Development officer at the Roman Catholic Church

Hello everyone, I work as a development officer at the Roman Catholic church. I research and apply for grants, develop and communicate giving and planned giving strategies, coordinate between different parishes. I am responsible for 33 in total. I also manage the donor data base and write newsletter and letters on behalf of the archbishop for prompt giving for collections. I have surpassed my goals and put in work much more than anyone else in my office. My boss has not liked me from the start because he doesn’t like the fact that I asked for more money after a year of good reviews by my “acting “ boss in my regular bosses absence. He spends most of his time travelling, at dinner or lunch gatherings, or some other way of avoiding work, so he tends to dump the financial administrations work on me. I told him that it is…


Hello everyone, I work as a development officer at the Roman Catholic church. I research and apply for grants, develop and communicate giving and planned giving strategies, coordinate between different parishes. I am responsible for 33 in total. I also manage the donor data base and write newsletter and letters on behalf of the archbishop for prompt giving for collections. I have surpassed my goals and put in work much more than anyone else in my office. My boss has not liked me from the start because he doesn’t like the fact that I asked for more money after a year of good reviews by my “acting “ boss in my regular bosses absence. He spends most of his time travelling, at dinner or lunch gatherings, or some other way of avoiding work, so he tends to dump the financial administrations work on me. I told him that it is not possible for me to do both my duties and his. His suggestion is that I “man up for Jesus” honestly and don’t eat lunch, take my breaks, and especially go to the bathroom, I probably go like once a day but he has shakes his head as I walk back into the office. The rest of office staff is good quite reasonably but he makes the environment very bad. I need this job plus he has ruined other employees reputations so they can’t find work within the city . Essentially, he has defamed multiple of my other co workers who left; three of whom are on stress leave. I need this job to support my family and I enjoy helping people. I just don’t know how to navigate this situation because he tends to treat people as disposable object who he exploit, use up, and discard. For that reason, we go through office staff fast enough that I have trouble keeping up with names.
