Ugh. Sorry I can't help but I wanted to share that I feel you and I hope things change for the best soon.

My work was similar to yours (but I have been on a leave for a while, am I ever going back? Maybe who knows) and I know the pain of only wanting to work efficiently for the sake of the entire community and have a bad manager ruin it. It's SO. DISTRESSING. And you wonder "why can't this person just... do things the right way?". And in my case I had a feeling that some of the nastier seemingly irrational people were stealing funds and turns out I was right and they were caught at last, so I just want to say hang in there because, worst case scenario, even if you can't do much by yourself, you're certainly not the only that feels pissed off at this bad situation and time tells who your allies are.

Oh, jeez, that sucks!

The worst part, to me, is that our funding literally depends on us getting our data in and doing it RIGHT. Having a digital paper trail, having things documented. And the new people aren't doing it, and the PM doesn't know *how* to do it, and it's just really.....
GRRRR.

I can only hope that someone starts paying attention.

I really like the job, i like my hours, the pay is *good* for my area, it's exactly what works for me and I'm good at it. I want to support my community, and I don't want these dumbasses fucking this to hell and gone.

Yeah, totally. And the new people don't get trained because the turnover rates are ridiculous and there is no one to train them.

This was also an issue where I worked. Then I documented everything we were supposed to do, step by step, in written format to help the new people and myself obviously. I was lucky because when things got too difficult because of COVID (obviously there was little money to steal ...) the nasty people jumped ship for a while and the new manager, who acknowledged the issue, refined my notes and shared them and things got better. There was a lot of "DIY" to make things work. I went along with it because I liked the job and pay but yeah, I think that's just how things work in these kinds of jobs unless you have a very engaged local community. It's a worthy challenge.

Best of luck and I hope things get better!!

Thanks so much!
I get people need a paycheck, but can we please be just a TINY bit selfless, sometimes?

Right?? Or rather "can't you be satisfied with an alright pay and an okay job and feel like retributing to less fortunate people in the community instead of accidentally or purposefully taking away from them?".

For some people, apparently the answer is "no"
