Too busy to be fired. Not valuable enough to be promoted. Too old to change schools.

parents brought in breakfast burritos for teachers to show appreciation. School posts a picture of a group eating them. Number of people in the picture that are teachers: zero 😂

Our retention plan for junior faculty is to overburden them with service work so they can’t publish their way out of here.

I'm not saying my school and community is unsafe but my refugee student just called it quits and headed back to Ukraine. This is after one of my undocumented students declared that she didn't feel safe here and moved back to El Salvador

Teacher:
Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson!
Student:
Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok
Administrator:
Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

When recruiting new students, please refrain from telling our applicants to go to their first choice. You aren’t helping.

We need to correct some misinformation floating around campus. We didn’t take power away from the faculty senate. They never had any power.

The school I'm not allowed to design anything for (I just facilitate and grade) sent me an award notification for teaching excellence.
Me: ...
New email 2 minutes later: We're sorry, some people were mistakenly notified--
Me: THERE it is.

Our uni sent out some DEI stuff about minorities and women...after telling us that our department's lone TT woman and our lone TT African American were set to be terminated due to "restructuring."

Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them.
@AmericanAir baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡

One of my students walked with me to office hours yesterday. When I opened the door, he said: “This is it? Then where does all of our tuition money go?” 😅

I'm aware that you have 5 more students than available desks, but I still can't let you take any desks from the unused classroom next door.

A co-worker tested positive for Covid on Monday. She notified admin and was told we no longer have a Covid policy - you either come to work with a mask or you use leave. So she came to work yesterday, wearing a paper mask, and then attended a district level PD.
And so it begins.

You misunderstood us when we told you we valued quality teaching. This means that students are happy with the course, not that they learned something useful. Now go make your students happy!

My college has established a "leadership center."
They have not, as yet, explained to anyone I know exactly what a leadership center does or why one needs or wants such a thing, but there it is.
Tada! Let there be leaders.
