Anyone else just exhausted by the daily bitchy horror show? Led by the boss so…🫤

I’m never going over the threshold again. Fuck it. I’m taking a flask of hot water and hiding in the loo or my car or the cupboard. Been off work for a bit and coming back has reminded me of how shite it is.

It’s not just me, is it? Lots of you have this?

Our staff room is lovely.

I knew it’d be teaching! Not all of them but I tend to find teachers generally belong to the same tribe - middle class, slightly basic, slightly bitchy, keep up with the Joneses types. Avoid!

I get hot water for my tea and 🏃‍♀️

The way they spoke about the parents was bad enough. Staff rooms are shit boxes.

I worked in a school many moons ago and was told by a colleague to avoid the staff room because “They gossip about everything and what they don’t know, they make up”. Turns out she was right, and I avoided it.

New school needed! Threads like this make me realise how incredibly lovely my colleagues are. Find somewhere new!

I have no idea what you mean, but when I was doing my teaching practice, I loved the children, but hated the teaching staff.

This is precisely why I never venture in there.
They're always full of silly cunts that have 'their' seat so don't you dare sit in it and then they hold court with their little clique.
Bore off 😴
Don't care if I'm the topic though, clearly means I'm interesting enough to talk about...
