Lack of opportunities to truly utilize your voice and talents with proper support and resources. Use of retaliation and silencing any voices of dissent that aim to bring to light the lack of integrity in the mission and services, as well as challenges with top down power dynamics. PRN likes to bolster being a peer led agency, but those doing the brunt of the work go unrecognized mostly. CEO and c-suite staff exploit the peers they hire. Harmful HR practices that are also not in congruence with ADA or Peer Movement values. CEO has a habit of needing to be in the spotlight all of the time, overshadowing other peers at the agency and creating disempowering relational dynamics. Lack of awareness or accountability. Lots of dishonest practices and misuse of funds. Ironically, mental health care for their workers is ignored, put on the employees in a very toxic way and exacerbated by the work pressures as well as the environment. Many have experienced retraumatization, gaslighting and other abuses. If you are someone who speaks truth and challenges incongruencies, you will be met with all of the above. PRN likes to say social justice advocacy is at the heart of their work, this could not be further from the truth. Social Justice is not represented here, nor are the roots and histories of our most vulnerable, marginalized peers. Lots of white savorism and covert racism. A lot of lip service. They are embedded with many other people in positions of power which make it easier for them to maintain this facade. A look over the last 5 years alone will show you some of the heinous (many illegal) acts that led to many resigning, being bullied to quit, or wrongfully fired.
