admin assistant pay - Evaluación del empleado para Administrative Assistant en Mercy Relief

You will feel like you are making an impact sometimes.

Before I joined, a previous employee told me to avoid the company because the leadership is toxic. In my naivety, I joined and found out that the company had multiple cycles of mass resignations every few years. Mercy Relief is notorious in the industry for having incredibly fast turnover. The only common denominator is the board of directors. I stayed as long as I could to try to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of donated funds could be put to good use, but to no avail. The board, in their ignorance and incompetence, would block projects without reading proposals or without a credible basis. They would overload the staff with unreasonable expectations, treat staff harshly and disrespectfully, put staff safety at risk with reckless decisions, excuse blatant sexual harassment as 'oh it's just the way he talks', have told us to cancel aid projects for Palestinians, and conduct surveillance on staff through CCTV cameras. We had to postpone multiple projects for Gaza for months without end, withhold aid to disaster-struck areas, because they hold all the approving authority, but will not read their emails or take any accountability for their absence and poor decisions. The culture normalises overworking without any support. They have directed the team to allocate funding along religious lines. The company is great at marketing itself, but the impact, expertise, and capacity are a facade. The 'expertise' that they purport is essentially the compelling of staff to overwork. This company is teetering on collapse, covers up severe governance issues, and the board will throw the staff under the bus for it and lie to cover up. We mass resigned in silent protest.
