Hi, I'm David. I'm the Director of Parking and Sustainable Mobility Services. I've been at SFU for, oh about 12 years now. I have a background in commerce and human resource management, but you can look up my LinkedIn profile to find out more about that.
You bolster yourself in the morning, thinking, maybe today my boss won't criticize me during the staff meeting, they won't tell me that a high school student can do my job better than me. They won't yell at me over a typo in the newsletter.
You arrive in the office not knowing who to trust, as your colleagues may say something to your boss. You work hours of overtime, knowing that you won't get paid. Then you go home to get yourself ready to do it all again tomorrow.
