I hope everyone is doing okay.

I have had challenges this week, but people are beginning to listen and are accepting guidance. I do have people on my side and that’s okay. Despite the many of negative responses and emotions from others I’m holding strong through my experience, facts, and authenticity. A problem-solver I’ve become because others don’t have the capacity to do so, many lack the experience and/or training one after another whether it’s my job or not. People have tried to catch me or make me look bad and have failed at it. Incredible, but I’m pushing through and put a stop to drama wherever necessary.

Today I was given another task that each quarter they want me to go through 150 staff and confirm whether there are any changes with staff’s time on projects. Things change based on contracts and you should make the appropriate changes to fulfill the contract. I also give them the support needed directly from the contract to make the changes. So if the contract dictates the change then do so. Time changes to projects fall under the HR team, not me, but because they are not confident in their job they need to me to assist and confirm staff time on projects. Even though I have given them all the details and who goes where they still want me to confirm what I already gave them again. The information you pull from the system confirms the information, and if I have any additional information the HR team would be the first to know.

It’s funny when I need something no one is willing and I get zero responses but it’s them I have to move mountains. Upon responding to their request I have to teach them about research projects again. They still won’t take the time to take training on research administration. Even though I disagree with their view of this department structure I went ahead and confirmed. It took me a while to download what I needed from the system and review it I still gave them what they needed. Not worth a battle. All the Best!
