Pros
The kids, and only the kids. However, APL is aware of that and will exploit your attachment and use it to gaslight and shame you for taking care of yourself instead of the learners. Yes, even during a pandemic.
Kontras
Where do I begin? For one, several members of the salaried administrative team have actively used micro-aggressions and have been blatantly disrespectful and racists to hourly staff of color, specifically one with tenure. This had been reported several times but nothing was done about it, not even the Board of Directors took action when notified. Secondly, in WA State hourly workers are legally mandated to take two ten minute breaks AWAY from your clients. The number of times I wasn’t allowed to take these breaks shouldn’t be higher than the number of times I was able to. But it is, and this is wage theft. Third, the unprofessionalism exhibited by supervisors who not only bullied staff with tenure working beneath them, they bullied staff who stood up to her or the subordinate she is dating. Do better.
