TD Farrell Construction, Inc

A typical day at work consisted of reviewing job cost reports, budget vs. actual, assisting the other Accounting representatives that I managed with any issues that they had and tried to aid them to find a solution.  I worked with Financial Statement Preperation, Account Reconciliation, Bank Recs, I managed five subsidiary companies.  I handled all the company fleet, company credit cards, project closeouts, and assisted the controller with annual reports, d&bs, Human Resources, Processing Payroll, & reviewed change orders, contractual documents for accuracy, reviewed & approved all billings to the owner, monitored cash flow.  I learned as a Manager you must step back from the group you work with because you are in a managerial position.  You do not want reps working under you to think you are showing partiality towards another person in the department.  I also learned that when confronted in a heated situation it is better to listen and then simply reply with I will research and get back with you which will remove both parties from the equation so each party can calm down.  I think as a Manager you should have weekly meetings with your department and listen to their suggestions and take those into consideration to improve departmental processes.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The role is full time and includes occasional travel. It is still preferable to being confined all day in an office with indifferent superiors. Full time status includes company benefits and occasional bonus pay when available. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Instructions were often unclear and communication with management, including supervisors and managers, was consistently poor. There is a lack of transparency, and key information is rarely shared, leaving employees constantly guessing. When mistakes happen, blame is quickly shifted onto staff despite the lack of clear direction, creating a deeply discouraging pattern where it feels like nothing is ever done right. This leads to frequent resignations and a steadily rising turnover rate. Employees are made to feel unvalued and like they are not truly part of the organization, and dismissals feel abrupt and as if contributions do not matter at all.

I actually thought management trusts their employees to do their jobs and thought they trusted me to make decisions that involves the projects they assigned me with. But apparently I was delusional to think that! I was reprimanded for making decisions without management knowing! Apparently I was not supposed to do anything on my own even if it was urgent and would cause delays! They’d rather pay a fine than trust me with the project! It’s ridiculous! It’s also because they can throw the blame on me after anyway! Whether they’re right or wrong, they always blame faults and mistakes, fines and charges to us anyway!! There’s no way to avoid being wrong! Because to them, they’re always right! They don’t even need to twist facts, you’re the employee, they’re the ones paying you, so you’ll never be right! Working here is so terribly demoralizing. How leadership works is unjust. They don’t deserve my effort, sacrifices, and everything I do for the company!! Not a surprise learning how high the turnover rate here is!

People are pushed far beyond what they are capable of handling, and then blamed when mistakes inevitably happen under that pressure. Even when employees clearly communicate that they are not ready for certain responsibilities, management ignores those concerns and forces the assignment anyway. There is a constant implication that refusal or hesitation will result in termination, creating a fear driven environment where people feel trapped into compliance rather than supported in their growth. It becomes a cycle of unrealistic demands followed by blame when expectations are not met, with little regard for whether the workload is actually reasonable or achievable.
