YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is okay. I am happy my boss spoke to me of my work and he is satisfied with my progress and diligence. He addressed the elephant in the room of me being able to carry all the project management, finance, and reporting. The numbers and action speak for themselves.

He did agree that I do deserve a raise and wants me to be successful. Very much appreciate his trust. The wheel has begun to turn for me. The higher ups who lead this before me will have to have those difficult conversations and will have to answer of what happened. This is not anything I have anything to share or defend, I wasn’t here. I can only guess what might have occurred. They will have their day, it’s been mostly silence right now. There will be questions of how they continued to spend without someone stopping us and what are we doing to put tools or people in place for internal controls?

I have done everything I’ve been asked to do and continue the clean up and handle the finances. I have put some things on hold for future goals without interruption to our patients. We were not vigilant with our budgets. It went to a good cause and our patients in the end so that’s a real justification. Despite the warnings no one wanted to the “bad” guy and halt future initiatives and work. I’m happy with the guidance and decisions made thus far.

I’m about to take on 7 more projects and may have to negotiate a raise soon, not sure, but it’s not reasonable. It’s not salary, it’s my time that is valuable, what is that worth to me? My productivity is the highest already with doing 41% of the work for this department single-handedly of about 300 people. I don’t think it’s reasonable to take on another 4%. All the Best!
