Boss trouble should I quit???
Find answers to your legal question.





Boss trouble should I quit???

I work in daycare (15 mo.-2 1/2yr. old) there are 16 children in my class and 4 teachers.

We had an off day and the children were going crazy ie this is a high energy room not to mention we have 2 new children and they cry off and on for their parents

So my boss comes in and suggests something and because shes not in the room all the time she doesn't know how it runs and what type of a day we are having. so she suggests somethings that wouldn't really work and so I said that sounds like a good idea but it doesn't really fit in with the way that we do things.

basically we would have to do circle time 4 times in 1 hour and we have so much more to do than that (projects, 1 circle time, sensory table, simple math, ect.)

that's when she flew off the handle and started yelling at me and then later said that she wasn't yelling at me that she was yelling over the children.

My boss dosent really like it when you have your own opinion and she is kind of a control freak.

this isnt the first time this has happened when I first started I was in the infaint room (first time ever being with babys so I was just learning everything.) and she started yelling at me about infaint water I didnt know you needed special water keep in mind that the lead teacher was on maternity leave. and No one told me about this and I got the a$$ end of it.

well basically I wanted to know should I stay or should I go?

we have a lot of negative energy in the room as it is between co-workers and then she comes in and starts yelling at everyone.

jobs are easy to find................
unemployment is almost nonexistent........................
so of course you should just quit!.
OR
try talking in a rational manner with your employer, explain your concerns and feelings and try to resolve the issues. communication is a great tool when used. if there is no resolution to be found then and only then seek new employment.

I have a lot of opinions about your question, but let's get to the bottomline. If you aren't happy there, for any reason, leave. But we cannot make that decision for you.

Now, if you want to know if you are right and your boss is wrong, consider this: There are only two rules in the job world:

Rule #1 -- The boss is always right.
Rule #2 -- When you know the boss is wrong, refer back to Rule #1 before doing anything more.

I would start looking elsewhere. It's hard to work for a boss like that, but don't quit till you find a new job. I know it's hard but you do need that income and to use that place as a reference (just say you want something closer to your home or that you'll looking for a better organization to learn under, don't bad mouth the place you're at now in an interview, that looks bad). I think you'd be able to find another job soon since you already have experience and they always seem to advertise for your position. Good luck! Oh, and when your boss yells and flys off the handle like that, just stare at her, keep quiet, look at her like the crazy person she is and then just do what she wants you to do. She can't yell at you for that! She wants a reaction out of you so don't give it to her!

Um, what daycare did you say you worked at? Just want to be sure that I don't send my precious little ones there!

Seriously, what you describe is an unhealthy environment not only for you, but the children that you are charged to supervise and teach. If what you describe is a pattern, then it may be a good idea to have a professional conversation with your boss and if possible an HR person if that is a different person in your organization. Even if you do decide to leave, it would do the organization well to conduct an exit interview with you so you can be specific about your concerns and unhappiness. At least they will have the information to make effective change if they desire.

It's not good that she was yelling. Being around children she should learn to control her temper. I bet if the parents knew she would fly off the handle like that they would remove their children. Sounds like maybe you should also. If a boss yelled at me like that I'd tell them where to shove it. That's just not good etiquette to be a boss and talk to your employees like that. I'd leave, but that's me. Heck I would've walked out right then and there when she yelled at my face. Good luck in whatever you decide.
