Capitalist Supremacist Leadership

Pros

It's hard to think of any with the way the interim CEO and exec team are acting.

Cons

The interim CEO does not respect pronouns and has created a culture of fear and hostility. It is outrageous that she prevented Trevor from signing the letter to the New York Times supporting trans folx that our peers like GLSEN and GLAAD and HRC and SAGE all signed. Her actions signal that she and Trevor don't care about trans folx and trans folx at Trevor are afraid for their jobs and worried they could be fired at any moment. All the fundraising comes from capitalist corporations and the exec team believes in hierarchical decision making and metrics for everything. We need an anti-capitalist approach and collective decision making without metrics all the time. This is not a business.

Pros

Not even worth listing - apply somewhere else

Cons

Wanna work for a trash organization that’s performative, doesn’t care about it employees, and has underlying goals rooted in capitalism? Then this is your place to be Truly THEE worst job experience I’ve had in a professional setting. Execs: don’t care about employees simply because they don’t get it. They’re so unaware of their privilege, whiteness, and lack of empathy because they kiss each others butts and only accept feedback from those that brown noise them. If you are brown and/or queer do NOT work here - they truly do not care about you and don’t attempt to learn from their limited brown staff. If I had to hear one more person at that level tell me about a death in their family or personal issue in one of our 388348 required meetings…. Pay is probably the only thing keeping people here. Even though you’re not guaranteed a raise even though you’re probably working over 55 hours . But health insurance is barely a competency as this “trans affirming” organization almost completely took away gender affirming healthcare for staff. Want to report harassment, bullying, or negative treatment? Not worth it because your feelings will be dismissed or you will be hazed to shut up/leave. HR barely responds - specifically the directors . Quick to give a severance but slow to respond to basic emails (we’re talking months people). Human Resources? An ever revolving door of people that want to help but can’t. Crisis services? Try crisis workers in crisis because their leadership causes all of their staff to run for the hills. For the first 30 days it can be fun- after that you better have therapy and doctor appointments set up because your health will decline rapidly from stress. Marketing? Performative and controlling. Don’t get me started on the training team with leaders from a dictatorship that makes their employees cry and quit. Advocacy team a.k.a the Republican Party we get it. We love to hire straight ally’s that don’t use safe language, can barely remember pronouns, bullied my Black and brown friends and simply want to work here because their sisters, uncles, nephew came out years ago and they want to do better to make up for their homophobia. no. One. Likes. Working. Here. Apply somewhere else - you’re welcome

The Trevor Project Response

Hey there. Thanks for sharing your very direct concerns... and we ARE concerned. Since there are a few new folx on the People leadership team--for a couple of us, our first week, so we may not have the context we need to address these important issues--but If you are willing to share, we are willing to listen, even though you're no longer with The Trevor Project. Please reach out to me at trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org, and let's have a conversation that we can act on...
