Worked at a nonprofit in homeless services. My company had divisions in 16 different cities. In my city we managed a low income housing unit in conjunction with the city.
One day a client of mine, who lives in our managed apartments, is yelling about living conditions, roaches, bedbugs, mold. And said how it never gets taken care of. Well, I felt personally responsible since he lives where we are suppose to manage.
I decide to talk to the CFO. Her and the CPO say there's no money, apartment management is a loss every year, and this year was -$10k in the red. I'm skeptical and ask for the accounting report. She Slacks me a quick hand typed response and calling that the official report. I say I can go to finance department and ask them for it if you're too busy. She then sends the actual report.
Turns out they were $9k profit for the year not -$10k……. I asked where the money went. I got no answers Except for my direct boss saying, “are you crazy? Don't bite the hand that feeds you!!!”
Welp to sum it all up, 1.5 months later I was laid off due to a loss of grant funding that covered my job. Yet the CEO had boasted a $250k reserve “the biggest we've ever had!” She said, to protect us if times ever got tough….
Anyway, the day I was laid off, all communication avenues were cut off 40 minutes after the convo with hr. I also asked to transfer my client caseload to others, and they said no. Even though I had 4 more weeks until the grant contract actually ran out. I guess they were scared I would cause trouble???? 🤷‍️ meanwhile the homeless clients suffered….
