For the month of January, all the teachers received their salary very late and then not even the full amount as usual. Everyone had some money less in it. Mine and Ad's had been the most affected. While mine had 150 Euros less Ad's had complete 265 Euros missing from her's.
As told me that on furnishing my tax card I would get the entire salary so today I have submitted my tax card and waiting to receive the just amount.
Ad's story is different however.
She does't have a tax card because her work permit is still under process. She is an EU citizen so she is allowed to work here but in case of change of industry people need a different document which happens to be her case. At the time of her appointment she had told this duly and As had agreed. After about 7-8 months of her employment she suddenly received a letter yesterday telling her that she had been continually reminded to furnish her tax card which she still hasn't. if she fails to produce the same within a few days she will have to pay the arrears of the taxes which would be around 1200 or more. What's even more weird is that her tax class has been changed.
While I was with the sleeping children she came to me and blurted this out in whispers.
We still don't know yet why or who has changed her tax class. So far as we can make out the school doesn't have the authority to change anybody's tax class. It can only be done by state authority. In any case, the new tax class now assigned to her is meant for people who have two jobs, but she has only one. She admitted that she had started doing baby sitting for a student of her's since 2 weeks for only 2 days a week. This also should not bring about such a drastic change as any job which earns less than 400 Euros is not liable to be taxed or even amounted to as a second job. Baby sitting accordingly doesn't fit this category.
It all sounds so fishy fishy..! She was never asked to procure her tax card as the letter claims she was repeated told. Who changed her tax class? If the state has done it why doesn't she have any information? Why is the tax for double source of income applied on her when she has only one source of income?
"Ad, you seem to have made bad enemies. Ever since you developed differences with Mz you seem to be in trouble. But I had hoped all would be Okay with you since you were rather friendly with As."
" Maybe As became my enemy on seeing I was in your support.' She said." Whatever, I have given her one week time to solve this issue. If I don't get my proper salary, I will leave the next week. I don't lick people's arse. And you know what? Before I leave, I will inform the whole Parents Committee.'
I feel bad for her. Something for sure is going wrong somewhere in this school. So long as Ad was on good terms with both As and Mz everything was fine. Suddenly she fell on the wrong side and now everything is going wrong with her in a mysterious fashion just like it had with Jn and Ch and St in past.
I might as well now write about these three unfortunate people.
Jn and Ch were two English teachers who happened to fall foul of Mz and Mym together. They accused that Mym and Mz refused to speak to them in anything but German which they didn't or couldn't understand and spoke in English which Mym and Mz didn't understand. The fight got so nasty that it resulted in total communication collapse between them and very soon parents got wind of it. An emergency meeting for teachers was called and like the last time instead of making peace between them Ch and Jn were simply thrown in other groups and after one week Jn was cruelly fired on false grounds that she had refused to work with small children. I heard from others that she cried and pleaded to As to not to do so as she was in need of a job but As didn't relent.
Ch was more clever. He pleaded some time to stay, found for himself another job and then one day suddenly quit without notice. But before that he broke this unfortunate happenings to several parents. That's why, the parents during the Parents Teacher meeting were angry like hell and were demanding As to tell them why Jn and Ch had left. As comfortably replied. " Their Visa had expired. They couldn't stay."
I guess next was my turn to go. They didn't like me to do the Christmas Play; my stay in Germany was uncertain so Stf was telling me to go which didn't happen. And now it is Ad's turn. And parents will be comfortably told that she didn't have legal permission.
I am beginning to see the vicious pattern. Whoever falls out of favor, the waters are made too hot to hold him in. The real reason is always something else. But this time if it happens again, sure there will be a back fire as well if Ad goes to parents Committee.
This school is sure full of storms.
