It seems to me faculty and staff have no incentive to do well, because it's so damn hard to fire them For every 10 lazy, irritating staff you have 1 who actually does all the work. It's a true wonder that anyone ever learns anything there.Rootietoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1156663085592785962006-08-27T01:18:00.000-06:002006-08-27T01:18:00.000-06:00They need to send the whole of this administration...They need to send the whole of this administration to college - Good Luck Attila!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1156618714897088612006-08-26T12:58:00.000-06:002006-08-26T12:58:00.000-06:00oh...my...god...does ANYONE have any common sense ...oh...my...god...does ANYONE have any common sense left?

I'm new to the staff of a university, and it's just as bad on this side. I had no idea. I have to deal with lots of departments, and let me tell you, I get the runaround just as much now as I did when I was a student. Drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>I swear this is true: I actually got reprimanded last week for getting *too much* work done. I was asked to slow it down AND not advertise how productive I was, because we wouldn't want to ruin our lack-of-prompt-service image, you know. My boss spends hours doing all this fake PR about how busy our dept is...we're not busy, he just won't LET us work any harder. It's absolutely insane.<BR/><BR/>So on behalf of the minority of us college staffers who DO want to provide good service, I am sorry. <BR/><BR/>I'll stop hogging your comments now. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1156428564269169512006-08-24T08:09:00.000-06:002006-08-24T08:09:00.000-06:00Wow.

When I stopped by the local community college to apply for a refresher last spring I fould that they work on a whole different system of time than the rest of the world. Posted hours are 8:00am - 4:30pm. I rushed from work to get there in time only to find myself standing outside a completely dark admissions at 4:25. Nary a person in sight. <BR/><BR/>Later when I went to pick up my grades, because apparently they don't out grades anymore, they couldn't find me in the computer system because I told her my first name was Michael and they had listed me as Mike. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps some of those folks would do well to take advantage of their employers services.Svenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106330081401871456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1156423650893290322006-08-24T06:47:00.000-06:002006-08-24T06:47:00.000-06:00It's really amazing how clueless these college emp...It's really amazing how clueless these college employees are.
