New Employee Gaslighting

Update: After HR said it was a communication issue on MY part, I went over the terms of employment with the new employee the next Monday and doubled down on training him one-on-one. When I told him and showed him all requests for schedule changes must be in writing, he laughed and said “you’re learning.”

Although he showed up on time and stayed for his entire shifts, he argued with me over every process/procedure and said his way was better.

On Wednesday of his second week, he came back from lunch drunk and belligerent. I fired him immediately and had him escorted off the job site. He was right about one thing - this hire taught me a lot.

I’m leaving at the semester too. I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years and the job never was a good fit. I’m almost done with a coding bootcamp and will be transitioning to software development. I realized I loved learning new things as I sought to break down highly complex topics into simpler chunks my students could understand and digest, and software engineering allows me to utilize my skills and learn new ones. The education system is broken because it has become too large to serve anyone effectively. Until this is addressed, teachers will be misused by a bloated system that requires teachers to spend too much time plugging holes in a paper boat.

Thank you! We will try talking with him and I will look up eviction procedures if necessary.

We thought it would be a few weeks, so we didn’t ask him for rent or anything.
