Never call these maniacs “leaders”. They are managers. Also, HR is to protect the managers and not the employees. IMO, move on. I dealt with the same thing in my last job. They will find a way to get rid of you even if you are made of pure gold. It isn’t worth your mental energy to waste precious time trying to fight it. I’m a fighter too but at 60 I can’t tilt at windmills. I pick my battles.

It's less about me, and more about hoping the district would do SOMETHING to reprimand this woman so that the other cooks would have an easier time of it. Lord knows I certainly don't have the time to waste on her.🤦‍♀️

Sam, I know how terrified you probably are. It takes balls and so much courage to stay true to yourself even at the cost of employment.

I have so much faith in you. I really want to believe the universe is on your side and all the stepping stones are being laid out for you. 😊

Farm on, Farmer Sam!!!!

When we talk about conservation, we usually think in broad terms, habitats lost, niches disappearing. But it’s always more sobering when you look case by case, species by species

I worked as an educator for 20 years, I get it. You can only take so much bureaucracy and inaction for so long. Really good people leave because of the nonsense, and oftentimes the ones who really don’t belong get moved around or promoted. I wish you the best on your journey!
