She did not realize that the man working the shift with her was actually a supervisor. He stayed silent about hisidentityand experienced the full brunt of her horrible behavior. He couldn’t wait to take her down.

The man works at a facility for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and mentions the place is always short-staffed, so there are always new people joining

One day, while he was filling in for someone else, a new lady came and tried to correct him about what he was doing, all while ignoring the child she had to look after

The woman kept disrespecting him without realizing he was a supervisor, which he didn’t mention because he wanted to see her reaction when she finally walked into his office

The Original Poster (OP) explained that the facility he works at is quite well-supported and provides a decentwageto its employees. Despite that, there is often a lot of turnover, and new people keep joining the place, so it might be difficult to keep track of everyone’s titles.
This isn’t exactly uncommon for facilities working in this sector. It’s also important to note thatspecial needseducators mention that they tend to face a lot of burnout in their profession. Although it’s a meaningful job, they often have way too much on their plate, along with having to manage all the unique challenges that come with their work.
This might explain why the new employee who showed up was already quite frazzled andgrumpy, but it definitely doesn’t excuse her behavior. She tried correcting the OP and disrespectfully mumbling about him, all while leaving the child she was supposed to be supervising unattended at least a dozen times.
Working with kids with special needs requires differentqualitiesthat this woman doesn’t seem to possess. Special educators need to be very kind and compassionate and able to open their hearts to the children. They also need to be very passionate and resilient to be able to work in a sector that many find overwhelming.

Expertsalso state that if a special educator has acted discriminatorily towards a child, then even the parents have a right to step in and report the behavior. They can contact the school or facility’s supervisory staff and have them address the issue with the concerned person.
Although there isn’t any recent update on the post, andpeopleare waiting in anticipation, the poster got a small bit of revenge almost immediately. He mentioned that the woman was removed from scheduling, meaning she wasn’t allowed to work with the kids anymore.
Hopefully, this punishment was enough to open her eyes. She might have thought that she’d get away with her bad behavior, but unfortunately, she did it all in front of a supervisor. I bet she knows exactly who he is now!
Do you think the OP should have done anything else to get petty revenge on her? Let us know if you’ve got any other ideas.
