I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:

About 3 months in, we swapped to a new system, so monthly stats haven’t been accounted for for bonuses (as promised), they noted that they could not give out a bonus to everyone for the recent holiday (as they usually do), but they provided 2% bonuses to those who were employed w. The agency before May ‘22, and I did not receive a default sign-on bonus because I was “considered an employee of the agency as an intern” (was not told this until after I was hired). In many ways I feel tricked, but others around me are saying this is typical within the field (from ppl within the agency). I would like an outside perspective on this, from those within the field but outside of my agency. Is this normal? Sorry for the long post!

Yes, venting can be seen as tolerance and complaining and don’t motivate change. Boundaries state what YOU will do or not do in response to their decisions and behavior.

I can see where you're coming from...it's definitely not normal and if you're feeling this way, trust me, it won't get better. Have you tried searching for other roles?

I haven’t since I’m still able to manage things right now and the agency offers amazing training opportunities that I want to take part in.
