A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

This is bad advice. Do this and your name will go on the Problem List. Now, if you don’t care about getting laid off, go nuts.

The guy is already giving honest feedback on "anonymous" surveys... He's probably on that list. At least he could try to improve his situation, and look for a new job at the same time since it's clear they don't respect his efforts.

Yep, suddenly there will be a lot of "cross training" in your department, so you can train your own replacements. However, as much as it sucked at the time, I have taken great pleasure quitting 2 jobs, after telling them that giving me a raise will be way cheaper than paying the 4 or 5 people that it will take to do my job, and lo and behold I was right lol
