I ask for prayer as I’m facing a serious situation at work. I work in public education/mental health and I’ve always spoken against things I’ve seen that put staff or students in danger. Yesterday I followed the same work routine I have and was talked to not once but 3 separate times for a total of 3 hours. I was informed that I was “not a team player” even though I have always put the children and staff 1st. I was told that there was no official protocols to handle crisis situations because “you’re the professional and have to figure that out.” I tried to explain multiple times that I sought counsel but no one gave me official directives so I performed the way I usually do and that I was surprised that until now my work was questioned. I have been transparent from the beginning. I went as far as giving people access to my documents, schedule, training hours, and I’ve sent out emails with suggestions/information but apparently this is not good enough. I’ve also found out that the only person who supported me at the school will not return next year so I feel very alone. I’m concerned for my professional license, job, and students but don’t know what else to do. I was told that I have to make a decision and that they hoped it was the “right one” (translation: I think they want me to quit or they will go after my license but they also haven’t told me anything directly). I feel alone and depressed because everything I have done was to help many of the staff and children (I’m in a low income area so I took it upon myself to find resources and advocate for people’s rights). I’m afraid of what they will do to me at this point and I need divine intervention since I’ve tried to do everything humanly possible to do my job. Please pray for me as I support my elderly parents and help my husband with health benefits through this job. Pray that justice is served because this is not right.
