NC for obvious reasons.
I really don't know what to do, and I have a bit of a tendency to jump the gun and leap into action without thinking things through properly so I wanted to get some advice first.
I work for a relatively new charity and honestly the CE is clueless. I can't be too specific and I'm sorry (I know how annoying it is when people do that), but I'm talking things like suddenly saying she needs a large sum of money to spend on a consultancy contract when the money hasn't been budgeted for - and yet the consultants have already started work!
In general there is a massive culture of everything being done at the last minute and very hapharzardly. A budget earlier in the year was submitted for a huge funding bid and I was asked to put it together in an hour, despite the fact that it had been known about for months (but I wasn't told). It was then altered after I sent it through and half the figures for salaries etc were completely wrong - I had to correct them, again at the last minute.
I really love my job and it is brilliant in terms of flexibility (I have two young DC) so I don't want to rock the boat but equally I feel really uncomfortable with the way things are run in terms of governance in particular.
Our Chair is nice but hands off, personal friends with the CE and therefore she is pretty useless. There are other board members I could go to but I feel like such a mean bitch.
WWYD?
