McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Pray about it and look for other opportunities. I left after being with the same principal for about four years due to some of the above problems. I returned to the same school a year later due to new administration and a few new staff members. Don’t be afraid to try a new environment. I loved the other school and was treated like royalty. The principal told me that if things didn’t work out I could definitely come back.
Thanks. It just really sucks. There aren't many positions open with the salary I'm making. I just brought a home and I need this salary to stay the same or increase. I'm doubting all my abilities as an educator. After the pandemic, and still consistently getting sick and suffering with long term COVID effects. I wanted OUT the classroom. I wanted to become an AP, but now I don't think I should. It's unfortunate my "team" are all women and are just so toxic to be around.
I’m probably going to give you advice you may not want to hear. First, let me say if you’re really uncomfortable, there is no shame in finding a place where you are comfortable.
As a teacher with almost three decades in the classroom, I’ve been in your position as a new teacher and in some of your current team teacher’s position. Perhaps this is not the case at all, but often times when new teachers join more experienced teachers, they feel like they have something to prove. They offer suggestions that experienced teachers have tried but don’t work. Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with offering suggestions, but if your entire team isn’t on board, it’s not because they don’t like you. As a new teacher I took this as a slight on my character. I acted as if they didn’t want to participate in my ideas because they were older and didn’t want to change. As a master teacher now, I can see that I acted like I had much more experience than I actually had. It made me look pompous and inflexible. Im not saying your like this. I’m only saying how this could be looking to your current team. I didn’t ask any questions of them when I clearly didn’t know the answers because I wanted them to view me as an equal. Just remember, we’ve all been where you are. After the same experience your having, I bit the bullet and asked my team at the end of the year how I could have been a better teammate and teacher. They gave me lots of suggestions, but in a kind and constructive way. Even though we have all now retired (me recently!) I always look back on that situation and try to share my experience with new teachers. I would also say that the first five years of teaching were the most difficult. There are many things college doesn’t teach about the teaching profession overall. Also, it’s not the job of admin to make sure that you’re getting along with your team. Are you expecting that they should call your team in and give them a lecture on being nice to you? That just is not reality in this job. Even if you don’t like them, it doesn’t matter. Adults are expected to work together regardless of personal feelings.
With all that said, examine the part you played in the situation you’re having. Be honest with yourself. If after you still think this can’t work, ask for reassignment to another building if one is available. Know that while you are prepared to handle this job, as educators, we are always learning. ❤️❤️

☝️ Excellent advice!
You may still be feeling the effects of the “what makes her so much better” jealousy/bitterness of teachers who were on the same level as you and now see you as “above” them. Some of them may have applied for the same job you got and maybe didn’t even get an interview. And now you’re making suggestions and coaching them, so it may be a tough situation for them as well.
It’s always difficult to be promoted and stay at the same place. You could try a new school for a new perspective. Or, if you really like where you’re at, you could stay steady, hold the course, be fair, be helpful, be relatable, be open to suggestions and criticism, and they may settle in and realize that you’re good at your job.
Just remember to keep admin in the loop and ask them for feedback so some teacher doesn’t complain and you are blindsided.
If you don't feel like you're a good fit there then there's no shame in looking for something else. If they aren't respecting you then why should you stay? An environment like that does not cultivate growth and there's a good chance you will be bullied and stagnate. If you feel like it's time to go then do that, there are other opportunities out there. Good luck.
I know how you feel. People who are jealous will only fight against you.
MSRS1-I’m confused by your comment. Who is jealous?
I am with you on this. I was given the team leader position. Two-thirds of the team are loyal to the previous team leader, and I get push-back on almost everything
That happened to me as well. I stayed at the same school, but went back in the classroom. It was one of the best decisions of my life!
Tends to happen, promotion puts you on display of personal closeted resentment. Keep at it for your career path, stay until *you* are ready to move on next step. They can be jerks but they have no control over your career.
NV, I hear you about being run like a fast food restaurant. It’s sad, really sad.
I guess it is kind of like a former employer told his team. "Be watchful, because higher up you are on the ladder the more your A-- is exposed!"
