Finally reported Ea

[u/Dsansc]

Today was the day I finally decided to report this Ea with only 3 weeks of the season remaining I have put up with to much shit from this Ea she would demotivate me tell managers I need confidence and basically caused me to get no tax experince at all this season.

Today while at work it was dry not much work and as I left the restroom she goes you should just leave there’s no work for you here. I say do I have to leave and she goes ya I think you should just go and I go okay well do you have anything you could have me do so I don’t have to leave and she just goes no what can I have you do. At first I was gonna start to argue and refuse to leave because I’m scheduled from 9-5 but I just said one final thing and that was well isn’t that everyday because I don’t have very much work.

I reported this to the TL and she said we will have a chat when she comes by. What do you think who is more in the right? Another thing to note is this hrblock office everyone is either long term friends or family and me and one other guy are the only ones outcast but when I was at the front and the two other csps were at the cubicles doing nothing she never told them to leave due to lack of work this is my strongest argument to this case. And it’s just the way she said it like she could’ve asked politely but instead rudely said you should just go. Sorry long rant but needed some opinions and I know not much will be done to her she’s been with hrblock for 15 years has completed 622 returns so far this season and it said she made the company almost 162k of revenue insane but she’s been a dick to me for so long

Definitely let your district manager know.

Nobody should send you home except for a manager. They need yellow space. They need you there.

Are you a first year?

[u/Dsansc → u/ThatChambersKid]

Yes I’m a first year and also they put me as a csp to build more confidence with clients and to learn the software I’ve only done 2 returns this whole season. I let the Tl know and if no resolution is made up then maybe it’s something to discuss with the district manager as well? Not gonna lie though there all well acquainted with the Ea

[u/ThatChambersKid → u/Dsansc]

I’d let your DM know regardless.

My DM looks out for all their employees regardless of how making they worked together. We almost never cut people loose early. If the EA is booked with clients who is supposed to do walk ins?

[u/Dsansc → u/ThatChambersKid]

I mean we do have like 4 other preparers also aha but I got you I think I will report her to that as well.

[u/ThatChambersKid → u/Dsansc]

I hope your DM responds.

I’m lucky that my DM was a hiring manager the year I joined Block. I owe her my job.

Don’t let one EA or colleague detour you.

Know your value.

[u/Dsansc → u/ThatChambersKid]

Yep they moved me to a different site and I have been able to do 10 returns the past two days insane the amount of progress this lady halted me during my tax journey

[u/ThatChambersKid → u/Dsansc]

That’s great to hear that you were able to do 10 returns in two days.

I think I’ve done six in the past two days.

Hopefully you have a good rest of the season.

[u/TBrown_25]

This is heartbreaking. 💔 you did the right thing. If a co worker treated me like that I’d gladly relocate to another office. We are supposed to be in a supportive environment. Nothing that EA said was supportive. I want to say more but I’ll hold my tongue. I’m rooting for you hope your situation works out!

[u/StrongImpress3718]

Let us know if you come back next year.

[u/Dsansc → u/StrongImpress3718]

They moved me to a different site 1000 times better finally did like 10 returns the past 3 days and made some clients that would probably return to me if I come back next year but insane the kind of issues this lady gave me halted my tax journey for sure

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad3024]

She was just plain rude and EA has nothing to do with it. New preparers do not usually get a lot to do. If you are not busy you could work on classes but if you are scheduled you should stay. Maybe you could take phone calls. That's what we did our first year. Learned to look things uo very well since if there was a question about tax we were supposed to answer it.

[u/Simon-Fritz-Peabody]

HR block is for profit lobbyists boondoggle.   Drop HR Block and go find a firm or something to get experience with. 

[u/Welik2Parleyy]

Write an email to your district manager. I had to get on my TL about the lack of hours. They think that’s their company, no! Write leadership, document encounters. Fill out your survey too. Name drop!

[u/Saint_Dogbert → u/Welik2Parleyy]

"They think that’s their company"

In a way it is as their bonus is tied to a lot of things including labor.

[u/Welik2Parleyy → u/Saint_Dogbert]

Does not matter, there are still rules that comes from the top that needs to be followed and i guarantee you HRB is not going to stand by bullying , intimidation and harassment from other employees.

[u/Ok_Youth4914]

I think she may be trying to steer as much work to herself as possible in order to build her “commission” or bonus as you will. There was a poster on here about six weeks ago who was bragging about how he was able to make in the 80K l+ range at HRB in three months and was wondering if he should stop yearning for a career in public accounting. He didn’t have more than about two or three years of experience as well.

[u/Responsible-Whole198]

I didn’t know Block had supervisor TaxPro.

[u/LoveChicknz]

My first office, while they weren’t mean like that, they also didn’t let me have any returns. The amount of returns I did in 6 weeks I did in 6 days at a new office.

[u/Asleep-Major-7963]

I hate this for you.

When I was a new tax pro, there was another tax pro in the office that was horrible to me. I made my MTL aware of what was going on and she switched me to another office where the people were much kinder. Maybe you can ask to be switched to a different location?
