break (in the last 2-3 yrs, I’d have to check my notes), and there was a ton of garbage and other stuff to deal with, it's like a free-for-all those days. He stops me in the hall to tell me some teacher's purse is missing and to be on the lookout for it. That's fine, but it seemed like he was subtly implying to look through the trash for it. I purposely gave him the cold shoulder, and was rather short with him. Ending the conversation abruptly telling him Okay, but I had to get going. The context here is the student mess (and overall behavior all year) is a result of him.
The other context is this was a third party relay. I would have responded differently had the teachers whose purse in question was actually looking for it and asked for my help, vs the guy who is at the moment the source of my mess frustration. We had just had a similar third party request earlier in the month from a teacher asking D** if D** or I could give her a jump-start. What not in both cases, ask yourself?
Later I came to find out he talked to my co-worker, asking “have I done something wrong, I was just accosted by S****. Those are his exact words. I find that a rather disturbing stretch of a way to describe it.
That was very childish. She just threw her hands in the air and rolled her eyes at him like you have got to be kidding me.
Turns out the purse was found, and it was a student that took it.
I can't understand how you can be in managment and not be able to take some heat. It makes you wonder if these people in De Pere all lead the charmed life and were raised that way. They certainly don't like it when you aren't stroking their ego. Perhaps its the wealthier community thing, where they were spoiled being brought up. Were never yelled at as children and likely couldn't do anything wrong or something.
Wake up, dumbasses. Respect is earned, don't act like you expect it because you are so-and-so.
