I have! Just recently actually
Conversation Starter
(CONTD) past 2 weeks!!
Is EVERYTHING expected to be PERFECT when I'm overseeing close to 50 people for 1 program, juggling multiple duties & COMPLEX ISSUES in the program, in addition to calling clients, assessing, & resolving conflicts for people w/no training--IN ADDITION TO assessing clients, meeting with them, researching rental options that best fit their needs??
PLUS, constantly asking clients for the same documents OVER & OVER, explaining to them why we need the documents we need,
Interpreting rent ledgers, paystubs, & calculating them, contacting landlords to make sure they received payments we sent to their apartment complexes, CONSTANTLY sending out reminders for GROWN A$$ adults to upload critical documents, making sure data is accurate, reviewing income documents, following up with clients who ghosted us, figuring out what items are priority on my own due to receiving NO RESPONSE from my SUPERVISOR AND/OR DIRECTOR, trying MY ABSOLUTE BEST to make independent decisions regarding complex client situations on my own (b/c my Supervisor will throw it back up in my face IN MY EVALUATION if I reach out to her a few times a week to assist me with handling complex client issues), and the list continues!!!
In addition, yesterday my Director was just nitpicking with things I did nonstop. First, she sent me an email about the SAME ISSUE again today regarding a few payment reminders that were sent out a little bit later than how they should have been sent out asking me "Why are the notices being sent out right now? And were they overlooked initially. Honestly, if the reminder is being sent this late it just makes us look bad. If there are any others that wee overlooked, please don't send them out. Can you let me know how many weren't send last month at the time they should have been sent? I've seen them be sent and would need a total." Oh whatever. Even when I do send the payment reminders out on time, they still don't get posted to the tenants' accounts like they should and the payments get lost because the LANDLORDS DONT FREAKING PAY ATTENTION TO THEM!!!
Strike 2 -before I logged off yesterday (and I should have logged off as soon as I was off, but I wanted to make sure everything got sent right away). My Director sent me an email saying "we do not need income info. from her roommate if they're not in her household. I did not ask you to request that. Don't send another email today. Just sit on it tonight and follow up tomorrow to let her know that we don't need income docs for her roommate." She also told me to apologize to the client as well. Oh God. Like how do you even respond to a NASTY email like that? As if ppl don't make mistakes and as if her situation isn't CONFUSING AS HELLL!! Why is she even talking to me in that tone through email?? I'm so ready to get the hell out.
Even though I don't have another job yet, I really may just accept the housing offer. I don't need to continue working someplace toxic and crappy as this place where I am nitpicked and criticized about EVERY LITTLE thing. When I complete other work assignments, they are overlooked and I barely receive appreciation for them--even though I constantly find myself WORKING ALONE!!! I have not seen any positive emails about the hard work I have been doing lately come through and I don't appreciate it at all. "Just sit on it...." who the hell talks to their employees like that??
The last time I received a positive email from My Director or Supervisor was months ago. I almost feel like bringing it up in the meeting I have with my Supervisor tomorrow about how I feel like Ive been receiving alot of criticisms lately and it feels like I never know when I'm doing anything right anymore.OVER IT 1 trillion %!!
I'm about to receive an offer for an Affordable Housing unit & I already turned two offers down a few months ago because I thought I needed a job first or at least that is what my mom thinks. She just expects me to put up with this abuse & toxicity every day and week. If you were in a similar situation, would you leave your toxic ass job, relocate, & accept an affordable housing offer if it were offering to you before you had another job???
