my former supervisor that i still work with has been out over a month with all day morning sickness. Pretty bad, and she is back part time now. overall my relationship with her has improved, she took care of some things as soon as she came back and i am always hopeful for positive workplace.
so we were in a committee meeting that she has been on, but we have been working in her absence of course. we made some decisions and are moving forward with plans. So the big training project coming up for the beginning of the new school year takes a lot of planning and we have a working outline. this is my best working committee honestly, the facilitator (another supervisor) stops and gets all voices into the process, we get a lot of real work done without over-processing, we all have maturity to know that it won't be exactly our way, just a great team. So we caught her up, she asked several questions. within the first 10 minutes of the first meeting back she announces that her grouping of schools (which includes 4 of us in this meeting) will not be participating in the required training event we have spent planning. Just no, not enough like what she thought we should do.
what?!?!? so we then spent a large chunk of time walking through what the plan was, how we could adjust the day to be acceptable, pushing back on some points, (her ideal is an introverts nightmare, someone else actually said it instead of me for a change) and maybe she has been talked down. but when you give a committee a task you should respect the work in my opinion,
Still i am again encouraged that i am glad i didn't get that supervisor job, this is part of the tension in the supervisor team, very uncomfortable
