How is this any different from just going to a regular bank?

I hear that working for non-profits in general have a bad reputation, since they tend to not pay much (despite their CEOs being filthy rich), and apparently nobody actually cares about not making a difference. They just wanna get out of paying taxes.

From my personal experience, we ALWAYS had a shitty CEO who would never listen to us. But at the very least, we had better managing attorneys who our CEO refused to keep in favor of a worse managing attorney that our CEO liked better.

Care to elaborate more?

I have, actually. How's welding? I hear it's like sewing but with fire.

I'm not a lawyer, I'm a receptionist/legal assistant. There are no other non-profit law firms in my area.

So what do you do when your workplace goes to shit?

[–] LarryBetraitor@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

To be clear, I'm not a lawyer.

How do you find jobs that aren't on the map?

How do I talk to co-workers of a job that I don't have?

My former managing attorney is looking, actually.

 

I work for a nonprofit law firm, and I used to enjoy working with them because my co-workers were easy to get along with, and I felt like my work was meaningful. I wasn’t just filling the pockets of some rich guy who wanted more money, I was helping low-income people in the right direction to obtain an attorney when no one else could help them.

Ever since new upper management took over, things only went downhill from here. More than half of our staff is gone ever since our new managing attorney showed up, yet she still insists on blaming us instead of taking responsibility.

My new manager has loathed me (and my co-workers) since day one. She’s constantly looking for small non-issues to blow out of porportion and act like they’re a big deal.

I already know I’m getting fired. They haven’t told me, but it’s obvious they want me gone. They put me on probation because I “followed the directions of my old supervisors, and my new one didn’t like it”. Whenever I express my concerns, she plays the “Nuh uh, I don’t wanna hear it!” card.

Where am I supposed to go from here? I wouldn’t mind making less money than I currently make, which is $43,000 per year.
