I teach classes and have hired people to teach under me as assistants?

Question

my boss asked me to teach a class for another facility and then went and hired one of my assistants to be the "lead" and I am supposed to help her teach. He didn't tell me this, she did and then I went to him and he confirmed. He said he would talk about it later. She is new and has only been teaching for a few months and doesnt have as much experience. What do you think this says about me? Do you think it is very respectful.

Answer 1

There's a couple of missing pieces that may provide insight into this, the first being, "another facility."  What is this other facility?  Is it new?  Have you taught there before?

What about the facility you taught at prior to the hiring of this new assistant turned lead -are you stll teaching there?  

Is you workload diminished?  Is it possible your boss is have you groom a new "lead" so that there are multiple leads for multiple facilities?

At this point the most egregious thing that has occured is that your boss did not include you in on a conversation that, in my opinion, he should have.  Beyond that, it seems reasonable that you request a one-on-one with your boss to resolve what can be something simple and actually for your benefit, or a critical decision that effects your future.

Answer 2

I wouldn't like that done to me.

Answer 3

This says you aren't capable of doing your job and are now grooming your replacement.

The fact your boss didn't tell you says he doesn't think highly of you at all.

That you didn't make him change the situation of offer a valid explanation means you share his opinion of your value.

Go to your union or higher ups. You may be able to save your job but if you don't do it soon-you are showing them that your boss is right.

Answer 4

eh no!

she is inexperienced so she was thrown in at the deepend too, you as the experienced where there to step in if needed.

The fact you doubt your teaching skills and abilities doesnt hold much stead does it.

OK he was wrong maybe not to tell you, but get over it, its the kids that count.
