I work at an after-school program and was hired in January as a teacher. I'm 23, and I’m one of the two newest hires, with the other being a fellow 23-year-old. Recently, my direct boss has been asking about our availability for the summer program, which is set to have a lower enrollment this year—around 40 kids instead of 80. This has me worried about potential cuts, especially since we’re the newest staff members. The other newer teacher mentioned that the owner asked her about her summer schedule and hinted at needing to make cuts due to the reduced number of kids. This raised my anxiety, as my boss had previously indicated that summer would be less hectic, and I thought I was secure since I had confirmed my availability. I’ve been trusted to run my class alone multiple times, and while the owner has acted normally towards me, my boss has seemed a bit off when discussing summer plans. She even paused when I asked about the start date, which made me feel like there’s something more going on behind the scenes. I’m trying to figure out if I should be worried about being cut or if they’re just still sorting out the summer staffing situation. No one has told me directly about any cuts, but the vague comments about needing to make decisions are hard to ignore. I plan to ask my supervisor directly on Monday about my summer schedule to clear up this uncertainty.
