Another crappy day at work. Glad it’s Friday and over with.

I felt like I’m doing everything and none of my coworkers are helping me. In the afternoon I took all 17 kids to the bathroom and some were disrespectful and didn’t listen. I got a scolded at for being “too nice” to them. I was stern. Some kids still don’t like me but I’m doing my best to be patient and kind. My coworkers said, “That’s karma for you. Now you know how it goes when you don’t get help from others.” I said hi to some of my coworkers but I was either ignored or some have me a face. I said good morning to the teacher, she gave a dull “hi” and walked off. One of our other coworkers hasn’t shown up much. We haven’t seen her since Monday. The other coworker, dislikes me as usual. She never talks to me and ignores me when I speak. She only talks to the teacher and the other coworkers. She does care enough to tell me what I need to do to improve. She yelled at me yesterday because I’m not “picking up” on social cues and got frustrated with me because I saw what some students try to do. Some of the kids still prefer the other teachers and kind to them but nasty and act up when it’s me.
So my coworkers think that I’m snobby and dull because I don’t come out and join conversations and gossip. I’m not doing that. They think that I’m selfish and don’t care about the kids but it’s the opposite. I might just think about looking for another job. Maybe. The only thing I do enjoy are the kids and they make me smile.
I work at an autism school and we have 17 kindergarteners.
