People get thrown to the dogs as soon as they finish big jobs, then the incompetent managers pick apart the work of that person and use them as scapegoats for their own incompetence. It happens every few months! You would think after a while people would catch on but the bullying culture of the department means that colleagues do nothing to support each other. Everyone is out for themselves. I've spent months medicated in order to cope. The managers are just ridiculous, they can't make decisions for themselves and change the rules and the goals constantly. They don't have experience in higher education either, so they don't even know some of the basics of working in HE.<br /><br />HR is useless, they are only there to support the same bullying managers time and time again. I would be surprised if Northampton wasn't higher in the bully statistics by now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-56740928913281816602012-04-24T11:37:58.763+00:002012-04-24T11:37:58.763+00:00http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Dr-Rosenberg/31...http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Dr-Rosenberg/318874974846412 PLEASE PUT ON YOUR FACEBOOK AND SEND TO OTHERS PLEASE.

Either the president was the administration's lapdog or he or she didn't care about individual members. Only once did we have a president who was willing to fight for us and she was forced out before her term was finished due to internal politics.<br /><br />Towards the end of my time there, I met with the staff association about my department's administrators bullying and harassing me, something which I endured for years. The association's attitude was that if it wasn't covered by the contract, I was out of luck. Any evidence I presented about prior abuse was immediately rejected. It made me question on whose behalf the staff association was working and why I was even paying my association fees.<br /><br />I quit when my financial portfolio reached a minimum value and I left under terms that I dictated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
