Figure Skating Instructors-Help!?
I'm a Figure Skating instructor for a local rink (not an employee, considered an Indy Contractor) and have worked there for 6 years, year-round. The Skating director went out on Maternity; meanwhile another Pro from another rink was Interim Director. In trying to build up the LTS program, she hired 3 more Pros (no problem), and is now in charge. Naturally during the summer, enrollment's low; however there are enough Summer Camp/LTS students to go around, and I wasn't given a Group. I've been put on the Sub list and told: "Let's see what happens in the Fall" plus rumor has it there's a lot of politics going on.
I really don't mind subbing, and I understand that the Director can do whatever she wants - but as someone who has been, and still is totally available, punctual, didn't make waves, has taught countless Groups, and hardly absent for the most part, I feel I should have gotten at least one group, over anyone else who came after me. I feel that this action says: "I really don't need you... but you're good enough to sub."
What do you think? Am I taking this the wrong way? Should I see what happens in the fall, or forget working at this rink?

I'd be pretty offended if that happened to me. I've had some issues with the skating directors at my clubs too, and as a result I don't coach anymore :( It sucks, I used to love coaching, but the politics just kept getting in the way and kinda killed my desire for it. I think if you still love coaching and get something out of it, then keep coaching, either as a sub at that rink, or as a coach at another rink. There's nothing wrong with getting a job at another rink, and then if things do work out in the fall, you can switch over to that, or do both. Good luck!

I totally agree with you, it isnt fair you have been loyal and worked there for awhile you should get a solid job. If you dont get a job in the fall I would most definatly ask why and arrange for a job.
