I hope everyone is doing okay. I was expecting a showdown between myself and the “corner” over “PEI” sharing with others to come to me for any financial help despite I am not assigned to her projects. “PEI” is fully aware which projects I work on and it’s not hers.
Her boss “DD” fully supports “PEI” whether right or wrong. I wish I had this too. (Blog 4/9/26) I turned in all my documents and receipts of all the work I completed on the project that did not belong to me. “DD” couldn’t provide any evidence. He acknowledged that “PEI” is not qualified for the job she was recently promoted to. I was asked to put up boundaries and I responded how if I wasn’t asked in advance. How can I put up boundaries if no one is asking me, the staff are just being directed to me, unannounced. The work just came to me and I’m not going to say no when the people that come to me shouldn’t be doing financial work. I will not include them in the issue I will only help. I am a problem-solver and then I’ll go back and ask later why which is why we’re here. “DD” told me I should’ve gone to “PEI” myself. Why? No one came to me, she’s not my subordinate, shouldn’t it be you? You knew this was going on and didn’t stop it. She started the rumors and people come to me directly. I would have stopped it if she came to directly. This goes both ways. I felt as if now I was about to start defending myself. My boss didn’t even jump in to support me and the Sr. Manager said nothing.
The administrator intervened, as if he knew it was not going anywhere and caught on. I was given 30 days, one month to get it together, train, and start cleaning up. “PEI” is going to be given more training. She’s been here almost 3 years. I have been here 15 months now and I’m using systems to almost 90% understanding and usage. The administrator reminded us that we’re a team and should help each other of which I get none of. I responded to him, “I wish I could agree with your comment, but unfortunately I don’t see it happening from this end.” I wasn’t fired, but also I was praised. A bit too late, but also I didn’t bring this on, ya’ll called me on this topic. It really didn’t affect me in any way. They didn’t make anything easier for me either. All the Best!
