From the Girl About to be Fired

So, I'm not allowed to do classroom training right now; but they let me do two one-on-one gas remedial trainings today.

I honestly have no idea how you're dealing with this situation. There's really nothing worse than going to work with the fear that you're going to be fired. I was in the situation at the animal shelter I worked at when I was younger -- I had a supervisor who was actively campaigning to have me fired because she had some personal issues with me.

I cannot imagine universe in which you should be fired.

I know, me neither. It's just so puzzlingly off-base.

I just don't know what to think - this is just so bizarre and unfair.

Sounds to me like you're great at what you do! And it sounds like you care about the students as people, which is wonderful and sometimes rare.

Ultimately, my culpability in this matter is not being able to get through to my all students that I care about them as people. I'm not sure why it's not getting through, but it's not ( ... )
