Re: Seniority
Good point - seniority stinks. I have to employ the person with the highest seniority even if they are not the best person for the job just like Britain in the 80's.
__________________ Sparky I probably should keep my thoughts to myself but this thread hit a nerve :unsure: I work for the school district as an EA, I have to work 8 months + 20 consecutive days to become a regular employee rather than a temp......not counting weekends, school holidays & public holidays. You have to be on the 'sub' list first and go to different schools on a day to day basis unless you are lucky enough to get a 'long term temp assignment'. I started last September, subbed 'till October then got offered a job until June of this year as they wanted someone with training in ASD. It's been a pretty tough year, 3 violent assaults against me, 1 threat of violence and more 'time out' than I can remember!! The boy I worked with (severe Autism, severe behaviour.......their description, not mine:blink:) had been through many EA's before me & not one of them had seen a semester through with him :(. I was 15 days short at the end of June so have to go back on the sublist for September............whats really bloody annoying is that someone more senior took the job 3 weeks before me then went on to long term sick when he took a pop at her!! If I'd had those 3 weeks I would be regular staff now :curse: Even more annoying is that the few like that who take the p*ss will get the chance to work with him again, which will do him no good at all!! His mum was really happy with the way the year had progressed & wrote to the director of student services to ask if I could work with him for 1 more year as it's transition to high school year..........the answer, no sorry, it will go to someone more senior. Sorry, I should stop ranting.........maybe I can be a senior ranter!! ;) |
