Does hiring slow down in December as much as people say?? I keep hearing "wait until January," but I have also seen roles posted this week. Iam trying to figure out if I should push hard now or hold back. Is it a real slowdown or just a myth?

It definitely slows down around the holidays. There are tons of people OOO, and most of the ones who remain are in "that's a next year problem" mode. Although I'm not sure you'd really be able to tell the difference right now. Things are so slow already.

I don’t really believe that hiring ever stops. I mean, maybe Christmas week there is a slowdown. But in general, they hire when they need people. And even if they don’t get to it until January, I’d rather my résumé be sitting there, waiting to be read, as opposed to waiting until January to apply and being left behind.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
