Administrative Incompetence & Poor Outlook - Anonymous employee UCLA Employee Review

I was shocked at the level of administrative incompetence at UCLA. It takes forever to get any administrative task completed, and lots of balls get dropped. I constantly found myself nagging others to do their jobs. The sad part is that I don't think it was due to individual employees, but instead due to chronic understaffing because they are underpaid and underappreciated. My direct supervisors were also intense micromanagers; despite having managerial roles, it was clear that they had never had any managerial training and were not able to run an effective team. There also wasn't enough opportunity for career advancement.
