      Development managers not valued in business

      Development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Team work - customers - feeling like you are making a difference

      Cons

      No support , blame culture , looking to blames managers for Everything and no accountability further up the Business. PMs that won’t stay . Things that change constantly. Systems that are not updated with the correct forms or procedures and then managers blamed for getting it wrong. Getting screamed at by residents or families for things you can not control . Feeling untrusted by our own company . Ask you for help one week and throw you to the wolves the next . I’ve seen it all and now it’s at the worst it’s ever been , DMs are applying else where in droves and pms !! Development managers are customer facing we are the face of retirement but are treated like the lowest of the low of no value by the wonderful staff above pms . Investigations against colleagues when conversations co hi of of taking place instead . Such a blame culture
