Job search from a felon. (Employer's read)

Let me please start off by saying that all my felonies are non violent and are drug related.....  I was just a user and every time I got caught up it was for possession. Addiction is sometimes hard to get away from. Most people won't get away from it without help. It took me my last felony I caught to realized that I might have a problem and I started seeking help. I found help at Mission Teens a faith base program and they had one in Brazil Indiana called the House of Hope. I completed the 8 month program 3½ years ago and have had my sobriety every since.
Now seeking employment it has never been so hard untell now.  All I want to do is provide and every where I go I'm turned down and these background companies that run the checks are fast to report the bad in your life but never report the good that you may have done and employers never ask. Not saying my good out weight the bad just saying they should report both sides for the employer to see. I feel that if employer's start asking questions about a person felony they would find that not all felons are bad people. There are some good people who are felons who just made some mistakes in their life and corrected themselves to do better.
It seems I have exhausted all my options to find employment. Like I'm forced down a path in the road that I don't want to take. Soon I won't be able to pay rent soon I will be forced out in the streets soon I will become homeless. 😩
So job seekers KEEP YOUR RECORD CLEAN the best advice that I could give and this from experience. 
Open to any advice. Looked into expungement just don't have the cash. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

What is confidentiality

In medical industries it is extremely important to understand confidentiality. Why? Because violation of confidentiality can bring a heavy lawsuit down on the employer. It doesnt matter if you think because you discuss something of a patient info with close friends who are not in your line of work. Breach of confidentiality is violation of HIPPA law and the employer policy. What if your friend has other quaintences that he/she conversed with rumors circulated without facts and little knowledge of your permitted access or much.

With investigation a person can find the root source of the chain gossip and have you terminated and sue the company for breach of confidentiality. It also speaks volume of the character of you the employee who signed documents of stating you understand such clause and reason.

There is a saying that goes: "Common sense not common practiced."

Common sense should have you ask if you would want someone to do to you as you do to another no matter who they are and the position or titled. Too often people forget that they are human and not the job position or title or credentials. In knowing this common sense of morality, you would hope humanity would function and facilitate kindness and integrity.

Integrity is just as essential for an employee as it is for the employer, the brand and the product and service it offers. Without it the quality is horrible and so is the reputation which falls on those in the business functioning on every level.

I watched a movie for college and was told to write a paper on what I learned and the most important line that stole my heart was this:

"Attitude reflects leadership"-Remember the Titans.

I look at people attitude and it tells me of the person of their leadership. I have witnessed it on jobs. I then ponder who raised the person? Or is this the learning of ill society and social media teaching. It is no wonder so many seek out employment and lie once obtaining the employment and demonstrate poor quality-leadership.

When a leader doesn't have confidentiality of its staff it leads and discuss with those it leads about other employees it creates a problem. That attitude run faster than a wild fire and infects quicker than a virus. Why? Because some fear fomo or rejection and want speak on it.

I watched Caucasian people in position on a job be fearful and they were in leadership, and I knew it was a problem. Companies are driven in the ground when confidentiality and integrity is missing. No need to trust the ethics line because it is plagued with the same kind of people. I am sure when the owner visioned the company it was not thinking or planning such persons would tarnish the dream and vision of the company and hold fast to the values and mission.

So job seekers. Be the difference you desire to see and not absorb bad company or habits and keep confidentiality.

Nothing Said During an Annual Review Should be a Surprise

Around this time of year, many managers present their employees with formal annual reviews.

For many, these meetings can make employees nervous, but, when done properly and professionally, these reviews should be non-events.

Good managers will communicate with their employees THROUGHOUT the year; giving constructive feedback so employees can grow and progress in the organization and in their own careers.

Therefore, when the annual review comes around, it should simply be a documentation of the main points discussed during the last year. That’s it.

Not-so-great managers won’t actively manage their employees and will potentially use the annual review to sabotage and/or hold employees back from a promotion or a raise by first giving negative feedback during this time.

Use your annual review to gauge how you feel about your current company.

If you find yourself surprised (in a bad way) during your annual review, take it as a clear sign that your current company may no longer deserve your efforts in 2021.

Alternatively, an easy, fair review with no surprises is a good indicator of a strong manager and a positive work environment.
