Hello - I am asking for prayer on behalf of my friend / roommate. She's facing a difficult situation at work. If you can, please pray for her job security, and that she can be respected and trusted by her superiors.
My friend was assigned to an unfamiliar role a few weeks ago, to cover a maternity leave. However, she was never given any training for it. She's diligent and hardworking, so it went well at first... but there was a problem earlier this week. She followed all of the expected procedures (as far as she knew) to fix it, and when she asked, her manager there said it was fine. However, without getting formal training, she didn't know that this role had additional obligations... or that the situation was far more serious than she realized. It turns out that it was absolutely critical that certain people, from a department much higher up than she was, had to be contacted immediately if anything at all went wrong. And since she had never been told about this, or even given their contact information, that didn't happen. Two days later, an extremely severe issue came up within the company, and it was all traced back to my friend. She asked the team for backup, but instead, they denied all responsibility and said that it was her fault for not saying anything. My friend has been pulled into nearly a dozen meetings with upper management ever since, and although she's been able to clear up the more serious accusations, she's still involved in a major investigation. And since she's the "new kid", she's an easy target to be used as a scapegoat. Some of the upper management is just assuming it was her, based on her age and rank.
My friend's actual manager from her "home team" has thankfully stepped up to defend her, and since she had everything in writing, her team isn't able to pin it all on her anymore. She's also apologized many times, taken accountability, and made plans so that it wouldn't happen again. However, the situation has been incredibly stressful for her, because her citizenship application depends on her employment. She loves her job, and wants to continue, but this situation has taken a real toll on her.
If you're able, please pray that the truth will come out for her, both to mend her reputation and secure her employment. She isn't actually a Christian, but she's so open to me talking about Jesus/God... and she genuinely believes that my (our!) prayers work. When I asked her if I could make some prayer requests, she smiled, and said she would be so thankful for it. So I've also been praying that God will continue to show up in her life, too.
Thank you!
