Sadly there is a culture in this company that is terrible. There are select few people who have been chosen to move along career paths set by those above the DPM. If you are not white, it seems you are rarely able to go above Property Manager. Rumors and hearsay govern your reputation by upper management whom take what they hear as gospel and never bother to get the other side of a story. Once your name is dragged through the mud it is impossible to change their minds. Even if their information is based on things that are not true. Once a certain person gets it in their mind that they want you gone they will recommend putting you on an unwarranted performance plan and if that does not work they will search for a needle in cornfield to get rid of you. No matter how long I worked for them, I never seemed to have them view me for my value, only what they heard someone say. Do not get me wrong, there were those who took the time to know me. Saw me as I was and not some non-white irritant. There are some amazing people in that company, sadly that is severely underscored by the staggering mass of people there who are just plain awful human beings. What happened was sad and uncalled for but I have seen it so many times with other people who have come and gone in a similar manner. I just never thought I would count myself among them. Watch your back and be very careful in all you do. Lest they find some mistake you made that should not even be and issue and make it one.
