That's right! I want to hear about the bullshit you had to deal with at work this week. Shoutout to those who are working for the weekend and working on the weekend!
This is a work vent thread, if that isn't clear. I might make this a Friday ritual.

I work in education, doing IT. So I'm not in the trenches like the teachers are, but oh boy, the admins decided to shuffle people around to different grades in our elementary school and folks are pissed.
Here is what I know:
Intentional or inept? Or both?
Hard to say because I'm very disconnected from the day to day of teachers but I have a good read of managers and this principal gives me uncool vibes.
Weird, why did they do that?
Punishing someone? Accommodation? Splitting?
Seems to be many things. Dysfunctional grade levels that don't work together. Losing two grade level classes because of low enrollment. This is the building admins 3rd year working in district and probably need to show that they're working on "improving" things. Idk. I do believe I hold some amount of false consciousness about the parties involved. I can't not be skeptical of motives though. This admin set the tone with our department early by making unilateral decisions about student technology without consulting our team. Thankfully that got rolled back after the director talked to them but.
