An Organization in need of a reset - Manager Metis Nation BC Employee Review

-Excellent benefits incl. 9.3% Pension, 15 wellness days, 15 vacation days and great coverage on extended benefits. -Most people I work with are great -Cultural training (Métis 101, Lateral Kindness training)

-Unnecessary bureaucracy and approval red tape for every step of a project = very inefficient -Colonial organization structure with strict hierarchies, which is really disappointing as an Indigenous government -Registered as a non-profit society, acting as a government, run like a profit-based company, making mandates and operational decisions in conflict with one another -Ministry work is siloed due to strict hierarchies -Many ministries are grant funded, so inconsistent and unreliable funding for programming and projects

Healthy workplace overall. Nice co-workers. Good xmas vacation time

Some management lick the boots of other management, to not rock the boat. Pretty frustrating when we keep running into the same problems over and over again, and nobody will acknowledge the elephant in the room.
