Hello all you antiworkaholics!
I may not have 15-20 years experience into the profession, but I can sure as hell rub at least 2 brain cells together to have some occurrence one may call critical thinking.
Just to be forthcoming, I work in the public government at the local county level.
I have been working for this part of the government for about 2.5 years and I've worked in the same capacity elsewhere for another 2.5 years.
I saw some serious deficiencies in multiple facets of my job, and the issues were creating problems for me and all of my coworkers.. I had enough bitching and complaining, so when a position opened up to proactively create change, essentially an auditing position, I jumped at it.
I got the position, and began work auditing all areas of my work. Over the course of my self-education of my own job duties, because nobody else knew how to do my job, I found a plethora of issues which I would assume supervisors and executive level personnel/ leadership would have a firm grasp of… and be able to effectivelyimplement solutions to the issues.
I find myself not only doing my job duties, but essentially coaching and consulting mid to executive management on a near daily basis and communicating with THEIR teams because of so many complaints from their teams of failed communications.
I've only just started this position a few months ago and i work on the public sector, so a raise is kind of out of realm of possibility. What would you do if you were in this situation?
Thanks:)!
