A day in the life

Well I am not sure where to start on yesterday and what happened. Well then again maybe I do. Lets start with starting Monday I will be looking for a new job. Now don't get me wrong I really liked my job. It was sometimes boring and monotonous but it was still a great job most of the time. Then came last Friday. Well I walked in as usual ten min early and one of teachers started making rude comments about me to a co worker of mine but she didn't say them to me. The odd part of that was she interrupted our conversation to make the comments. So it was not like she did't know I was standing there. Then I clocked in and walked off leaving them standing there. Well as I went to walk down the hall a lady I have only seen at the school one other time starts yelling at me and saying all kinds of rude and uncalled for stuff. Now I knew the situation she was screaming about and tried to calm her down and she just became more irrate. Normally at this point I woulda made an evil coment but I just said mam I was doing what I was told to by my boss. She then got more pissed at me. Well one of the teachers there said come on Anne your coming to my classroom no one deserves to be talked to like that. Remember we were in a school with kids and teachers in the hallway. So her and I walked off. I then picked my the company cell phone and called my district manager to come and deal with it. He informed me I should calm down, take a deep breath and get back to work. Well that was his mistake or mine as I forgot to be male he has no spine or balls to stand up to anyone. So I called him back two hours later and said ya know after thinking about it I resign from this school and will just continue at the other schools. Then I asked if he would like me to work the earlier shift at the other schools since I would no longer be at this one. He then implied strongly if I resign at one he would fire me from the other. Well that turned out to be a big mistake on his part. I work for a company based in Grand Rapids but locally there are only 15 employees. As he is telling the other employees what has happened they all felt I was in the right and when he got to the part of firing me if I resigned the one position he ran into a brick wall as I work with a great group of guys who informed him if he fired me they would all be resigning at the same time. As they felt I had endured alot of crap I never should have and shouldn't have to take threats from him. Infact one of my co workers called our district managers boss and told him the entire story. He then said my job at the other school is mine as long as I want it and he will be driving up Sunday night to be at the school Monday morning because he feels no one has the right to talk to his employees as I was talked to. So I dunno what will happen and I will keep the job at the other school until I can find another one. But I have issues with working for a man who makes the rules then we get yelled at for following his rules he tells us to just deal with it. The only funny part to me was I had no idea the guys I work with all came to my defense until today when I ran into two of them at the store and they congratulated me for standing up and saying what is happening is wrong. Then they told me about what they had said and done. Sad part is I also found out the district manager thinks he has backed me into a corner so he hasn't looked for anyone to take over my shift. But all the other employees feel the same as I do that after Monday morning if I am there it would only get worse for me. I just hate whats happening but I am really sick of being treated like trash because I am not a part of their little union.
