I have been struggling for a few years now. While this may not be the place to vent, writing my thoughts to stay sane is best! Most of my issues have been my employment stress. I have less than a year to get to the point where I can retire. I need to hold out a little longer!
My work environment has become so toxic that it impacts the entire team. Well, not the whole team, but a majority of them. It has gotten to the point that we cannot mention the name of a previous staff member the Director does not like or who faces petty treatment. It has gotten to the point that staff has made acronyms to prevent the superior from understanding what we are discussing.
We can't do our jobs as if we upset someone with "connections." Otherwise, the superiors will take the connections' site and immediately blame the staff. We are ordered not to take action even when we know an issue exists. I had one case before the "Feeding the Children" fraud was discovered; staff was ordered to fast-track an application to allow the favored individual to continue the alleged outstanding service to the children in the community. Most team members knew it was a fraud from the start, but the head of the Department ordered a supportive approach. Two weeks before the State detected the scam, it was approved. Once the arrests started, we never heard from the applicant again.
I take pride in my job, and that is now rare for the team. People are in it for the money; they rarely care about what they do. Many have told me to check out and make easy money for the year I must retire. I can't do it, but I am concerned it will kill me if I do not.
Where to go and what to do!!!
