Crossing fingers and toes for your interview, Good vibs on the way, keep us posted,....
I had an interview yesterday for a family advocate in a national organization in the county I live.
I feel very strongly that they contacted a previous employer that had some bad clique and office nepotism going on. They had some issues, I tried to stay out of.
I could feel something was up for months when a social workers dd was hired. a first year college major, for a high risk position with a minimal sociology degree, law enforcement for criminals and abused women with visitation orders.
I never opened my mouth, kept my nose clean. I saw hrs reduced, cases given to the staffs’ dd. the only cases I was getting were the long time highest risk most complicated.
I felt what was going on, I was under a microscope.'
There were security breaches and the entire staff and the clients were at risk, this was never addressed, because of lack of training and knowledge.
Then one day I was told, I did not put a monkey back in the correct container, it was in a zoo box, not Dora. I assume a child returned the item. I have to clean up with children, but nothing about sorting hundreds of toys.
Another time I was told I left a computer on, and did not enter the case. I had notified the case worker there was a prior problem as the family was entered as starting services of Oct of that year, however this was only June. She stated that she would take care of it. She forgot and closed the program without the corrections...
When my supervisor said she wanted to discuss my missing training I was dumbfounded. I had applied for training, but never had an approval the funds were received.
I knew where that was headed. I kept my cool and showed the documents that I have an request, I have a notification for training the following month approved, however, I never received anything for that date.
In fact they all made arrangements to drive with each other to attend.
I never heard a thing.......
I was asked to sign a document as a written warning that I will sort all toys, attended all training, and be attentive to client confidentiality????
I did not sign anything, explaining that is admitting to items I was wrong, and not correct. Sign or be removed from the schedule. I was removed from the schedule,
So my dream job that I excelled at for years in a moment was gone,
Gee like I once said, it all started the week HR, a co- program person, confronted me about being able to carry my work load, and my retirement income as being social security disability.....
Recently I reapplied for this position, and the document was received and sent back as refused, coming from an anonymous source. Twice two different email addresses.
SOooo today, they ask me if I understand confidentiality, files for clients how important that is.
How do I organize myself, keep track or trainings and meetings,
How would I handle work place conflicts?
They asked about my means to keep track, I felt gee this is really a detail that I never normally would encounter, where is that from????
I pulled out my planner, I explained while it is personal, I would not give details, but opened it to show the monthly planner, and slots of business cards, the address book, and ink.
Personal and work appointments.
By then I absolutely felt, they must have contacted the previous employer as that is what they said, I did not attended an approved training,
I understood from a previous separation in that agency they could only state that the person worked there and if they would be eligible for rehire?
First, not of what happened was true, I am a total professional, I was not going to argue over the clique, just do my job. This agency LOST their funds over the security and no longer can provide it to families....
It is a shame, but HR ran out 3 employees prior to my leaving, one was her gf sister that she adored, until they took a trip to NYC and had a falling out. Within two weeks, she was gone. One other woman had a baby and when she came back was nursing, HR went into the room and asked her how long that was supposed to go on. From their it was the slient treatment, stated she did not file her paper work correctly, This girl is a typical Queen Bee personality. and a Controling person.
I have been a detective for about 28 years. I can just feel that the previous agency was contacted and related what they had in that letter they wanted me to sign.
I have been asked about team work, work place conflict.....but this was a neck hair standing upright.
Wanting to know how I keep my records?
I KNOW HOW IT FELT! just as if they faxed that letter to the interviewer!
Every issue was brought up. Who do you think they will believe, that letter I refused to sign, or my extensive resume and credential....
NOW I am feeling really PO's if this is true, I am black balled!!!!!
DANG,.
