Only a week back at work after maternity leave and my wife is already being bullied by that cunt of a headteacher and her new deputy who - surprise, surprise - just happens to be her ex-colleague from another school. They held a meeting during which they humiliated her in front of her department and other assistant deputies. They want my wife and her second in department out of their jobs, despite my wide being an excelent teacher and has the results to prove it. There's an agenda here and it stinks. My wife does not deserve this shit and is at a loss how to handle it.
I'm so pissed off I want to break many things. I want to find this arsehole deputy and slit his throat. I want to find this old bullying crone of a headteacher and kick her in the cunt. Apologies for the crudity but my fingers are shaking as I type this.
FUCKING CUNTING CUNTS!
That sounds awful, it really does.
Does your wife fight back when confronted in these meetings? As she is in the right and has the results showing that she's a good teacher, argue with the head. Now I no that's that's easier said than done, believe me I do, but no one would stand for being bullied in their hone and same goes for the workplace. It's hard to fight with someone over you in work, but if that person is wrong or just an arse then they need to be put to rights. If this sort of thing happens in front of others, she should question it, in front of these same people. Use terms like bullying, make everyone aware of what is going on, involve everyone.
As I say its easy for me to sit here and say this, I'm not in your wife's shoes, but I have worked for dickheads in the past and calling them on there behavior was the best thing I did.
Good luck to your wife and I hope it gets sorted
Cheers, darth, and I understand what you're saying. Essentially this meeting was another ambush and this new head and her deputy - who mysteriously seemed to be in line for the job before there were any other applicants - are the kind of people who simply won't let others talk, especially when they're trying to defend themselves. And we've seen a pattern of consequence here, whereby anybody who does question them becomes a target. My wife was pretty much shocked into submission. Problem is there are all kinds of ways with which a bullying head or deputy-head can make life exceptionally hell for their staff, especially if they're a head of department. Life at work could get even more unbearable and at my wife's school there has already been a mass exodus of teachers who have either fled for their lives, been signed off for stress, or simply coerced out of their jobs by having their spirits crushed. Not a pleasant situation at all.
She's now determined to suck it up. She has contacts with her union for advice and has the support of her department. Attempting to file a grievance with the LEA can be very costly, both financially and career-wise if said grievance fails. She will be looking around for other jobs so there's the understanding that she shouldn't rock the boat until she knows she has a definite way out, especially as she would have to give a fair bit of notice.
At least the summer holidays are coming up, during which she can take stock. I know that deep down she can handle this because she's strong but when your partner/loved one comes home in floods you get the urge to kill.
