Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 hI Alchoss - left me in a difficult position, I had to join my 2 baby rooms together, which is really starting to annoy the staff and parents are starting to grumble, but I cant justify getting agency staff in (at an extortionate price) when I might have a "spare" member of staff in another room I could use................my ops manager would have my guts for garters!!! Flouts everything to do with the EYFS, KPA etc but sometimes needs must and it is acknowledged that KPA doesn't work 100% of the time, as Manager's we should have a second job as a circus performer - namely a juggler - as we seem to spend alot of our time doing just that! I always try very hard not to use agency staff, not just because of the expense but because its not fair on the children as they dont know the person, unless they are regulars, not fair on the regular staff in the room, and although its their choice its not fair on the agency staff as quite often they get to do the mundane jobs of tidying up, wahsing the dishes etc. HERE WE GO TIME TO JUGGLE AGAIN!!!

beth1 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Update again. Err to but it bluntly I have really in essance had my hand forced to hand in my notice. They were going to dismiss me for constanly being off ill (not even going to say much more there), so got the choice to stay and get Occupational Health or leave so I have chosen the latter. I hope I can get a new job soon but in the meantime I will have to manage on supply! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they wanted me since day one. Beth Sorry Beth, my reply was to hali who is also thinking about moving on..we hijacked your post for a moment - sorry! It sounds to me as though you;ve made the right choice already - fingers crossed that something permanent turns up soon but as you say, no hurry if there's supply work available. It means that you can afford to wait for the right job for you - good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sorry to hear the 'beaming smile' approach didn't work Beth1. Hali, have you tried the 'beaming smile' approach? (maybe best not answer that one eh) The fact that you 'feel better' Beth, shows you made the right decision for you, best of luck for future interviews.

Chill Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The job is there for you - you just have to find it. Something with security, flexibility and which will value and appreciate you. Something which will give you the confidence, development and support for your studies. Something which will not over stretch you and leave you energy for your foundation degree. It is out there somewhere. Good luck Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
