I'm a principal. I get to manage overworked teachers, angry parents and disrespectful kids. It's not all bad though. There are always times when things click for a kid, family or teacher and it's all worth it.
6 days ago. I was fired from a private school for not demanding $100 from a single mom on food assistance when we're getting over $10,000 to support her child from the government. The higher ups know exactly what I did and are appalled that I got fired but won't intervene because "it's not their role".
Or if you're a generation older, the story goes like this.
The year is 2000. You work at Blockbuster. A man and his child are picking out 2 movies for the weekend. A drunk old man wearing only a bathrobe approaches the counter and loudly asks where we keep the pornos. The man and his child quickly nope out of there and you're left dealing with the drunk.
