Svantaggi
Horrific senior leadership who refuse to challenge each other, stand up to abusive behavior, call out micromanagement, or enact changes in order to protect LGBTQ youth and BIPOC/trans/nb/disabled employees. In the last 9 months, the following has happened: - Former CEO caught up in an opioid scandal. You can find all the info on Google. - Former CEO gives a pathetic apology that totally skirted responsibility. - Former CEO not fired by the Board, despite hard evidence of involvement. - Former CEO hired a handful of senior leaders who followed his style of leadership (results over people, metrics over mission, departure from grassroots organization to corporate-y style, etc.) and implemented changes irrespective of the impact it had on our staff and the youth we serve. - Black and trans/nb voices repeatedly silenced during an org-wide meeting when they were asking for accountability. - An outright workers' revolution happened where multiple departments published open letters naming a number of abuses from leaders across the organization. - Employees had to sign a petition to plead with the Board to fire the CEO. They finally fired him. - Leadership shut down the general Slack channel to halt communication amongst staff. - A straight white woman was appointed interim-CEO, even after all the abuses that were related to white supremacy and transphobia. - Entire recruitment team laid off by new CPO and other senior leaders who were at the forefront of some of the abuses. - Unionization effort to protect our crisis workers, BIPOC employees, trans/nb employees, and employees with disabilities . - The effort has not been formally recognized by leadership. To say the least, it's an absolute mess here. I believe deeply in the mission, but I'm begging whoever is reading this to heed the warnings of others who provided reviews. There is continuity in them. We're fighting to right the course and turn the ship around, but there are wildly incompetent and cowardly people in senior leadership who refuse to listen and are fighting to maintain their power. Trevor will unfortunately sink if something doesn't change.
