Do you find yourself struggling more with anxiety and depression due to adults in the school? I LOVE my job with the kids, but the atmosphere that has come in the last 2 years (new principal) stinks!

so far I like my administration for the most part but I'm feeling like the adults around me make my job harder and not easier. i don't feel part of a team. i don't feel like we share a common philosophy. it's jarring.

Yes. I’ve had to create work boundaries. No taking work home or responding to ridiculous demands from admin. Stand your ground. You’re a professional with a degree.

Yes, I feel the same way.

Yes! I had to take stress leave for the first time in 15 years and it wasn’t because of the kids.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?
