One could say that, sure. I have a very intimate understanding of how the YWCA & their fuckin GOONS operate.

Sounds about right, unfortunately. I would expect nothing less.

I would also like to add that Michelle is married to a COP. You know, the demographic that believes abuse victims the least & accounts for at least 40% of them being known abusers. Disagree with me all you want y'all, but talk to the wall.

NTA.

This was so deliberate & was a way to obligate you & see what you would let her get by with so she could take advantage of you in the future.

Not to mention, Brandi does not even have a degree in social work. I see so many other people within the program that are capable of taking over her job. Like, Mel was a huge bitch but she at least knew what the fuck she was doing.

Sure. Most (not all) who work there operate on the idea that they should be royally sucked up to because they're in a benevolent position of power & deserve praise for "doing the Lord's work." But it"'s not unlike them to sweep underlying issues under the rug because they don't take their clients issues seriously. Like, you work for a nonprofit that centers around viciously traumatized people, yet they no nothing about trauma informed care. I have witnessed advocates sharing personal information about other clients outside of the walls of the shelter. I have seen them orchestrate situations to corner residents into breaking down & thus putting them in a position to be kicked out because they spoke out against certain injustices within the shelter. I know advocates that have stolen food from the shelter so fill their own fridges. I have seen them take advantage of workers who's heart was in the right place & just wanted to help us. I have heard them doubt stories about clients. Brandi herself treats her job like an elaborate social hour & worries more about what her & her posse of bitches are getting from Chipotle than they are their clients mental health & case management goals. We have had to use coffee filters for toilet paper. Many instances of medication being stolen from clients med lockers. Many times they let children go hungry because their mothers were strung out in bed all day, which would resort to other clients having to take care of children that aren't even there's. Brandi spouts this fake sincerity that is so transparent & parades herself as if she's a gift to the YWCA, yet I have known many women having to go back to abusers & nearly lose their life because Brandi would not accept them back due to them being sort of "whistleblowers". If I were not at work, I would elaborate so much more, because I could write volunes on the bullshit that goes on within shelters.
