This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday.

@rufustheduck
Good old Max. What department did you work in?

@rufustheduck Ugh. Sorry to hear that. SO glad the managers are okay 🤬 I hope you will be, too.

Gosh, Max is handsome.

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
He's really amazing. Has he yet produced sime kittens to replace him?

@rufustheduck

That really sucks.
Max is very cute, though 🥰

@elliek English as a foreign language

@rufustheduck good luck. Max thinks you will find a way through this.

@rufustheduck I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully Max gave you some extra cuddles today.

@rufustheduck Damn, that's bullshit. I'm sorry. 🫂

@rufustheduck Damn, words can't describe how sorry I am for you. Max is really gorgeous by the way.

@rufustheduck So sorry to hear this. Max is concerned. I suppose you can't start something with other teachers laid off?

@rufustheduck Sorry, hope you can find new job

Tagging with #GetFediHired in hopes that it might help!

@rufustheduck Sympathies, last place I worked the directors and senior managers made an arse of it. Of course they remained while a whole section of the company and dozens of us who actually had done our jobs well were all paid off. Fortunately it eventually lead me to a much better job at a place I love, hope similar happens for you, but it's still a kick in bum when this happens

@rufustheduck I'm so sorry to hear that. There's not much I can do to help, but I just subscribed to your podcast.

@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.

@anotheridiotontheweb thank you. And he is, isn't he?

@elliek it's a great teacher who's willing to get on the floor to properly communicate an idea

@rufustheduck I mean, all cats are gorgeous, but black cats are really fascinating.

@rufustheduck I am sorry for this bullshit stress on you and the way our systems are absolutely butchering educators' job prospects. F'n bananas. I hope you have or can find a path forward soon.
