Before this meeting, I took a lot of rest. I read the posts in the system of my company. I the notes from my supervisor, I was called a client, and I had to undertake action to get a new position as a principal. Because of the notes, I read about job openings on my board. Also, knowing that I wasn’t able to go to work yet.
When we met due Zoom, I thought I was prepared. I wasn’t… My supervisor had a plan. He also had a school I could do my work as a principal. An application and a meeting with the MR would be enough to get the job. He would make sure the team was behind me working as a principal at that school. He also had planned that I had a colleague principal coaching me. She had also to do two performance reviews and two assessment interviews with me in a period of seven months. If I didn’t do good, he would kick me out. If we couldn’t work with trust, it was me that was the problem. I agreed with the proposition because I felt I had no other choice, although I knew this was out of line and not aligned with our statutory collective labor agreement. At the end of the conversation, me not able to work yet wasn’t mentioned. I told them I wasn’t able to start working after the spring break. They told me to go to a company doctor for an appointment already scheduled.
After this conversation, I felt more horrible. I even felt dirty letting this man and women from the Human Relations department into my home due Zoom. I got a report from that meeting, the women from the Human Relations department made. I was paralyzed; I wasn’t able to respond properly. I wrote everything down during and after the meeting so that I couldn’t forget. At that time, I also had terrible headaches.
Even if I couldn’t work, I tried to do what my supervisor told me. I had to pass this and get over it. So I started to walk with crutches directly and daily. I was worn out after a short walk. But if he wanted me to be there after spring break, I had to do something.
