YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay.

I had to take a step back from writing because I’ve had quite a few exhausting months and I’m behind on here. As you can see I’m still trying to catch up from February 2026. A lot more has transpired, but I will keep going, keep showing up, and will keep writing.

This is why we cannot get ahead. Each day I am more convinced that the people in most of these roles are the wrong hire specially when it comes to Director 1. There’s maybe a handful of us carrying this whole department and afloat and the rest, just getting by. I call it how it is, not to judge but call it how it is. I am, I am stressed out, fatigued, and barely able to keep up with my own work because there’s too many staff that are not knowledgeable in this field of research and finance, it stops my progress to assist others, and answer questions due to the lack of experience of others.

I open my laptop to begin working today and I see a message, “Hey ET, just sending this message to remind me to call you and go over some information with you.” This lady is either really naive or believes she really hasn’t done anything wrong. She is okay throwing this team under the bus including me because just yesterday we had a finance meeting (blog 2/18/26) where she didn’t speak up and made up a story that we don’t have the proper budget and upset the MD. I really don’t think she knows what she’s doing and is asking me again to go over the same thing. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and went through all of the details and after another hour, repeating myself, and answering the same questions over and over she didn’t get it. I asked her not to repeat that we were shorted on our budget because it’s not true and it is upsetting the medical doctor. I have just showed her evidence. We went through the contracts with dates, went over the breakdown of the budget, the breakdown of payroll. After all this she says, “It’s so much information, I was freaked out that we had no money. The way you explain it now makes sense and makes me feel better, but I’m still not getting some parts. Can you meet tomorrow with me to go through line by line or I can do my part of the budget and you can review for me.” Oh my gosh! I said NO🫨, I’m busy. I realized that maybe you can’t fix carelessness no matter how many different ways you try. 😳

This is on her now. I cannot back track. We have had this budget for six months and she hasn’t taken the time to sit with it and think about it. All the Best!
