A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.
Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.
Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.
“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”
I’ve seen worse over ~15 years of nonprofit management. Not that this isn’t bad. I’m just saying it gets much worse.
Wow, I’m not going to lie. Out of sheer morbid curiosity I’d really be interested in seeing how that sausage gets made. You should consider keeping a journal and maybe writing a memoir someday. A kitchen confidential for nonprofits.
Here’s some of my most recent ones, they piss me off:
One useless parasite who hasn’t done any work in 15 years is on the payroll at $300K/year. Literally did no work for years. That person’s work now consists of organizing meetings (no more than 1 per week, often with months of no activity).
Similarly, one person who retired 10 years ago is still paid quarter time, which works out to about $120K/year. His sole activity is attending meetings once every few months.
Routine “housing allowances” paid to higher ups. $100K for a mortgage went to a completely worthless individual.
Higher ups expensing dinners for themselves with literally $200 bottles of wine. Any fucking occasion, gotta throw a party - “retirements”, someone joining, someone leaving, fucking birthdays, so-and-so won an award, etc.
edit: nepotism. Oh my fuck, the nepotism. Hire so-and-so’s spouse as a “consultant” when I myself could have done the work for no extra money and 1/50th the time. But no, let’s waste $60K on a worthless consultant that has no goddamn domain knowledge and possibly fewer than 3 firing neurons.
It comes down to flagrant elitism and rampant entitlement. “We deserve it because we’re so fucking awesome”. And it gets worse than what I’ve written here. I manage a fucking nonprofit that’s supposed to help people in dire need, people who will die without us.
I honestly think a publisher might be interested in a book like this. You should consider it. They have people to help with the writing and if you’re ethical and give a coauthored credit I bet there’s a ghostwriter out there who would love to publish a good old fashioned muckraker with you.
Eh, maybe when I retire. I’m dependent on these assholes for my living. And I’m trying to move shit in the right direction.
Next Christmas season I am just giving money to random homeless people who ask me for it. At least I know 100% of that money will go to them.
I’ve stopped giving charity except to local food banks and schools (and I give the schools prepackaged snacks for the kids). Because I see how the money is used. And the assholes I work for have the nerve to ask EMPLOYEES to make contributions. As if I can’t see all this shit.
Yeah I stopped doing the corporate charity bullshit. No I won’t round up my purchase to some foundation run by a nephew of the CEO. If this matters so much to this corporation they can pay for it.
