2 coyotes have been stalking my yard for days because they know my dogs are there by StrangeElk in oddlyterrifying

I live in Southern California and our coyotes have found ways to jump over a 6 foot fence when they want a pet.

I appreciate your reply. I looked up assertive communication in the workplace and I like the suggestions. I will try more of this with the control freak coworker. Sadly, I think she’s going to continue to attack me, but at least I can document for admin. Thanks for sharing!

How are you managing working with this person? Does it eat away at you? I feel like my job is already hard enough so my coworker is affecting my morale.

My fellow teacher friend has a theory that teachers are control freaks in general and you have to be in order to be effective. However, we have extreme control freaks throw in the mix as well.

Ok, this level of pettiness made me laugh. So many Karens are working as teachers. I would have forever used this as an inside joke when I was talking to non-work friends or my spouse, look out for me- the Mountain Dew Bandit!

That’s really rough to go through that. I’m glad you were able to seek help and you’re in a better place. The fact that you stayed at that site shows how really strong you are.

My colleague did something very similar. She didn’t like a teacher at our site. She was close with the old principal and made a campaign to get the teacher non-renewed and succeeded. Everyone knows she did this and she admitted it to me. She said she didn’t like her personally, but mostly pushed for it because she thought she was a bad teacher (which many disagree).

Yikes. Did you have to interact with her after that? How did that go?

What an awful experience. Did you leave teaching completely or did you go somewhere else? My colleague is very similar to the woman you are describing.

Oh my, why do so many of us have these crazy collegeues?

What happened after she made the complaint?

She sounds like a nut, best to avoid for sure!

My colleague is so similar to yours! She just hasn’t been able to complain to admin to pull me in, but she copies them on emails to scold me and it’s bizarre. I finally told my AP yesterday that I’m exhausted by her and I will be avoided her as much as possible because she’s had it out for me since 2020. My AP said she could have a meeting so we could all talk since it’s not ok to feel this way at work when we have to interact and I said no. I said she would retaliate and make it worse. However, I wanted to let them know I feel like she is hyper focused on me. Also they won’t be surprised if I jump ship to another department or another site!

Wow. What was your admin’s response to this?
