Not sure it’s for me

Hi!

One of the main reasons unfortunately educators leave is because of the bitchiness and bullying that goes on in a centre because of staff. It's such a shame that women can't get along with one another and have to result to gossiping, lying, ganging up on others, picking sides and more.

I have learnt that you shouldn't take anything personally and that you need to have thick skin. Just let others talk and bitch... in one ear and out the other.. don't react...

If you're already thinking about quitting and looking into something else then your heart isn't really into it. If you're not enjoying it then move on... do only what makes you happy.

As for your daughter, if you leave it shouldn't affect her enrolment. However, it may be a little awkward for you to go to the centre where you had previously worked to pick up your daughter.

Before leaving though, just make sure you have another job to go to. So in the meantime look for other work and possibly another centre for your baby then give your notice.

I’ve experienced the same kind of environment and it really drains you when the focus shifts to gossip and cliques instead of the children and the job itself. You can try to ignore it, but over time it still takes a toll. In my view, it’s more about a toxic workplace culture than individuals. If you’re already thinking of leaving, that feeling usually doesn’t go away on its own. Just make sure you’ve got another role lined up first so the transition is smoother.
