I could go into the data here around pay equity and market analysis for each market, but it's not what I think you want to hear here. What I can go into though is an ask: With the change happening in the world which is going to escalate quickly, I want you to use your voice and turn to your team leads with the facts and data they would need to stand behind you and your concerns. Together, we can make a difference, but it takes us placing critical thinking in the forefront.

Our roles in multifamily are like none other. We are directly responsible for the happiness and safety of hundreds of thousands of people and by extension, the people they care about. That's the job and it sometimes comes at our own expense. Trust me, I've been there and know what you mean. Together however, we have the opportunity to lift each other up. It takes us thinking through our experiences and matching it with our hopes, then voicing that at every turn, tempered with adjusting to change. Sounds like you are well on your way here towards defining what could be moving forward.

Pros

Allowed to make my own decisions on most all day to day operations. Good pay. No micromanaging for the most part. Great support and resources, once you figure the proper way to access the information.

Cons

Regional Maintenance Supervisors are overloaded. Navigating the processes and how to utilize them.

I'm jumping up for joy here reading your thoughts around being curious about the information. Maintenance Team Leaders sit at the nexus between the day to day business and long term success of the community. Being curious about and using information is the hallmark of a true maintenance professional.
