Imagining things. As long as you're giving them 3+ months notice, they'll be fine. People are out for maternity/paternity leave all the time, and the agency functions just fine without them.

Family is most important, the agency will be fine without you. As long as you're up front there should be nothing to worry about.

About it, but I keep getting this nagging feeling that they hold it against me at times. I don’t try to negotiate extra paid days off. Just that they give me the time. Am I crazy? Justified? Imagining things?

I feel the same. And some of my coworkers say that they had only a week of vacation this year, and probably need to take more but we have so much work...

Does anyone have sound advice for dealing with nitpicking feedback from a skip-level manager? I'm all for constructive feedback but something tells me that this individual might be out for me. I've worked here for 5+ years, I'm good at what I do and I show interest in my work. The feedback I receive feels out of place.

Any Spec Ed teachers feel like every time you try to get your program running you can’t? I am not in a self-contained class but more of a student drop in resource room where I work in small groups with life skills students who come to me for instruction & then take independent tasks back to class to complete. I have a lot of room to add students to my schedule- but my boss seems to think I shouldn’t be taking on more students but it’s my job to help those struggling students. I’m at a loss.

I record zoom meetings using phone voice memos, or use the timer, to keep a running tally on the amount of time chatty extroverts take up in zoom meetings either talking about random topics before starting or derailing the meeting with non-relevant verbal diarrhea. So far the average for a 30 min meeting when one of these people are on the call is ~5 min to start and ~2.5 min unnecessary swirling/grandstanding.
