Easy-going management and co-ordinators (mostly) who treated you as a pro.

Do we really need another thread???? This was so earth shaking that you couldn't just include it with one of the other 3 or 4 or 5 threads?

Unprofessional management and co-ordinators (some, but I don't want to be too Specific...) who treated professional experienced teachers as morons.

Al Ain's nice, though. or used to be.

I'm sure HCT will be a better fit for you, then.

I guess this means a quiet beach town or a long commute out into the sand... ah well... could be worse... could be ADW.

Sorry... Crying or Very sad

Hey - Mr / Ms Sentiments I thought you didn't want another UGRU thread. What are you doing stalking this one?

Gnocchiman - sorry to hear your news. Shocked Why do you think you were chosen for 'reassignment' (I've heard that's what they're calling it)? What criteria were the selectors working from? How many people does this affect?

On another thread you seemed so sure that this wouldn't happen ... It all seems so very sudden - when do you have to pack up and leave? Do you know where you'll be going?

I really feel for you - I don't know how long you've been here in the UAE, but the idea of having to think about packing up a household in what will be a very short time, would fill me with dread. I do hope you have support and help with this.
