Hi all Admins, I just had the most bizarre and unwelcoming experience in a position and was forced out. I came onto the small team of only 5 including my town manager. Municipal small town office. When I came aboard I came with 15 years of experience in administrative work in several different environments. You learn many different onboarding techniques and managerial styles, you get a good rounded experience overall. My position was new there was no onboarding or communication. I was pushed out

Unfortunately these days this is common, and moving forward will probably be SOP moving forward. The admin position is a utility player that is undervalued, if you are doing your job properly, they are unaware of it because everything is smooth, if you make one mistake it can be huge inconvenience for everyone….

Wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating!! With 15 years of experience, you deserve to be welcomed and supported, especially in a new role. It’s disappointing when there’s no clear communication or onboarding.. it’s like they set you up to fail. Definitely not the experience you should have had.

I’m so proud of you for loving yourself more than the job. Hugs

I am experiencing exactly this right now. I work for a nonprofit that is really not sure they understand how messy theyve been and now that someone is holding some people to account for creating those messes for previous other burnt out office managers (their deadpool count is 2 and me on my way out.) They really don't think we have a very clear view of these places. We are the ones that experience quite alot of disfunctional communications, terrible expectations, dangerous and toxic experiences by volunteers and board members alike as I have watched fellow staff members (director levels) get crapped on, used up and burnt out. I'm positive I am staring at a pink slip. Being pushed out is so exhausting when you see all the possiblities for growth and good work that could happen if people would step up or out of the way of themselves.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
