We use to be a very happy workplace, but now the powers that be (even middle management) are using scare & disciplinary tactics to force the staff into submission. Forcing staff to fulfill impossible goals & performance requirements?
How do you justify spending money on junk/toys/furniture/programming that goes unused by the community?
How do you justify harassing a subordinate, because they report HONEST Statistics?
How do you justify LYING to management about a subordinate because they tell you the truth?
How do you justify disciplining someone because they asked a subordinate for help in a grueling situation?
How do you justify reporting staff for working more than a 5 hour shift (forcing them to have their shifts cut) but turn around & ask your own staff if they prefer 2-4 hour or 1-8 hour shift and give them a choice of days/times to work... when policy states: "For needs of the facility" and their choices leave the facility short-staffed?
How do you justify screaming at your staff for talking to others you hate, but then you spend hours leaning on a public desk talking about your private family dramas to other staff members who could care the hell less...... while they are working their butts off, all the while you refusing to help?
How do you justify wasting $$$$$ ordering materials/supplies not needed, but ignore ordering what is needed?
How do you justify the fact that you blatantly disregard the fact that the CEO told the entire staff that there is $$$ for raises, but then turn around in a meeting (where the CEO is not in attendance) and tell the staff that you are NOT Giving raises..... and your non-management staff hasn't had a raise in five years, but you have your bonuses?
How do you justify pushing someone out of the way when you walk by them, especially when they have arms full?
How do you justify petty harassing actions:
* purposely wearing/using heavy scents that aggravate others asthma/allergies
* use hand sanitizer to clean the telephone handset (after being asked Not to), again knowing it makes people ill
* move the footrest purchased for someone else w/ a need for accommodation and refuse to move it back, but do not ever use the one under your own desk
* complain that you can't help with handling books, yet easily go through all the book donations
* that it hurts to type a book spine label, but can pop out an e-mail complaint or documentation for some fantastical slight pain free
How do you justify staring at a computer screen for more than 7/8 of your shift & still get paid?
How do you justify yelling at staff you are not directly supervisor of: "What are you doing?", but yet refuse to check-on or supervise the staff you are directly responsible for?
How do you justify telling a staff member, who happens to be following policy with out customer complaint, to just forget policy and "over-ride" what ever it is?
Oh Yeah..... I Forgot: Public/Government Employees... No Wonder We Have a Bad Reputation!
I still ♥ what I do, the community I work for and most all of my co-workers.... But I Abhor The Blatant & Purposeful: Bullshit Head Games, Waste of Money, Power Games, Retaliatory Harassment of Myself & Staff, Laziness, Dysfunction & Personality Disorders, and Insecure Snitch-Babies & their Fanciful LIES!
