I hope everyone is doing okay.

These people are trying to give me anxiety! Oh my gosh! We were trying to figure out why our system was charging additional administrative fees for a category that should not charge a fee at all. By law, it’s a rule to not. I gave the finance team instruction and it’s like they don’t listen. We agree on a plan of action, but they end up doing something different. It’s not that difficult and then they start going in circles, the original request gets lost. It took the organization one week to figure what I have already told them the system was doing of overcharging administrative fees that should not be charged. If it’s not done correctly I have to be the one to explain it to the sponsor.

People are upset that I push, I question, and I force action. Well, guess what, it’s my behind on the line and I don’t want to lose my job. I can’t get worked up like this again. I am not going to do manual forecasting and submit monthly finance reports with manual changes. We have systems for a reason and we have to use them for our actual, not for me to manually forecast. Our books closed for the month so I have to get it right. It’s crazy how people think here. They hope to do a manual fix and hope the problem goes away. I”m can’t and I won’t let it go. We have to get it right. Just fix it and press the approve button.

The higher ups want me to keep giving more, do more work. They obviously don’t care to cause me stress or anxiety. In order to get a raise and change my position they want me to merge 4-5 positions into one. I have had no time to think about completing Human Resources work that I shouldn’t be doing, but here I am. No time and I guess I won’t see a raise or promotion. It’s not urgent and if the Sr. Manager is not willing to advocate for me oh well, I guess I’ll get it done when I have some time during the weekend.

I did have an interview, but I don’t think I want the job. I’m going to be very picky now. I’m watching, using my intuition, and observing managers now. If I get an offer I think I’ll turn it down. I’m overqualified anyway. All the Best!
