PRS-Specialist
I work at the medical respite care shelter for the homeless for men. I am a peer recovery support specialist. I am actually trained to work with women with mental health and trauma-related informed, plus I lived with the experience. I am struggling at my job that they wanted me to do case-management position. I have been helping male clients to get into affordable housing. I remember that I am a state-certified peer specialist. There are times, I could not help a very difficult clients that is "outside of my level" of practice.
I tried to explain to my supervisors what I am trained to do. When I received the poor evaluation. I felt like I am not so valued at the job. Sometimes I feel hopeless. I have talk to my employment specialist and my mentors to see what are the options that I may have.

Benefits Question:
I have worked with my current employer 10+ years and am at our maximum PTO accrual rate of 5 weeks/year. I've been looking at changing companies and have interviewed with a few. When I talk to HR, they often tell me the benefits package and note that I'd start, as a new employee, at the bottom rung of PTO accrual (often 2 weeks). Is this often negotiable? Is it unreasonable to think that the same years of experience that make me a good fit for a role should also qualify me for the higher PTO accrual rate? I realize I may not get all the way to where I am today, but to go from 5 to 2 is a kick in the gut.

Need urgent advice, Recruiter Dilemma.
I submitted two R&Rs to two different recruiters for the same contract job.
The first recruiter, I don't know if he submitted my R&R, and they told me he is on vacation for three weeks.
Another recruiter called me for the same job, and I did not mention I worked with another recruiter.
I don't know how this process works in contracting roles or if I should let the new recruiter know.
I'm worried that if I say something about working with another recruiter he may not work with me, but if I don't say something, my R&R may actually go through and I get the job. I'm really not sure how to proceed here.
advice ?

Seeking professional opinions regarding sending a Thank You email, from your work email account, when interviewing for an internal position, but one that is in a different department than your current one.
Would this be appropriate, or should it be sent from a personal email account instead? Thank you in advance!

Bored at Work
My job has a lot of ebbs and flows. The busy season is almost upon us, but right now I have absolutely nothing to do. I am so bored all day long. When I'm bored like this, I usually start looking for new jobs. I have to be challenged to be content. But I really enjoy my boss, and I'm trying to stay here for at least another year or two. Last time I experienced down time, I subscribed to Coursera and got a certificate. Right now, I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn. I don't really have funds (personal or professional development through work) to do anything that has a significant cost. Does anyone have recommendations on what I should do?
