The mission is amazing, highly needed services that the city desperately needs.
Minpunten
I quickly lost faith in leadership for several reasons: misalignment with the mission, purposeful miscommunication, hypocrisy, and a culture of distrust. Leadership frequently introduces chaotic policy changes that devolve into collective punishment, creating instability across the organization.
Micromanagement is excessive, resulting in bottlenecked processes that stifle efficiency. Career advancement is virtually nonexistent for anyone with less than four years of tenure, and HR support is effectively absent.
Most concerning, the treatment of Black and Brown children is disproportionately unfair. They face harsher punishments, higher rates of expulsion, and police involvement at exponentially greater rates than their white peers. The pay is also terrible for the people who do the most work.
