Dear all, I m a day care director (joined the company a few months ago), the head teacher of the centre is creating a lot of problems. Firstly, she doesn't submit any planning, absent for work at least once a week and sometimes more than 2 days/wk, never changes the activities in her room, doesn't communicate with her co-teacher and treat her like she doesnt exist, never checks the stock which she is in-charge of and people come to me for every single thing that she is incharge of. I know all of you are wondering then why on earth am I still keeping her? The problem is she is bonded by the company and is a close friend of the owner of the childcare centre as result I do not get my superior's permission to fire her. But her bad work ethic is slowly spreading and I am very stressed because of this. Since she is a head of staff the other staff are looking up to her and learning all the bad ethic from her. I can't stand this anymore. I have told my superior abt the problem I am facing but no improvement. I have tried positive reinforcement, meeting to address the issue, memo and so on but there is no change. Has anyone faced such a problem? would love to hear from others on similar case or any advice would be appreciated. Dragie Name: Email: Subject
