The worst thing about the Ring Leader being such a shitty leader is that she doesn't actually take responsibility for anything that is happening, including actually fucking talking to me or sharing ANY of the decisions she makes about Clown School. Unless she sends out some random message in the staff group chat, she leaves it to other minions to share the bad news.
I spoke to the associate principal, who said the "plan" is to keep me in my classes until the end of the semester in January and then move me. I have spoken to my family and to my associate with the company I've signed up with to find a new job (which I already planned for 2024-2025 school year), and they have given me reassurances that if I feel leaving is the best for my health, then I should go. The associate is also looking into resources for me because the bullshit reason that Ring Leader is giving for moving me is due to deficiencies in my teaching practice, but she isn't abiding by the contract and taking steps to help me improve, so she is in breach of contract.
This means my plan is to finish the semester. I'll go home at Christmas and see my family and my best friend and take home some of my stuff, come back for a week to administer finals (which I may or may not grade before I go, depending on timing), spend a week cleaning up my apartment, go to the job fair in Hong Kong, and then go home. My mom is considering coming over to help me carry stuff back and also see Taiwan since she won't be able to come for Spring Break.
I really like Taiwan, aside from the heat and humidity. I do not like being sweaty all the time, but the place itself is really cool. I hope my mom can come because I want to show her a few of my favorite things. I probably won't be able to go back down to Kaohsiung or Tainan because I need to save money from my few remaining paychecks, but I think I'll take a few of my sick days for mid-week trips to Taipei.
IDK. I'm really sad and angry about this whole situation, but truly you cannot reason with such a pathological narcissist, so I'm not going to try. I also talked with one of my good friends who was in a similar situation last year. She was able to end the school year and break her contract in June, and thankfully she found another job within a month. I'm confident I will be able to find something for the 2024-2025 school year. I just don't know where I'll be. I'll sub for the rest of this year when I go home. That way I won't have any contracts to potentially break, and I will get a little break from grading and planning. Maybe I'll make a dent in my TBR pile.
This whole situation is so unbelievably shitty, but I feel better now that I have a plan. And who knows? There are still three months for the Ring Leader to do the right thing, and I might finish the year. We'll see. I have my resignation letter ready.
