came up with a great idea to take the teens at work on a camping trip to a national park that's designated as an international dark site where you can see the milky way and it's right on a river so we can fish and maybe even kayak. did all this research looking for the right spot and the best dates to do it and some other cool stuff we can do to prepare them for the trip. aaaand admin has decided to steal my idea and open it up to the other teen centers in our organization and if we don't agree to that they probably will not let us do it at all

#they want me to send them my proposal so they can make a new proposal to give to the people who have to approve it #im legitimately upset about this. she said the other teen centers joining us is critical to her supporting the idea and getting it approved #we have numerous reasons why we do not want to do this not the least of which is that our teens are really tight knit #and forcing a large group of teenagers whove never met and go to different schools to 'bond' will absolutely not go well #i can understand their perspective absolutely. but its really frustrating to have my idea and research on what would be best for my teens #be taken and given to others who literally did 0 work on this because it was all my idea! and she is really making it sound like #once im done helping them with the proposal theyre going to cut me out of it and present it to upper admin without me #i have a feeling our teens will straight up not go if they have to hang out with strangers. extremely frustrating
