Update 2013 - A Potpourri

Since my last post in 2011, I worked at Daley College.  What a disorganized and chaotic college!  Here are my legitimate complaints:
#1- No orientation to the Department of Nursing!
#2- No time off for 18 months!!!  Even worse, no compensation for extra work over Spring Break, a special Summer curriculum assignment and conference calls!
#3-The Director of Nursing quit on the spot, we got a new Director who was absolutely lousy!
#4- The new Director of Nursing was tenured and long term. She was entirely dependent on me!  She even went as to assign me to do minutes at all department meetings!  Since when did I become a secretary????
#5- The President assigned faculty to teach special remediation classes... without pay!
#6- There were rumors that I was going back on evenings for Spring 2013.
#7- Administration did not respond to meeting requests for my tenure project.
#8- Administration attempted to pull me out from teaching a class to attend a meeting on the new building.
#9- No administrative support for faculty!  We had to run around and request, secure lab rooms for computer based testing.
#10- Colleagues for Fundamentals were dumb.

I was so glad when the semester was over.  I loved my students, many of whom have connected with me on Facebook.  Have you noticed.... I had not one single complaint of my students. I loved teaching.  But, the college was not supportive and violated labor laws.  Tenured faculty never intervened.  Fuck them.
