Inefficiency, incompetence, and delusion! - werkgeversreview Provost's Office Staff bij Boston University

Where to begin? - BU expects loyalty but does not reward or incentive high performers. If you are full-time staff, expect to do the work of 1.5 - 2 people and be paid below average for the Boston area. - Expect to do your job with bare bones resources, including staff. Numerous offices / programs are laughably understaffed for a university of 34,000 students. - Many managers lack the proper training to be effective leaders and to efficiently run their departments. One toxic manager in particular led to 4 people in a related department quitting in 24 months, further undermining staff morale and organizational integrity. - In my particular department, a combination of toxic management, poor pay, and unrewarding and unrecognized work led to 50% of our office staff leaving the university within 10 months. Truly one of the worst professional environments I have ever been in, and it devolved very shortly within a year after talented staff began leaving. Management was completely clueless and refused to act on staff concerns, leading to more people leaving (including myself).
