Perpetuating the toxicity in digital fundraising - Recensione dipendente - Senior Digital Strategist presso New Blue Interactive

I was hired by NBI and it was the first political job I ever had. While I started out as an AC and worked my way up to an SDS, it became very apparent that I wasn't always promoted due to my skills but lack of people in more advanced jobs. I worked on a minimum of 6 clients and a max of 9, this is not normal and was constantly overworked. NBI's top-line culture comes off very welcoming, but the workplace is fulled by gaslighting and toxic positivity. Senior staffers are not looking out for their teams, they're more interested in getting bonuses and bringing on more clients -- who they sell services too that junior staffers can't fulfill or are underprepared for. When these issues are brought up to senior staffers the response is "this is just the digital space" "this is the industry you picked" "that's just the way it is." It's not. The culture, space, lack of training, and emotional and mental drain is not normal in any workplace, and multiple digital spaces are working to change it. I believed unionizing would fix the problem, I'm fully behind the union efforts and I was sad to leave when I did because I truly wanted to see it through. However, the management team is doing everything in their power to slow the union down and union bust. They are not a progressive firm, they're filled with moderate dems looking to pay the bills and support unions and change except in their own work place.
