I am getting a new boss this school year and feeling apprehensive. My old speech coordinator was really chill and very supportive. I know sometimes being in education it can really make or break the job if you have someone who has your back. Trying to calm myself down but I just keep imagining the worst. Has anyone gone through something similar? I need someone to tell me it will be okay lol!

It will be ok.👌

I am starting year 37 and have seen both ends of the spectrum. Be open minded. Listen to their vision. If it is “student centric,” jump on board, even if the vision and process differs from yours. First, it might be better than yours. Second, that “got your back” mentality goes both ways. Give their plans a chance to work. I’m not saying to follow blindly, but make sure to point out potential minefields and provide pathways through them. Be a team player and show your value to the team. This year I start principal #4 in four years and in each introduction meeting, the one thing they all said they remembered and liked me saying was this: “I will fight for what I think is best for my students, my program, and myself. I will offer my advice and suggestions. But when all is said and done, you’re the principal and I will follow your direction.”

You’ve got this. Good luck!👍

Well first off, congratulations on starting year 37! That is amazing! And thank you so much for the advice and very timely reminders. Definitely helps me feel better about uncertain times ahead.

First time I'm going through a supervisor change so I hope it turns out for the best. I think I've calmed down a bit more since I posted and just trying to stay positive.

It is going to all work out🙂

Thank you! I hope so. *Takes Deep Breath*

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?
