No Promo Again (TT 25)
I had a very promising interview for an assistant principal position earlier this week. However, I won’t be getting the promotion as I AM NOT A MAN, and this school has four female administrators already. I was told by the principal herself that the region superintendent gave her a directive to hire a man. Since I am feeling a little cynical, I give you ….
13 Reasons I Should Be Getting a Promotion for Christmas Regardless of my Gender
- I am “more than qualified.” – A direct quote in today’s interview
- I am ready.
- I deserve it.
- I believe that all students can learn.
- I have paid my dues.
- I am a natural leader.
- I am creative.
- I am hardworking.
- I am flexible.
- I am dependable.
- I am intelligent.
- I am dedicated to improving education.
- I am worthy.
Santa, I know I have been more naughty than nice this year, but I want to start 2008 in a new position more than anything else you could put under my tree this holiday season.
Sounds good to me!!!!
Merry Christmas!
A friend of mine has a similar situation in her school district so I know how frustrating and unfair all this is. I’ll tell you what I tell her — hang in there for the kids. They need you so much!
Best of luck — I hope Santa brings you your wish!
Happy TT!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you…it just freaking sucks when they look at demographics instead of qualifications.
Geez can they really do that? I hope you get the job anyway!
In that case, I really hope you get it.
You are in my thoughts…you should get it!!!!
Happy TT!!!
Good luck! I hope you get the promotion!
How incredibly frustrating that must be. I hope Santa does in fact leave a new position under your tree despite the prophesies of gloom and doom.
You are totally right!
Want to move out here? My kids’ principal is retiring at some point soon and we’ll have a void that needs to be filled…
You’re so right! You deserve a promotion!!!
Boy that sucks! I wonder if there’s any way to lobby for yourself! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy TT!
Wow isn’t the school system suppose to teach us to choose based on qualifications and not gender? What a bad example they are setting. If there is any chance for you to get the job I hope you do.
And thanks for visiting my Thursday Thirteen #61 13 Christmas Songs I Love/Hate edition.
This type of thing just goes on too often everywhere. It’s either one side or the other. I’m so sorry. I wonder why she told you that she was directed to hire a man? Very strange thing to tell you. Try to have a great TT.
I will proudly add my name to this petition!
thanks for the visit!

I thought it illegal to hire based upon gender… Equal Opportunity Employer? No?
