Fort Bend County

Honestly, so far the only pros are my health insurance and a short commute, THAT’S IT!!! Sadly enough, nothing more. 


Unethical, Fraud, Abuse of Power & Authority, Cheat, Cover-Ups, and Betrayal is what you will get, see, witness, and experience at Fort Bend County. 


As an employee and most importantly as a citizen and a tax payer of this county; the county Elected and Non-Elected officials, including the HR Directors and Upper Management team have a lot of questions to answer to the people of this county. 


I have witnessed abuse, salary favoritism, hiring biases and people be put in a position of power and authority who have abused the entire system. To give you an idea, a real life situation, read this. 
One of my indirect “Manager” used to drive an Ice-Cream truck before getting hired as a Ops-Manager, earning more than $30 an hour, WITHOUT any experience let alone department field or management experience and a degree, not even a high school diploma. If that doesn’t boil your blood, if you’re an educated individual who knows how hard it is to earn a degree and get a good job than I don’t know what will. 


In my department ALMOST ALL  of the Managers get special treatments. Such as, no one bats an eye or dare say anything when they don’t show up at work. They all take weeks worth of vacations, late arrival and early departure when they finally do show up at work, and countless days of missed work and no-show to work WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES! They all make more than $65-80K annually, with great benefits and savings plan to work 2 or at times 3 days a week for 4-5 hours a day on average. If this too doesn’t boil your blood, than I don’t know what will. 


So many of us have complained to the so called “HR” department and to even the previous elected officials and to the new ones too, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED & INFACT SOME OF MY NICE, PROFESSIONAL, EDUCATED co-workers and few others who complained actually lost their jobs and or got fired or transferred to another department and then got fired so the employee doesn’t have any “valid” case for lawsuit under Whistleblower Protection Act. 


My question is that how long are we going to live and endure this abuse? How long are we going to just sit back and fear of losing our jobs and be treated this way? We the employees need to rise and roar, WE, THE TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTY NEED TO RISE AND PUT AN END TO THIS CORRUPTION. 


We are at fault for not saying anything, we pay their salary through our hard earned money. 


Are we all blind? 


It’s obvious, even the new officials will not do anything to make change. But, we can. 

BTW: notice how after every TRUE review posted by an employee, a nice new, positive, happy, fake reviews are added to manipulate and keep the ratings at a good stand. If you read the reviews at all other websites you will see the same pattern and trend. If this doesn't explain what we as employees go through than I really don't know what will. :(

The County has no shame in insulting and disgracing its employees, peers, and individuals who are less than them in rank and "stature." 

The Management, Directors, Supervisors, HR, and ALMOST all of the higher-ranking individuals will cover-up for one another and will throw an innocent person or a group of employees to save and protect their unmerited position, power, and high-pay salary. 

I have seen Management pass racial comments and insults and are more partial towards an employee or a group based on who knows who, and who referred that person to the position so on and so forth. 

Most of the people starting from a Receptionist to the most highest-ranking position have either earned their education while working at the County during the County working hour or DO NOT have any prior experience or training to support the reason for holding their current position they were so "fit" to be hired for. WHY? Because the County's team of Management, Directors, and Supervisors hire their friends, family members, and ONLY those who will be in favor of them and continue supporting, working, obeying, and performing the task that benefits and profits them directly. 

Some of these individuals have been given the position because they have been with the County since they were in their early 20's, who, to this day, LACK TRAINING & EXPERIENCE TO SUCCESSFULLY CARRY OUT THEIR ROLE without being a modern tyrant ruler in the department. 

Those who are quiet, bare discrimination, racial comments, mistreatment, and cruelty; will continue to keep their jobs. Those who utter a word will be harassed and chased out of work. 

There’s racial, age, gender, and pay disparity in the County, and no one has questioned them!! 

That's what it's like to work at Fort Bend County in a nutshell!!!

Typical day at work will feel like repetitive paper-pushing tasks, and you will only be allowed to complete those tasks in the style and order that the dept. manager prefers. No initiative, creativity, or suggestions are welcomed, you weren't hired to have a voice or ideas. If you dare to do something not robotic you will be punished. The manager doesn't have you do things a certain way because it's the best way, they have you do it a certain way because they're power hungry bullies. I learned that working for the county is not a wise choice if you have options to work elsewhere. The county gives its managers too much freedom to abuse their authority without consequence. Employees are always in fear of being instantly written-up and/or fired for minor things, but mangers are fearless because they answer to no one. It's important to befriend coworkers because they are the only thing that might keep your spirits up and make the job bearable. Overall the workplace culture is unhealthy and unpleasant because of management. They seem to purposely try to make you feel worthless and incapable of completing something without their input.The hardest part of the job is having to swallow your dignity and accept being belittled and talked down to just so you don't get fired. If you attempt to remind management that you are not incompetent and you are an adult who deserves to be treated with respect, you may end up fired.The most enjoyable part about the job is the hope that what you've learned will be a useful contribution to your resume and help you gain better employment opportunities elsewhere.

The average workday is a nine hour shift that starts with everyone is told what their assignments are for the day. Since I am herbicide / vector control my days are either preparing for and setting out or collection mosquito traps. When not trapping mosquitos I apply herbicides to public right of way to control vegetation. The end of the day is completing all required paperwork for state requirements and daily log sheets for supervision.

The main thing which I learned was to just keep your head down and get the job completed and stay out of the politics.

The supervisors are good people who want to do the best they can, but have their hands tied from the people above them.

Co-workers are good people for the majority that work hard and get their tasks completed and help others once they are done with their assigned tasks.

The hardest part of the job is trying to stay out of the petty politics that occur working for a government entity.

The part of the job that I enjoy the most is helping out the public with their mosquito problems. The reason for this is that it can literally be a matter of life and death.

I worked for one dept for over a year.  I resigned due to a family illness that would require me to be out of state.  I gave a month's notice, trained my replacement but apparently that wasn't good enough. Once my family crisis was over I reapplied for my previous position and didn't even get a call back even though in my exit interview I was told I was eligible for re hire.
I also helped another dept for over 5yrs. Once a permanent position opened up I was not hired because the person who would be my supervisor didn't agree with a decision i made in my personal life and threw a fit about them hiring me.
Everyone is either related to someone or has friends in every dept. Once you cross someone, that's it - You'll never get hired again! The office politics are just unbelievable! They may as well stab you in the back for real - it would hurt less!

You may love animals but it’s not enough to work at this place. The work culture is terrible. The drama is worse than a high school. Expect to be belittled, excluded, threatened, talked about, and just plain bullied. Grown adults act worse than teenagers. Don’t expect to talk to management and HR and issues to be heard or resolved. Good hearts and deeds are punished. People who have done horrible things get away with it at this place. Employees would pick which dogs they wanted to live and which to be euthanized, like their lives didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much you do or how much you may love the animals, the work environment is not worth your mental health. The only good part was helping the animals, but they deserve so much more care than they get here.

A normal day consist of reviewing and processing requisitions from departments and providing them with the best quality merchandise/service for a faircost if possible.  I work on Request for Quotations for department where we have light construction work involved, work with departments and the county attorney office and risk management office to provide professional services for some of our county needs.
The supervisors allow anopportunity to learn more as long as your daily workload is maintained.  The staff works well together as a team and we are always willing to assist when necessary.
My greatest joy is when I have learned a new taskor a new responsibility and I am able to grasp the consept quickly and move forward with new opportunities.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Location, benefits and work schedule.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very political which makes it difficult to build trust and comarderie.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Process and procedures only apply to those not in the clique—toxic, low morale, cutthroat, little to no accountability or respect. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic, dysfunctional, no departmental onboarding so you learn as you go but more than likely your learning is who to please and not on job duties.

If you want an easy going work environment, this is the place.
Technological advancements in the library service are a bit slow coming, but the place is definitely good for getting hands on training in it when it does get there. Management is supportive of their staff, and are compassionate. Co-workers are great. The hardest part would be the older devices you have to work with. These older devices don't lend themselves to todays tasks as well, making the job a bit more tedious. The most enjoyable part of the job is the schedule and laid back nature of the tasks at hand. They want them done, but at 5PM it's time to go home.
