What should I do?

[paloftoon]

I quit staffing a convention recently, but was trusted with admin privileges, should I wait about a month before leaving a FB group, or do you think I should disassociate myself now?


I get the sense that many of the higher up staff don't care about me


well I left because even though they liked the job I was doing, I felt very disassociated from most of the staff (clique)

and I'd be possibly looking for another job in the mean time if I was being paid, I would be okay w/ that because I was getting paid. My authority to do my job was improperly stepped on by the con chair unnecessarily. There was a complete lack of communication on his part.

since I am not being paid, I expect more respect

I gave no reason to not be trusted.

my concern with leaving the FB group too soon is that since I'm 1 of 3 admin, me leaving will stick out and could cause an uproar


or people might not make a big deal about it and move on too.
I'm not sure.

sometimes it helps to get a 3rd opinion of someone not involved with the applicable organization


I almost left the con in the middle it was so bad.

Thank you.

I would just move on, you weren't paid, so not an employee, you were a volunteer to them. In most work environments paid employees have authority over volunteers PERIOD so, that might be why the seemed cliquish or standoffish to you, they may have resented your authority since you were not paid.

I should clarify that no one is paid in this particular organization (besides possible accountants and lawyers).

Thank you Beverly.
