As a teacher, The work itself isn’t hard and that’s not what’s weighing on me. It’s the people I work with. Because of the union structure, promotions happen based on time served rather than performance, which I understand is part, IIf this were a private company, I would’ve let some of them go based on their lack of ability. Overall, there’s little accountability, and it’s created a toxic culture. Advice on dealing with this?

If your objections to the company are rooted in a structure that can't be changed it doesn't seem like there are many options. You can either ignore your objections or move on to another organization. If you're working with lackluster characters and it impacts your work, you might be able to coach them and get them to improve. If their bad performance doesn't impact you, just do a good job and let them sink or swim.

Unions are a blessing and a curse. Huge help when you need power behind to make better choices, but things like strict promotions are the drawback. Do you feel like you’d lose out on some good aspects of being in a non-union job? Or would it even out?
