UCSB takes pride among all UC campuses in hiring the minimal staff to complete jobs that required at least 2x the staff at other UCs.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Have an agenda and action items with datelines.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
It would make me feel better if compensation was not as merit but through performance.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The groundskeepers do an excellent job of beautifying the campus. There are a few super smart and passionate people who make it work at UCSB bareable.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Remove current top leadership, they are antiquated, conformist, and will not state that the emperor has no clothes. Remove the Chancellor who is just a freeloader figurehead. Hire and pay people based on their performance not on merit.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Recruiting in the diversity of race, though, and reason. Most leadership comes from privilege. They need to develop individuals from the bottom up. They need to listen. They need to understand that employment at UCSB is not as desired as it used to be.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Keep the candidate in the loop. Hire an independent service to select candidates this would cut down on the rampant nepotism. avoid comments like "well this person is perfect but they would not fit our culture. Imagine if this candidate had a tourette attack while assisting faculty?"
