I have a small job at college as a drug and alcohol educator. I absolutely love my job. I teach classes and put together workshops to discourage drinking and driving. I'm a very people oriented person and I love public speaking. I've also been doing this job for three years now, so I have quite a bit of experience.
At the beginng of this school year, the program switched hands and I got a new boss. New people were also hired to work with me and one of them is the coordinator, which means she is my superior. I really didn't have any problems with this set up, but recently this new coordinator has been hitting a raw nerve!
I recently made another post about how she was rude in emails to me over winter break. Today I had to make a presentation about alcohol to a bunch of students from greek organizations. This new girl continually interrupted me while I was trying to give instructions about the pre test as she was "chatting" with her little greek friends. I had asked if she wanted to do a portion of the class, but she ended up not doing anything. Then, while I was showing the movie for the class, she continually texted and chatted with other people in the class. After the class was over, I gave her a bunch of clean up things to do and she had the nerve to tell me it was "ok" with her if I texted during the movie because I have seen it so many times. I told her that I do not like texting during the movie because it gives the impression to the students that it is ok for them to text. It's just so unprofessional!
In the beginning of the presentation, she did the introductions and when she started she said "I know you probably don't want to be here because this is a boring program. You'd probably all rather be drinking." To me that was not funny at all. We are supposed to be discouraging this behavior! not making jokes about it.
So really the only reason I am typing this is because I am frustrated. I don't think I will say anything about it because I don't want to cause problems. I really like my job. I do know that this girl has continually gone behind my back to the boss and complained about every little thing I have done. I have not said anything to my boss except one time when I was not receiving important info from this girl because she was texting it to us. I just really feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place!
My room mate keeps telling me to quit my job, but quite frankly I do need the extra cash. I also like my job, but I needed to vent my frustrations to someone! You lucky BYCers get to hear it all LOL
