I am staying late at work to finish my monthly report, which I probably have no chance of finishing. While in the mist of data entry I think about my work performance. It’s no secret I work for a predominately black gay man non profit, so I have no qualms about saying some of the things that I am going to say. It’s hard, very hard. i don’t want to think that people want to make me look in-confidant but they do. Do I try? In the past I have because I felt that the people were and I felt my points were valid. Do I feel like a victim? In the past I would have said yes, but in the present I don’t. The reason is because I think anyone in this situation would be drowning. I don’t get enough support to do my job, meaning man power, time, or understanding. There are some things attached to my job that I know the agency expects me to do, that really is not what I am suppose to do. Those things don’t get done. I try every now and then to get them up to par, but then I don’t get them up to par.
I am taking advice.
P.S. I am looking for another job also.
Non-profit work is hard and wrenching. I hope things are better soon or that you find something you like better. 🙂
Thank you. I try!
