Started my new job monday and naturally the people I work with we’re asking about myself and my family. In conversation they asked me and I told them the name of school my youngest attends (a private one). He got really angry (manager) and went into a huge monologue of things like “I went to uni with some privately educated people and they were thick”, “how much money do you even have to afford this?”, “I think people who send their kids private just have money to burn”. His comments really upset me, I didn’t say anything and he kept me an extra 45 minutes after when I was supposed to leave to keep telling me all this.
my child has needs and didn’t cope in mainstream like her older 2 siblings. We decided to do this for her not for any prestigious reasons. She is absolutely thriving. I’m really upset at his comments. Other people in department were not there and they seem nice, shall I mention to them how upset I was and hopefully it should get to him somehow? I’ve decided to leave after trial probation (6 weeks).
