YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. The communication is lacking and has been since I got there majority due to the way the department is structured. The training lacks, the people are not the right person for the role, and the expectorations and standards are not high for anyone. I come from having been trained formally and the places I have worked expect a lot, but rightfully so to be able to be sure I can do the job. The so called
“leaders” don’t have the same expectations and not held to them. This hurts the department. Everyone is loosely doing their job and I’m sure the way I operate they don’t really like, but it’s okay I hold myself and responsible for my role and tasks. This week has brought a reality check and the experience of others coming to light 💡 suddenly. It’s really shocking 😳!

I’m finding even more payroll entries that are not correct in addition to what I already wrote previously (blog 10/15 & 10/16). I’m ultimately responsible and so I have to take extra steps when the payroll lady doesn’t. I then have to chase her and tell her what she should do and then she gets upset 😑. She obviously didn’t receive proper training. Leadership should be looking into this and still ignore the issues. I should not have to review payroll, but here I am doing it and it’s not part of my role. I care so I do it. As it is my project so it’s solely me and it’s unfair. I’m glad I caught the errors anyway. “MM” will have to correct them anyway, but I will not sit here and watch her and complete her payroll entries and not assure her that her entries are correct. She should know, she’s an expert?

On another note MD “SE” as I’ll call him has entrusted me with as right-hand person. He trusts my judgement and knows our work in track and aligned with his goals. The budget constraints are now showing and will now have to be conservative. I’m keeping my distance from the negative people and the MD “SE” thoughtful comments and gratitude of the work I do supersedes anything sad 😔 that happened today. All the Best!
