I am the Chair of a small charitable organisation. Earlier in the year, our CEO announced their retirement and rather than appointing a replacement, we have decided to restructure.
The whole process has become very difficult. There are a couple of people within the organisation who could be promoted, but a number of the members of the committee appear to be against this - but won’t say this outright. Last year, two new members joined the committee and are influencing other committee members in this view. It is also apparent that employees within the organisation are influencing them, but it is hard for me to prove this. Unfortunately, I feel that this is now influencing other decisions that we are making - and those with a different view are now in the minority. I am finding the whole situation incredibly stressful, because I feel that we are no longer working in the interests of the organisation. I would like to resign as soon as possible. I know that this will sound ridiculous, but I can’t think of a way of doing this. Although it is the toxic nature of the situation that is leading me in this direction, I think that it will be worse for the organisation if I ‘stomp out’. My partner can’t understand this (they won’t get involved in any sort of voluntary activity) and thinks that I should simply resign. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar?
