YoungHeart1980!

Hello, I hope everyone is doing okay. I had a minor set back, but I am continuing to recover after surgery. I’m grateful for my health.

Today was the first day I presented on the financial findings or end of month report to my boss on one of the investigators. I was not critiqued and it came to no surprise. Instead I was told what I was to say. It wasn’t about reconciling, who’s on payroll and the percent effort of each person on a project to be correct. I was told what to say, “pronounce the amounts including the cents.” “Do not advertise the percent carry forward, only if asked with their development funds.”

First, why should I pronounce dollar and cents when I’m presenting the numbers for them to view already? Two, why not advertise and guide them on cost savings or if they will lose funds if they don’t spend it? We should be supporting them and that’s our function as an analyst.

Not sure how long I can handle the pettiness that has become. Or is it really the investigator that wants it this way? I don’t even know what I’m supposed to say now. It’s not what I thought I was supposed to present each month. I ended the day stressed out. I came out of the meeting mostly confused than when we started this meeting. I took a walk to and surrendered to the sunlight and sat down to write about it. Tomorrow will be a new day, new start and will meditate to ease the stress. All the best!
