we’re so back. anyways as you can tell by the other pinned post, we’ve been a little busy with a lot of stuff on the backend and that’s probably going to continue into the foreseeable future

Stuck in the middle of a drama at work I would rather not know about; leadership fired a manager for apparently personal/favoritism reasons, and now their team left behind is upset - with good reason. As a manager myself, I was pretty shocked that the decision and action was taken in this way, so I am having to deal with the fallout since the staff in that department is coming into mine to seek support they feel they no longer have… I love my own team and what I do, but am starting to really question if I want to be part of a place that treats people like this. For all I know, my own neck could be on the chopping block too and I don’t know about it, any more than the manager they fired knew that was in store for them. Why are people such asshats sometimes, is beyond me.
I’ve been through that too, like all that vagueness around someone amazing being fired.
This probably doesn’t apply to your case in mine he seemed to get a little too familiar with the women, from the get go. I can imagine that instead of opening that up for the whole world to see they simply kept it vague. Of course most people were confused.
My point being that if you know you’re integral then you can feel safe again. You could always ask.
Thanks for the kind reply. At this point, being integral or not seems to mean little. This is the third time they have gotten rid of someone and brought in/promoted a “friend” instead. It’s like it’s becoming the personal playground for the person who fired them because it’s easier for her to hire in friends than actually develop some vision for our organization. I had an amazing year last year in terms of my own work, my team’s, and our deliverables, but so did the person she fired. If there is one constant in non-profits it’s that there is often a lack of accountability to otherwise normal hr standards, since all the power is held by one or two people at the most. I could take it to the board, if so inclined to advocate over this, but having been through this before at another place long ago, I know the outcome of that. It’s better to just move on.
