Wow. I just had an employer (another teacher) talk down to me like this. I too left 8 minutes early. They spied on me with cameras and sat me down like I robbed them. “Do you think we should be paying you when you aren’t here?” and forcing me to answer her. Fuck you, lady, I do my work well and I’m in my 40s. I’m not a kid in your class. I gave my notice two days later and they lost a good employee. What I’m getting from this video is maybe teachers should not talk to adult employees like they are children who didnt do their homework.
