I posted about my boss last week.
We work in healthcare, and in the autumn I had college students on placement with me for 6 weeks. It takes a lot of time and paperwork. We agreed that I’d have them in autumn and summer, and my boss would have them in spring.
They started placement today with my boss. My boss only works 4 days a week, so I said they can shadow me on the other day. Fair enough.
My boss works Mondays, but today she was doing admin.
I was really surprised because she went home at lunch to do work there.
its meant to be her day of work, and her students, yet I was lumped with them for the afternoon. Not that I mind them, but I had a non stop schedule and of course I don’t want to leave them in the lurch so I spend time chatting to them and discussing my sessions with them.
I just found it so completely unfair. We agreed to divide the placements and this time it wasn’t a split placement. Now I’m basically taking on 2.5 placements this year.
And of course she pockets the money for it.
An I being unreasonable or over dramatic?
