Hola amigos, espero que est茅n muy bien. Recientemente he estado pasando por una situaci贸n algo dif铆cil en mi vida, hace poco m谩s de un mes perd铆 mi empleo, yo era instructor de nataci贸n en una escuela poco conocida en mi ciudad. Me gustar铆a compartir un poco la historia con ustedes
Llegu茅 all铆 en el mes de Junio a trav茅s de un amigo que me recomend贸 ya que anteriormente hab铆amos trabajado juntos en otra escuela de nataci贸n que si es reconocida en toda mi regi贸n. En un principio todo marchaba muy bien en el lugar, quiz谩s no maravillas como deseara pero era algo decente.
El ambiente de trabajo era regular, en un principio mi relaci贸n con mis compa帽eros era buena, la relaci贸n con el que me contrat贸 tambi茅n lo era (el era mi jefe) y se notaba que me respetaba mucho en cuanto a la forma en la que yo daba una clase, mi manera de explicar y de dirigirme a los ni帽os a 茅l le parec铆a bastante buena al punto que inclusive el prefiri贸 asignarme un cargo con un nivel m谩s elevado cosa que a una de mis compa帽eras de trabajo no le gust贸 y hasta se quej贸 con la due帽a de la escuela de nataci贸n
Mi jefe no era el due帽o de la escuela, solamente era un coordinador de instructores, el cual tiene casi 10 a帽os dando clases de nataci贸n y estuvo por diversas escuelas de nataci贸n. El ten铆a que rendirle cuentas a la due帽a de la escuela la cual de hecho no sabe nada de nataci贸n (nisiquiera sabe nadar) para ella esto era un negocio simplemente y a ella solo le importaban n煤meros 馃挼, nunca le import贸 la calidad de una clase
Ya que mi compa帽era de quej贸 con la due帽a esta quer铆a destituirme del cargo en el que estaba y regresarme al cargo anterior para regresarle el cargo a ella (cabe acotar que cobramos lo mismo estando en un lugar o en el otro, lo que cambia es el m茅todo de ense帽anza ya que yo anteriormente manejaba nivel 1 y pas茅 a estar en nivel 3, se pone podr铆a decir que despu茅s de mi jefe yo era el segundo en frente). La due帽a discuti贸 con mi jefe con respecto a esa decisi贸n a lo cual mi jefe se neg贸 a acceder ya que la compa帽era no sab铆a mucho de t茅cnica y simplemente se dedicaba a jugar con los ni帽os lo cual no est谩 bien. La due帽a insist铆a en que me iba a destituir del cargo ya que yo era un reci茅n llegado all铆 en la escuela de nataci贸n a lo que el respondi贸 "el tiene m谩s experiencia en clases de nataci贸n que ella y que usted, si a 茅l lo destituyen de ese cargo simplemente yo renuncio"
Bueno despu茅s de esa discusi贸n y que la due帽a se fijara m谩s en la forma en la que yo daba mis clases ella entendi贸 el punto, inclusive varios representantes quedaron encantados con mis m茅todos y como los ni帽os mejoraron t茅cnica mucho m谩s r谩pido conmigo y no toc贸 m谩s el tema
Un d铆a despu茅s de que mi jefe tuvo varios roces con la due帽a decidi贸 buscar empleo en otro lugar y lo consigui贸. Luego de obtener dicho cargo en otra piscina decidi贸 renunciar a esta, lo cu谩l tuvo muchos disgustos para la due帽a al punto que inclusive ella trat贸 de poner mal a mi anterior jefe delante de nosotros, sin embargo yo sab铆a que mucho de lo que ella dijo era mentira ya que yo presenciaba todo detr谩s del tel贸n, despu茅s de dicha renuncia la due帽a decidi贸 no colocar a nadie en el cargo de coordinaci贸n; mi compa帽era volvi贸 a insistir en que me regresaran al cargo anterior pero esto no procedi贸 lo cu谩l hizo que ella no me quisiera en el lugar ya que yo ser铆a una piedra en el zapato para ella
Yo soy del tipo de empleado que poco hablo con mi jefe o el due帽o del lugar, de hecho desde m铆 anterior empleo me propuse a crear paredes y solo decirle a mis jefes las cosas necesarias. Ya que poco yo hablaba con la due帽a y que yo fu铆 contratado por el que ya no est谩 yo empec茅 a caerle algo mal a la due帽a y inclusive empez贸 a buscar otro instructor, mientras tanto yo seguir铆a all铆
Despu茅s de que el anterior jefe se fuera todo se fu茅 convirti茅ndo en un desastre, cada instructor quer铆a ense帽ar a un m茅todo distinto y no hab铆a forma de corregir eso porque simplemente no hab铆a un jefe. Yo me atrev铆 a decirle est谩 situaci贸n a la due帽a, no con el fin de que me colocara de jefe porque la verdad no quer铆a tal responsabilidad, si no con el fin de que se mantuviera un orden lo cual las palabras de mi jefa fueron "Yonaiker te informo que ya no trabajaremos con esa estructura, yo necesito que entiendas que esto es un negocio" a lo que yo le respond铆 "claro, yo s茅 que es un negocio pero en todo negocio hay que ofrecer un buen servicio para que el p煤blico qued茅 encantado y contin煤e disfrutando el servicio", ella hizo enfacis a qu茅 su escuela de nataci贸n no es como cualquier otra, es m谩s algo recreativo y solo para que los ni帽os jueguen y paguen por estar all铆, a ella no le importan las competencias ni que los ni帽os aprendan, solamente le importa el dinero
Despu茅s de esa reuni贸n que tuve con ella ese 27/07 nada fue igual, la due帽a poco me dirig铆a la palabra y adem谩s se vieron muchas irregularidades al punto que hasta empez贸 a pagar incompleto o pagar con d铆as de retraso lo cual a m铆 nunca me gust贸 porque si yo brindo un servicio, soy puntual y s茅 que all铆 todo mundo paga una mensualidad entonces tambi茅n deber铆an ser puntuales a la hora de pagarme, eso se llama responsabilidad al trabajador
Luego de varias irregularidades e inconformidades con el lugar el d铆a 13-08 la due帽a convoca a todos los instructores a reuni贸n. Resulta que ella ese 煤ltimo mes se dedic贸 a inscribir ni帽os a diestra y siniestra, todos ir铆an a iniciaci贸n ya que no saben nadar (nivel 1), lleg贸 un punto en el que dos instructores ten铆an en el agua a 17 ni帽os para ellos solos (para una clase de nataci贸n nivel 1 est谩 muy por encima de la capacidad recomendada). Ella en la reuni贸n nos menciona que quiere ofrecer m谩s cupos a lo cual autom谩ticamente, s茅 que los dos que est谩n en ese grupo hab铆an estado bastante estresados pero no s茅 atrevieron a responder, a lo que yo resalt茅 ya que s茅 que me quer铆an involucrar "驴Y usted va a contratar m谩s gente? Porque en si all铆 en ese grupo actual de nivel 1 deber铆an haber dos instructores m谩s porque hay muchos ni帽os para ellos dos", dicha respuesta a ella no le gust贸 nada, el plan de ella era que todos atendieramos ese grupo y que dej谩ramos solos a los grupos nivel 2 y 3 ya que ellos se defienden en el agua (pero no conocen t茅cnica). Yo me rehus茅 desde un principio a acatar esa orden ya que yo no puedo atender adentro del agua y afuera al mismo tiempo y si alg煤n ni帽o del nivel 3 le pasaba algo dentro del agua la responsabilidad ser铆a m铆a, luego de esta reuni贸n nada fue igual.
Ese mismo d铆a tambi茅n se toc贸 el tema de los pagos ya que era s谩bado 13-08 y como el lunes 15 no laboramos el deber ser era que nos pagara ese s谩bado lo cual no hizo, ella dijo que pagar铆a el 17/08 lo cual obviamente a m铆 no me pareci贸 y a los compa帽eros tampoco pero el 煤nico que habl贸 fu铆 yo 馃檪
Luego de pasar esos semanas m谩s el d铆a 29-08 hubo una irregularidad bastante grave en el grupo de nivel 1 y es que una de las ni帽as de iniciaci贸n se estuvo ahogando a lo cual se convoc贸 a reuni贸n el d铆a 30/08 (d铆a que deb铆a ser de pago), la cu谩l fue pospuesta al d铆a siguiente por motivo de lluvias y de hecho tampoco nos pagaron ese d铆a. Durante la reuni贸n el d铆a 31/08 la due帽a quiso resaltar que todo lo sucedido fue por culpa de que yo me opuse a su idea de que todos abandonarmos nuestro cargo por atender el grupo de nivel 1, a lo cual inmediatamente yo respond铆 "no, esto sucedi贸 por querer forzar un grupo que ya estaba en su m谩xima capacidad, no puede ser que en una clase de nivel 1 ellos tengan 20 ni帽os y solo son dos instructores, si usted quer铆a meter m谩s ni帽os entonces tambi茅n ten铆a que meter m谩s instructores porque estamos en una piscina y esto es una responsabilidad muy grande" entonces ella me respondi贸 "Yonaiker yo necesito que t煤 veas esto como si t煤 fueras el due帽o, como si esto fuera una empresa productiva a la cu谩l siempre hay que ver m谩s y m谩s" a lo cu谩l yo le respond铆 "pero en toda empresa productiva para que se duplique la producci贸n tambi茅n hay que duplicar personal pero usted quiere tener mucha gente para tan poquitos instructores". Luego de esta conversaci贸n y que mis compa帽eros llegaron a un punto en el que dijeron "Yonaiker tiene raz贸n, si quiere duplicar capacidad de ni帽os tambi茅n deber铆a duplicar capacidad de personal " (cabe acotar que ellos siempre se callaban todo, ellos si no estaban de acuerdo con algo no lo dec铆an). Luego de esta respuesta de mis compa帽eros la jefa dijo fin de la reuni贸n, le pag贸 a todos y a m铆 no me pag贸 y dijo "Yonaiker necesito reunirme contigo ya" entonces yo respond铆 "y mi pago?", Y ella dijo "despu茅s de la reuni贸n yo te pago"
Mis compa帽eros se fueron y yo qued茅 solo con ella, ella me dijo que yo soy un falta de respeto porque no s茅 dirigirme a un jefe, me dijo que yo no ten铆a raz贸n en nada de lo que se dijo, que all铆 la due帽a es ella y se deb铆a hacer lo que ella dijera. A lo que yo le respond铆 "ok, pero resulta que por hacer todo a su gusto y por dinero es que hubo est谩 irregularidad de la ni帽a ahog谩ndose, pero usted se lav贸 las manos diciendo que esto era culpa nuestra cuando toda la culpa fue de su mala gerencia". Ella me dijo que lo mejor era terminar la relaci贸n laboral, que a ella no le conven铆a tener en su cuerpo de instructores a alguien que no respete sus ideales (cabe acotar que yo tengo m谩s tiempo dando clases que lo que ella tiene siendo due帽a de una escuela de nataci贸n) decid铆 no decir m谩s nada. All铆 me pag贸 mi quincena pendiente y me dijo que luego pasara por mi liquidaci贸n.
Yo sal铆 de all铆 triste porque me qued茅 sin empleo, pero no por haber sido despedido de all铆. Yo trabaj茅 antes de este lugar en una reconocida escuela de nataci贸n de la regi贸n, la cual formaba campeones nacionales y luego estuve en esta que es una escuela de recreaci贸n, realmente no me sent铆 mal porque s茅 que ellos perdieron m谩s que yo. Supe que despu茅s de mi despido la due帽a habl贸 pestes de mi y hasta le invent贸 cosas a mis compa帽eros (cosas que ellos saben que no pasaron). Tambi茅n s茅 que despu茅s de mi despido mucha gente empez贸 a quejarse por las malas decisiones tomadas all铆 dentro y hasta muchos de mis atletas se retiraron al saber que yo ya no estar铆a
Ser谩 que esto le dej贸 un mensaje a la due帽a? No s茅.
Yo actualmente estoy desempleado, he estado buscando empleo pero no lo consigo, pero no extra帽o para nada ese lugar "bueno s铆 extra帽o mucho mi salario 馃槄馃槗 ya que era el sustento de mi hogar". S茅 que Dios traer谩 algo grande para m铆 y que me va a ir mejor
Quiz谩s yo actu茅 mal al querer hacer entender a la due帽a que sus malas decisiones podr铆an afectar su negocio, pero no lo hice con ninguna mala intenci贸n. Todo esto lo habl茅 con el anterior coordinador y el me dijo "tranquilo Yonaiker, realmente despu茅s de mi salida era l贸gico que te quisieran fuera ya que yo fu铆 quien te llam贸; pero t煤 no fuiste el 煤nico que trat贸 de dialogar con ella, antes de t铆 ya otros renunciaron o fueron despedidos, realmente tu solo tratabas de ofrecer un buen servicio"
Hello friends, I hope you are very well. Recently I have been going through a somewhat difficult situation in my life, a little over a month ago I lost my job, I was a swimming instructor in a little-known school in my city. I would like to share a little history with you
I arrived there in the month of June through a friend who recommended me since we had previously worked together in another swimming school that is recognized throughout my region. At first everything was going very well in the place, maybe not as wonderful as he wanted but it was something decent.
The work environment was regular, at first my relationship with my colleagues was good, the relationship with the person who hired me was also good (he was my boss) and it was obvious that he respected me a lot in terms of the way I I was teaching a class, my way of explaining and addressing the children seemed quite good to him to the point that he even preferred to assign me a position with a higher level, something that one of my co-workers did not like and even complained with the owner of the swimming school
My boss was not the owner of the school, he was only an instructor coordinator, who has been teaching swimming classes for almost 10 years and has been to various swimming schools. He had to report to the owner of the school who in fact does not know anything about swimming (she does not even know how to swim) for her this was simply a business and she only cared about numbers 馃挼, she never cared about the quality of a class
Since my partner complained to the owner, she wanted to remove me from the position I was in and return me to the previous position to return the position to her (it should be noted that we charge the same being in one place or the other, what changes is the teaching method since I previously handled level 1 and became level 3, you could say that after my boss I was the second in front). The owner argued with my boss regarding that decision, to which my boss refused to agree, since the colleague did not know much about technique and she was simply playing with the children, which is not good. The owner insisted that she was going to remove me from the position since I was a newcomer there at the swimming school to which he replied "he has more experience in swimming lessons than her and you, if he They remove me from that position, I simply resign"
Well, after that discussion and the owner paying more attention to the way I gave my classes, she understood the point, even several representatives were delighted with my methods and how the children improved technique much faster with me and did not touch the theme
One day after my boss had several frictions with the owner, he decided to look for a job elsewhere and got it. After obtaining said position in another pool, she decided to resign from this one, which had many upsets for the owner to the point that she even tried to put my previous boss down in front of us, however, I knew that much of what she said was lie since I witnessed everything behind the curtain, after said resignation the owner decided not to place anyone in the coordination position; my partner insisted again that they return me to the previous position but this did not proceed, which made her not want me in the place since I would be a stone in her shoe for her
I am the type of employee who rarely talks with my boss or the owner of the place, in fact from my previous job I set out to create walls and only tell my bosses the necessary things. Since I rarely talked to the owner and I was hired by the one who is no longer here, I began to dislike the owner and even began to look for another instructor, meanwhile I would continue there
After the previous boss left everything became a mess, each instructor wanted to teach a different method and there was no way to correct that because there was simply no boss. I dared to tell the owner about this situation, not so that she could put me in charge because I really didn't want such a responsibility, but rather so that order would be maintained, which the words of my boss were "Yonaiker I inform you that we will no longer work with that structure, I need you to understand that this is a business" to which I replied "of course, I know it is a business but in all business leisure, you have to offer a good service so that the public is delighted and continues to enjoy the service", she emphasized that her swimming school is not like any other, it is more recreational and just for children to play and pay to be there, she does not care about the competitions or that the children learn, she only cares about the money
After that meeting I had with her on 07/27 nothing was the same, the owner hardly spoke to me and also many irregularities were seen to the point that she even started paying incomplete or paying days late, which I never liked. because if I provide a service, I am punctual and I know that everyone there pays a monthly payment, so they should also be punctual when paying me, that is called worker responsibility
After several irregularities and nonconformities with the place on 08-13, the owner calls all the instructors to a meeting. It turns out that last month she dedicated herself to enrolling children right and left, they would all go to initiation since they do not know how to swim (level 1), there came a point where two instructors had 17 children in the water to themselves (to a level 1 swim class is well above recommended ability). At the meeting, she mentions to us that she wants to offer more quotas, to which automatically, I know that the two in that group had been quite stressed, but they didn't dare to respond, to which I highlighted since I know they wanted to involve me " And are you going to hire more people? Because in that current group of level 1 there should be two more instructors because there are too many children for the two of them", she did not like this answer at all, her plan was that we all attend that group and that we leave the level 2 and 3 groups alone since they defend themselves in the water (but they don't know technique). From the beginning I refused to comply with that order since I cannot attend in the water and out at the same time and if any level 3 child happened to him or her in the water, the responsibility would be mine, after this meeting nothing was the same.
That same day the issue of payments was also discussed since it was Saturday 08-13 and since we did not work on Monday 15, the duty was that she pay us that Saturday, which she did not do, she said she would pay on 08/17, which Obviously it didn't seem like it to me and neither did my colleagues, but the only one who spoke was me 馃檪
After spending those weeks plus on 08-29 there was a quite serious irregularity in the level 1 group and that is that one of the initiation girls was drowning to which a meeting was called on 08/30 (day that should to be paid), which was postponed to the next day due to rain and in fact they did not pay us that day either. During the meeting on 08/31, the owner wanted to emphasize that everything that happened was because I opposed her idea that we all leave our position to serve the level 1 group, to which I immediately replied "no, this happened because they wanted to force a group that was already at its maximum capacity, it cannot be that in a level 1 class they have 20 children and there are only two instructors, if you wanted to include more children then you also had to include more instructors because we are in a pool and this is a very big responsibility" then she replied "Yonaiker, I need you to see this as if you were the owner, as if this were a productive company that you always have to see more and more" to what which one I replied "but in every productive company to double production you also have to double personnel but you want to have many people for so few instructors". After this conversation and my colleagues reached a point where they said "Yonaiker is right, if you want to double the capacity of children you should also double the capacity of staff" (it should be noted that they always kept quiet about everything, if they did not agree with something they did not say). After this response from my colleagues, the boss said end of the meeting, she paid everyone and she didn't pay me and said "Yonaiker I need to meet with you now" so I replied "and my payment?", and she said "after the meeting I pay you"
My colleagues left and I was left alone with her, she told me that I am disrespectful because I do not know how to talk to a boss, she told me that I was not right in anything that was said, that she is the owner there and what she said should be done. To which I replied "ok, but it turns out that doing everything to your liking and for money is that there was this irregularity of the girl drowning, but you washed your hands saying that this was our fault when all the fault was yours. bad management." She told me that the best thing was to end the employment relationship, that it was not convenient for her to have someone in her body of instructors that she does not respect her ideals (it should be noted that I have more time teaching than she has being the owner of a swimming school) I decided not to say anything else. She there she paid me my outstanding fortnight and she told me to go through my liquidation later.
I left there sad because I lost my job, but not because I was fired from there. I worked before this place in a recognized swimming school in the region, which trained national champions and then I was in this recreation school, I really didn't feel bad because I know they lost more than me. I found out that after I was fired the owner talked bad about me and she even invented things for my colleagues (things that they know didn't happen). I also know that after my dismissal many people began to complain about the bad decisions made there and many of my athletes even left when they found out that I would no longer be there.
Could it be that this left a message for the owner? I don't know.
I am currently unemployed, I have been looking for a job but I can't find it, but I don't miss that place at all "well I do miss my salary a lot 馃槄馃槗 since it was the livelihood of my home". I know that God will bring something great for me and that he will do better for me
Perhaps I acted badly by wanting to make the owner understand that her bad decisions could affect her business, but I did not do it with any bad intentions. I discussed all this with the previous coordinator and he told me "don't worry Yonaiker, really after I left it was logical that they wanted you out since I was the one who called you, but you weren't the only one who tried to talk to her, before you and others resigned or were fired, really you were just trying to offer a good service"
