Advocating for myself – 11/12/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. In this place you are on your own. If something isn’t working out for you then it’s tough luck. The mantra should be “You are on your own if you want to work here.” People are hesitant to support. I probably only have had about five people at one…

Incoming reinforcements – 11/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The “corner” as I call the higher ups all sit in one section which is the corner of the floor, away from all the chaos with their doors shut is what I call them. The click that consists of 4-6 that really don’t have the experience to hold their…

Another bailout – 11/06/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am forcing myself to work. A lot to get done. After last week I can’t dedicate the same energy, less passion to my work. No one knows or understands because it’s not them in my shoes. it’s an awful feeling that you put everything of yourself into your…

Signs of a toxic job? – 11/04/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It seems gossip rules around here and I try to stay far from it. Today “PEI” as I call her attended a conference to train on research topics. “PEI’s” colleague and a great co-worker to me resigned her position last month. She resigned because both “PEI” and “DD” the…

My work is only good – 10/30/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. So I didn’t notice a late email on Tuesday night the boss sent me to stop by the administrator’s office and talk to him about my performance evaluation before I added a rebuttal to my response of the performance. I am not upset because I had a hunch, but…

Doesn’t feel like a party – 10/29/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I woke up not wanting to commute to work. I had to because I have committed to help an MD’s assistant to put a birthday party together for her boss. He’s really well liked and popular and I agree. I picked up a couple custom cakes for the party.…

Facing more bad news – 10/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I started working at 8:20am this morning. Had a little late start to my work day. I took my time and took a deep breath and prayer before I got my day started. I feel I’m in a nightmare, this really happens at work and to me. I question…

Friday reflection – round and round we go – 10/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. My performance evaluation is coming up. I evaluated myself already and it’s weird because I didn’t get any feedback and I wasn’t sure how to answer the questions or the process because it’s my first cycle going through it at this organization. I’m sort of anxious because my boss…

Past due – morning fires – 10/23/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I didn’t have good sleep last night and woke up with a bad headache. I’m also taking medication for a tooth ache and makes me sleepy 🥱 too 😪. I have a pending dental appointment because I seem to have an infection under a tooth at the back of…

Friday reflection – standards and expectations – 10/17/25
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…
