YOUCOUNT SURVEYS: IS ADMINISTRATION SHARING?

Last year, the Blogmeister ran a poll and asked if readers working at UTMB were ever shown the results of their departments' YouCount! survey.  51% reported that they were not.  I've posted another poll in the sidebar to the right and ask that employees participate again. Let's see if UTMB's performance has improved any.

Comments

The results of YouCount is now available online to everyone. The link was posted on the iUTMB website: http://www.utmb.edu/youcount/. One can see the overall results as well as the results for each department and constituency. Well worth a look.

What is interesting (and scary) about the You Count Survey this year is the breakdown by department. Look carefully at the numbers. This year when individuals filled out the survey it was coded by a People Soft pay code. If you work in a department with a small number of employees your anonymity is gone. This is a breach of trust by the administration. Also, in the School of Nursing, the Provost and the Dean used faculty responses on the You Count survey to berate faculty. And the President sat by and said nothing! Be careful employees. Your responses could be used against you. The administration isn't interested in your feedback.

STRANGE GAMES

  • There are strange games played / and careers unmade, / In the quest for wisdom's pearl; / There are tales of power, / In the ivory tower, / That can make your toenails curl. —Robert Service http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/ ~kwesthue/mobbing.htm
  • "Let the games begin." --Former UTMB Ophthalmology Department Administrator
