I'm currently in a private school (been there since their Summer camp in 2021). The salary is good, benefits are meh, but the main issue is the unending job description and lack of boundaries. After the other day, the job hit what I call the "Quinfecta". People have been at me after hours during: evenings, holidays, weekends, school "vacations", and now, on our first snow day. Quite honestly, workers there are desperately in need of a union, but that ain't happening anytime soon. I'd like to complete two years there, but I don't want to continue to be exploited.
What do you think? I'm under the impression that non-union schools (particularly charter schools) always want way too much...
'Say What?????' yup true story....Being half asleep, I offered to go watch her kids (she had recently gone thru a pretty miserable divorce and was alone)
Thank goodness for the advent of Do Not Disturb. When I set my phone to DND, the phone will only allow calls through from people on my "favorites" list, which is limited to my immediate family and my very best friends.

yes! It should be under settings > focus > do not disturb
OR if you're using an older phone model it will be settings > do not disturb
You have to fiddle with the settings under Do Not Disturb to specifically allow calls from your favorites (and of course have people in your favorites under your contacts).

My school division is non-union, and I don't get phone calls on my off time unless it is a dire emergency. But then again, I have set boundaries with staff, and parents. If I receive a call it will be from an administrator, and then I know it's serious.

I told them a couple of months back that I was going away this Summer and wouldn't be available for the Summer camp. I had a feeling that they'd still be expecting me to do the prep work without extra pay. (Every time I've worked for camps, I've been paid a lower admin rate during the Spring to work on the files, supplies, etc.)
Don't you know that yesterday the Head of School let me know that I'm expected to do camp prep; there was no mention of being paid for it...
