Walking into a Burning Building: When You Ignore Your Intuition After a Job Interview

Do you want to know the easiest way to be on a path to get fired? Ignore all the warning signs at the onset of a situation and proceed as if things will be different [than the last time you were in this situation].

What were the signs?

-->pay significantly lower than other Bay area school districts

-->middle school and the pay is low

-->majority minority middle school and low pay

-->principal has been a principal for less than three years in a majority minority middle school with low pay

-->women administrators with a less than three-year principal in a majority minority middle school where the pay is low

-->white woman principal with less than three years as principal along with other women in administration in a majority minority middle school with meager pay

-->panel interview with all women with a white woman with less than three years as a principal as principal among other women as administrators in a majority minority middle school with 2019 pay

-->newly acquired position--"Behavior Specialist"--to the school (a position that a District worker said does not exist) in a panel interview with all women with a white woman principal who has principled for less than three years and is in a woman-trio of administrators in a majority school of color middle school in a district that has not kept up with the pay of surrounding school districts because they are always freezing salaries and mismanaging money...or whatever

So, given the aforementioned, call me the insane Behavior Analyst. Maybe I should change the name of this blog.

Have any of these signs been red flags for you?
