Things My Boss Does

That Annoy Me...

-She doesn't type with correct grammar or punctuation. Most of the time it's text talk, and even in group emails it is. Half of the time, I don't have a flipping clue what her directions are because they don't look like English, and I'm a COLLEGE student. I grew up with that language. I think some of the confusion is because her sentences run together. Christ, her words run together. The capitalization is weird too. She spelled out WEDnesday on an email, and I really hate that she has includes my name at the bottom of the emails now. I would really like to look a little more professional.

-She doesn't seem to understand I'm a student. She asks me what my schedule is all the time. It doesn't change, and if it does, it's for studying. "can u do this?" No..I have class. Duh. And then she goes and changes the schedule without consulting me, and acts all put out when I can't work. Not only am I student, but Fridays I play soccer. She constantly jokes, "When are you going to quit school and be full time?" Ha. Never. EVER. I, also, would not like to be living with my parents when I'm your age. *cough*

-She is mean to the kids. Coaches are supposed to be rough sometimes, but you don't call a child lazy and scream at them. She'll cuss under her breath at games, and talk about some violent things she would like to do to them. IT'S JUST SOCCER. They're freaking 10 years old. She gets mad when can't get the moves down, and then she wonders why they can't do them. I always try to address the mistake, reassure them it's okay, show it to them again, and tell the them they'll do it better next time. She doesn't have the patience for that. She's kinda scary. And when she asks me what she needs to do differently, she wonders why I'm extremely hesitant to answer.

Don't get my wrong. Besides her, my job is great. I have super flexible hours, I'm teaching something I love, and I love the kids. Unfortunately, since she is in charge of it all, there's no way I can continue on for more than a half year. I need to move onto bigger and better things. I would really love some professionalism in my next job. Some people choose to be doctors while others choose to be coaches. How you treat people is going to determine how good of a doctor or coach they see you as though.
