Im not happy with my driving instructor?

hi there im not very happy with my instructor, he yells at me when i make a mistake and its my second lesson after a year because i was in and out of hospital. if i stall or forget to signal, he says im going to tell you're dad. i told my dad what he said and what i did but he goes if you're not happy, then leave it. he tells me i made a mistake but he doesn't tell me how to sort it out. i also remember that i wanted to leave last year but then fell ill and this was exactly one of the reasons. i drive out of fear and confusion and that is not good. driving lessons are about becoming a better driver. he had a go at me in the first lesson after a year about my speed and now he complained about my turning. ok, i might wrong here as a student but its the teachers job to explain and not to yell, scare and confuse. i cant learn like that. i'll drive into something if it gets worse because i suffer from ADHD.

my dad paid him a full amount so i got to take the last lessons tomorrow. shall i go to a new instructor? ( i think i should) what will the old instructor say to me? blackmail? :S his driving partner has done that before. he said that you're money has expired when he knew i was in hospital. what to do? Yes, change the driver. You should always as a customer ( which you are ), aren't happy with the service he's giving you, you should change. Anyways, In my opinion, he's a bad instructor to do this for more than a year. Trust me, I suffer from ADHD too, and it's hard for focus when someone is screaming in my ear, or giving me a hard time at something I really want. Change your instructor to get a better one. sure there are good ones out there. the instructor is being paid to teach you and therefore should be making it possible for you to learn-I'd get a different one. Im not happy with my driving instructor?

I was recently let go from my job. I had been there for over a year and worked more than anyone in my department. We got a new boss about 2 weeks ago and some things were blamed on me that were not my fault. I had recently enrolled in College and when accepted, and had a class schedule, I went to my other boss to let him know I was starting school and that for the last two weeks of me being with the company, I would only be able to work Part Time... in the middle of me explaining this, he cuts me off and hands me an envelope with my termination papers in it. I was told to clean out my desk, turn in my last time sheet so my final check could be cut and to go home. Now, my question is, legally in the state of Oklahoma, how long do they legally have to give me that last paycheck? Part of what they owe me is for a "Christmas Fund" I was paying into, almost $800 of money I have earned in the last 9 months that was held into this account, not like it is something I JUST earned. so help? I have filed for unemployment, because what they say I did, I didn't do. IT wasn't even a part of my job description. Thanks to both for your answers... My termination was not based on me wanting to go back to school... I never got to finish telling him I was putting in my notice when my termination papers were handed to me... Infact, the files noted in my termination papers as being a portion of my "insubordniation" were not even my files, or a program I had control over... My boss is supposed to check into tomorrow when I will get my last check... as for the christmas fund, I will fight for that one because that is money owed to be from previous work weeks and they should not be allowed to hold it and draw interest on it when it is MY money...

Tabs, the State of Oklahoma requires your employer to pay you your final pay check on your next scheduled pay day. I suggest you contact the wage and hour division of your states department of labor concerning your Christmas fund if your former employers human resource department can not give you an answer. As far as your unemployment claim, I highly recommend that you provide a detailed job description along with your unemployment claim if you possibly can to show unjustified termination. Paperwork is king here in America
Sorry this is long! I started this position almost 2 months ago, but have been working in this field for 5 years. Needless to say, I have a pretty good idea about what I'm doing. My "boss" is constantly down-talking me, like I'm 12 or something (she actually came up to my desk and had a conversation with another manager about how "cute" I am). Children are "cute", puppies are "cute", those little mini cherry pies at 7/11 are "cute" - I, on the other hand, pay bills, own expensive things that I work very hard for, and am responsible, which means I'm grown. Not "cute".She always has something to say about the way I do things and is making it her goal in life to point out mistakes that could be prevented if she did things the right way. She actually tried to pull one over on me today! We're working on payroll and trying to find 2 weeks worth of missing hours on an employee. The process goes like this - she e-mails me the time sheets, I print them, enter them into the system, and file them in 3-hole binders. She comes to my desk with about 8 sheets of papers, all with holes except for 2. The 2 without holes, are the exact 2 weeks we've been looking for. So she basically printed them out, and tucked them in the stack, and proceeded to assume that I had filed them without entering them. Now I look like I made a mistake. I don't understand why she does these things, and they're done on a daily basis. She never owns up to her own mistakes, yet I am expected to every single day ( in which I shut my mouth, smile and nod ). It is beyond aggrivating and annoying at this point. Mind you, I am the LAST person to confront someone that I work closely with. I don't like tension at all. Please help.. Oh! I forgot to add.. When I first arrived, the relationship was great. Communication was open as we got to know each other. However, I noticed while working, a few mistakes she had made. I didn't sugar-coat it when informing her, but I didn't point any fingers either. It was more like, "Would you like me to fix this?". Of course she sat, shell-shocked that she had made an error. I think the more I found, the more she wanted to turn the tables. I have ALWAYS been respectful and kind. She's even asked for my advice and we had a more personal conversation about her son who is a few years younger than I. She was distraught and I couldn't turn her down (I'm a sap, I know). It's all taken a nasty turn down a road I don't wish to travel.

She didn't like you stepping to her about her mistakes when you were new. So, now she wants to make sure you are put in your place. Maybe the two of you could have a sit down conversation and clear the air. If not, go to HR and request a mediation with her.
This woman I work with seems to always make me look bad or foolish in front of others. She even makes up stuff ...like saying I throw stuff at her and when I told her that I have never thrown anything at her and asked what she meant by this...she said I throw papers down roughly in her tray...which is an out and out lie. I always place them gently in her tray, always. I don't do anything roughly. Well, since she has lied about this I have really had my guard up and she comes in late all the time, like 10-15 mins. and sometimes 30-45 minutes or so. We are both temps and our sign-in time sheets are on the same clipboard together and I couldn't help but notice that she signs in 8:00am (the time we're supposed to be there) even when she gets there much later. I'm the front desk person so I know when everyone arrives and leaves. She doesn't stay late to make up the time and she doesn't take a short lunch, so...this has made me wonder Also, I saw that she actually changed one of her sign in times from 8:45 to 8:00am...now, that is ridiculous and I know it's ridiculous that I know she does this but when you don't trust someone you notice stuff like this. And she handles company money because she works in accounting ! I wouldn't trust her with my money because she even lies on her time sheet...no telling what she'd lie about. She's trouble and I guess I should just sit back and watch her hang herself. You can't say anthing about people like this because then you look like a busy-body. I just don't trust her and I don't like her at all. I don't even think my boss ever sees her time sheet because the H.R. person gets them and does payroll. If he does see it and still lets her keep doing this, I just don't get it. It's not right.

She is worried you will get hired in permanently and she won't. Don't let her rile you, just be polite and sugar sweet and start carrying a micro recorder in case she goes ballistic on you. As for the timesheets, she is stealing. Do you have anyway to copy the sheets before she changes them? I would if I were you, the other thing you can do is to save all your interactions with her for 8am when she is not there. Pop back to her office to deliver whatever papers you are talking about and ask around to see if anyone has seen her. Eventually her co-workers will figure out that she is padding her timecard. What a loser. Hang tight.
