Employees are made to feel worthless. We are in constant fear of losing our jobs. Each year a new way to assess our success is implemented which just adds additional criteria and creates confusion on what we're being rated on. It builds in extra supports for us to be fired for almost any reason.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Scheduling is easy. They were respectful of my time.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We support one another because there is zero support from management. If we don't hold each other up, we have nothing.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management needs to be respectful and stop drinking the kool-aid. We don't buy you propaganda so stop with the BS and just be real with us.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Less micro-managing of your employees (ie, "monitoring" phone calls without providing feedback) and more actual work of providing us with the tools we need to do our job.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Management constantly tells us we are a team and they're looking for creative ideas for XYZ. Any and all ideas presented are immediately shot down and we're told a variety of reasons it won't work. When you don't offer up any more ideas because you're defeated, now you're not a team player.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Treat your employees like you believe they can do the job you hired them for. Stop micro-managing. Provide us with the tools to do our jobs. When you ask us what customers are saying, don't say that's not true or educators don't think like that. How do you know? You're not talking to them.
