Hill Country Community Action jealous supervisor - lacks true merit and goodwill, employee mistreatment

*UPDATE EX-employee responds: Response to David ..a successful client advocate,
I worked for this company for 3 months and during those months I was never allowed to voice my opinion or complaint in a (required) confidential manner.
My salary was discussed with everyone working at my facility (strictly forbidden by their *own* policy), and the supervisor (there 15 years) was completely believed over anything I stated.....despite my having witness to the contrary.
I was literally set-up a number of times in order for the jealous supervisor to have a reason to call the head chiefs to meet with and find fault with me. Having enough of that banal behavior, I quit and was immediately happily employed elsewhere. As a result of seeing how children can be treated there, I would never recommend any child going to this agency.
Although this company prides itself on its meaningfulness to underprivileged children/families, it sorely lacks true merit and goodwill.....at least in this area of the country.

First, big THANKS to the Michigan lady. Secondly, unless one is slow to understand, they definitely *can* "understand" a company's operation in 3 months time! But that's when you are an objective observer. Perhaps Dave works at an office that doesn't work the same way as the one I was in and his is "Great", but as a post-graduate degreed individual, a successful client advocate, and classified as a "mental health expert", I believe I can make accurate assessments of what *I* experienced with this company. Let's not "assume" (because we know what that means) that we can possibly think we know what everyone else experiences.

I do not believe in "cannot cut the mustard". Anyone can be trained and work proficiently - all a reflection of supervisory responsibility! I would hate to think how these type of people raise children - definitely not a boost to anyone's self esteem/sounds like a very unhappy person (miserable). Too many Americans suffer from low self esteem and do not need people as such in supervisory or managment positions - and who did they know to get the job? It sounds like Dave is part of the F-Troop (camaraderie) that conforms to the innapropriate behavior that has never been corrected and will get no where - no a company, I, as a lady in my position, would invest stock in.

I have worked with Hill country Community Action for eight months now. This is a great company and helps alot of poor people. Someone that worked for a company for less than three months has no clue to what makes a company work.
