My allergies have been so bad this year! But yet they have all these gardeners to fix up the outside of the buildings. What about inside were I have to spend most of my life? If I try and vacuum my own office I get my hand slapped. To be honest I can't remember when the hallways were vacuumed either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-14786321660023185692009-04-14T11:58:00.000-07:002009-04-14T11:58:00.000-07:008:51 PM sez..

Then after their attendent wipes the drool off their faces, a bellowed order to find the culprit will roar out. Web sites like this one will be back-hacked and the logs used to find out who complained. That person will have their work computer seized so that evidence can be planted in order to justify a firing.<br /><br />The massive investigation and subsequent lawsuit further depleting the lab budget and forcing yet more staffing cuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-26158634186793079882009-04-14T11:29:00.000-07:002009-04-14T11:29:00.000-07:009:45 PM

About half the GL's as well. Say the wrong thing and you'll never get a good ranking ever again.<BR/><BR/>What group you work for is all that matters, some are golden and some are dirt. So merit is irrelevant to ranking and salary.<BR/><BR/>For years ULM has cheated the staff out of overtime. Complain and you are brow-beaten or worse. They've gone on witch hunts to drive out employees, using fabricated evidence after the fact.<BR/><BR/>Harassment and lower rankings are commonplace for anyone who has a disability, or a sick family member. Unless you're a GL or higher up, in which case you can work at home or skip work as much as you like.<BR/><BR/>B453 is refugee camp. The building is a death trap, sewer gas from defective plumbing almost killed someone once. Cuts in the cleaning staff have made the bathrooms and kitchen areas filthy enough that a public health department would shut it down. The lobby is fall hazard and bird waste from geese quite abundant. Dirt and dust everywhere. No suprise ULM got an award for that building project.<BR/><BR/>Don't work there unless you are seriously masochistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
