No support

This week was very aggravating. I knew that there was trouble to come after having the last 3 weeks go by so well. Since I am at a private Beauty College, I only have to report back to the owner. She has had a lot going on the last couple of weeks and has not really been at school, which makes it a better place without her. She has only stopped by just for a few minutes each day. She doesn't even get out of her car.
I have to bring her the mail, any phone calls she may have had, and anything else that deals with that day. I don't mind helping out every now and then but it has gotten to were she is taking advantage of the situation. She wants me to do the student registrations and contracts which I have told her I do not have time for. I help out as much as possible but it just seems like she keeps adding on to this. I am here to teach and that is taking time away from my students.
The washing machine also broke last week and she said she had another one at home that she was going to bring. She has been taking towels home with her when she comes by for the few minutes each day. You can not take clients without towels. We had several perms and colors on the book Wednesday with only 2 clean towels. I called her and told her that we needed the towels. She said that she had them but they would have to be dried. She didn't have time for that. So she decided she would stop and get some new towels to last until the others got dry. Needless to say, this was 2 1/2 hours later. Once arriving at the school she once again did not get out of the car. She kept asking questions about the school and I told her very frustrated," I didn't have time for this that the students needed the towels now." She called later & told me that if we needed anything that we could go and get the supplies but every time that we do we get the Third Degree. I am very frustrated and angry at the situation. Thanks for letting me vent.

  1. I wish I could make your situation better, but that won't happen until the owner steps up to the plate and takes on her responsibilities. I can't really give you advice other than "hang in there."

    At my school, I struggled with not having a "mentor" that I could ask questions of. Instead, I do the best that I can do and if I get reprimanded I'll be prepared to let them know how I feel about them not offering a mentor to answer all of my questions.

    Why are some things so obvious to us, but to others they are so blind to their own actions or how their actions are affecting others?

    Hope your job gets better for you soon.
