We have no Lessons Lead right now. The overly aggressive young lady was fired, and they had nobody in line to back her up. If parents call to cancel or reschedule a lesson, they will encounter voice mail that is not being monitored. I received my paycheck by direct deposit the other day. It was 2/3 of what it was supposed to be. Does that mean the previous Lead was not entering my times of arrival and departure? $350 lost will not change my standard of living, but I deserve to be paid for the hours I work. I will let the "big people" know that this happened.. The chaos created by that gal continues, even after she was fired. It is frustrating.

If you rely on an unmonitored system for clcking in and out, then yeah those hours could be lost.

@TheHorse If it was due to human error, intentional or otherwise, good luck. It'd be your word against theirs.

@kaylachan There is no "against thers." They have a record of my teaching.

I'm sorry that happened and hope the "big bosses" correct the mistake quickly. Maybe you could take over that job until they hire somebody else? With pay, of course. You could mention it to your boss. I hope you have a wonderful day.

@TheHorse I think you may have told me that before.

@DaddyEvil I cannot remember. But I enjoy doing exactly what I do. I do want to be paid for it, though.

I have no desire to be Lessons Lead, even temporarily. I enjoy teaching.

That’s so not right. I’m annoyed, and it isn’t even my money.

I did not anticipate this. I am glad I can absorb it for now.

Was that the lady that was bugging you? Hmm. I'm glad she's gone. I hope the fall out isn't long lasting.

@TheHorse ........Ugh! Working dynamics are no fun. I'm glad that is behind me now. Do you look forward to retirement?

Yes, I fear that the previous Lead did something wrong, or "entered" as her time. I am glad she was fired. Let the big people know.

@TheHorse - I hope they can do something. It's very unpleasant to do a lot of work and not to receive what you have to receive in compensation.

I miss playing a guitar. My grandson Bryan is interested to learn how to play a guitar when he's out in 2-year missionary work in Manila Mission. After his mission, I bought a guitar For him as my birthday present to him.

You certainly earned all that is owed to you with all the work that you have done. To short you that much is not acceptable. Hope that gets sorted out and they hire or at least get someone to take care of lesson communications. Happy New Year, by the way!
