At my school it depends on number of classes and students taught

500 for the year

O. We buy everything on our own. Can’t even rely on my students to bring paper/writing utensils either

Depends if there are any “left over” unspecified funds left over. Our principal has been giving staff about $250 per teacher. This year with budget cuts due to an increase in our salaries, she said there may not be any monies left over. 😢

We usually get $175 to start the year, $50 at Christmas and sometimes through various competitions/awards we get more. Our principal, though, is really good to continually ask if we need anything and if so, she’ll send us to get it on the school’s dime

$200

We select supplies monthly from a list.
Some items are inferior, so I buy my own.

I’m a mid level engineer and my team is overwhelmed. There’s more work than we can complete in the timelines that leadership/product has committed to, which is causing leadership to override technical decisions seemingly to meet those deadlines. An example would be routing all live traffic to a feature which was not fully tested, instead of waiting until testing is complete or having that change be dormant and the feature enabled later. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

I became a mom and four months down, head of new business (guy) in my company and the HR (lady) interviewed me for an exec leadership role. Obviously I was excited for the interview but…. the interview went well with the guy and I felt the role was made for me. However, the lady kept bringing back the topic that ‘I am a mom and need to focus on my family’ again and again and again. Honestly it was unnerving. The feedback I received from HR (lady) was we felt you won’t be able <cont. in comments>
