Promotion?

In August, we had another aerobic meeting. Many of the instructors were hoping that the coordinator was going to announce that she was leaving to move South with her husband who had taken a new job. Many of us were sticking around for the members but also in hopes that the coordinator might be leaving. We believed that this could help eliminate many problems. Unfortunately, this was not the case. She announced that not only was she the coordinator but now she had been promoted to Fitness Director. So, I guess she was her own boss too! Wow!

Later, we found out that she got this position over two other people that had advanced degrees (Master's degree in Exercise Physiology, Sports Training, etc). According to the facility's web site, she only has an ACE personal trainer certification... Very suspicious if you ask me. Anyway, regardless, it was just horrible news for the program. I guess as she told me before, she didn't need to know about the job (in other words, she didn't need to be qualified) to do the job...

Well, despite everything, I continued to stick it out...
