Management and culture vary in each dept. Some employees are fortunate to work where they are valued and respected. I'm not so lucky. The "leaders" in my dept micromanage and control their staff, faculty, and grad students. My manager bullies and shames me every second she gets. I want out!
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be better team players and communicate more effectively.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My managers continuously belittle and shame me for every little thing that I do. Nothing is ever good enough. Rather than providing constructive feedback and support, they overcriticize and infantilize me and other staff members. Compensation does not match the level of tasks and responsibility.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Managers should micromanage less and need to develop better trust in their employees. Should have more activities to increase morale. Also, managers should be more respectful towards their staff and try not to control or bully them because they don't live up to their standards.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The leadership team in my dept needs to be better at treating their staff fairly and respectfully. Micromanaging only hinders the growth of an employee, not improve it. Give them room to grow into their own and trust them! Also, stop bullying and shaming your employees - this is not okay!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
What's going wrong? Micromanaging and control, plus lack of autonomy and trust in employees. These traits breed a toxic work environment. How to improve? Simple, treat your employees how you want to be treated - with respect! I expected more from UCLA, but it seems they hire managers who are toxic.
