How do you handle working with teachers that give very little back to the profession, don’t appear to like children and any interactions are negative or gossipy? And they are in your grade level

I was an instructional coach for the past 3 years. I won’t lie. It’s rough. My efforts to be positive in the face of negative attitudes really paid off. Several came to me to ask how I did something. One was so rude constantly I just wrote her off and had as little contact as possible

I really struggle with this as well. I agree with both of the other replies in this thread. I try to focus exclusively on my classroom, and try to offset their negativity with as much positivity as I can muster 😁

It’s tough but I agree to focus on positively. Maybe even speak with your admin about it. I’ve had to speak frankly about another colleague to my principal who didn’t seem to realize they were being that negative. It helps to have admin support especially when this negativity is in the class with children

I think the hardest part with this is when others in your grade level are giving their all. You feel bad for the students in that one class that always miss out on the “extra” stuff because it takes effort and that one teacher will not give it.

Often feel betrayed by my Ps when they question my work in front of the client, only to be proven otherwise. Happened many times and I don’t know how to change this - my integrity and work quality is questioned publicly and after much due diligence it gets proven that I did really good. What do I do?

Found out today my toxic manager bad mouthed me to an HR rep in a different division. This correlated with his bad management and abusive behavior. Luckily the new manager I’ll soon be working with dismissed it. Her words of wisdom “reflect on what you could have done differently, you can only control your actions”. How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

A guy who used to be on my team resigned a few weeks ago for another opportunity. I ran into his new boss socially and told them I was really impressed with how this guy was handling the drug bust and battling his heroine addiction during this career change. It shows real grit. That’s what wishing the best for others looks like.

What is the worst reaction you’ve had after giving your notice? I just gave notice and I have never had a boss that tried as hard to make me change my mind as this one. Offered me basically anything I wanted.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬
