private:yorkuniversitycanada https://www.indeed.com/cmp/york-university/reviews Aug 18th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open York University Policy Advisor Keele campus Terrible management and false impressions In the department where I work, I see that the University is focused on appearances and illusions rather than following logic. I saw first hand terrible management in high up positions (e.g. yelling at staff, flat out lying and making up things or 'facts' that make the University *sound good, cancelling meetings last minute to go on vacation and then blame it on an 'emergency,' etc). I found it to be an unethical environment with little accountability. Contracts would not be extended until last minute. Mine was not extended until literally a couple of days until it was done but I was still expected to take on work past the deadline. In fact, I was criticized because I declined to do further until I had a formal contract in writing. (My manager contacted me at 8:30 am to say that's not 'in line' with what people do or 'for' the University to refuse to work unless they provide a contract. I was shocked that she was suggesting that I was acting unprofessionally by *insisting that the University give me an actual written contract or else I would not continue to work after my contract ended. Often I see students get taken advantage of because they cannot stand up for themselves in this way). On another occasion, my own boss contacted me to say that she wanted to resign and didn't like her boss--very unprofessional. Furthermore, the University is very slow moving. I have heard it from colleagues and see it myself firsthand that if you have a good idea to improve the university things or your department then things are unlikely to change unless there is a protest or fear of a protest. I find the behind the scenes culture to be dysfunctional and many people do bad work but stay because of the good benefits or are hard to fire because of unions or management are friends of friends. I raised a privacy concern to the Privacy Office, for example. I was informed that they 'investigated' but actually refused to speak to the staff involved. The people that the privacy concern were management notably. Overall, it's not a professional environment but University leadership would have you believe that it's the best place to work on earth, and give 'facts' to show, which truly should be cross referenced for accuracy and taken at face value. Good benefits if you have a union Bad management, little change, no accountability for management, no transparency of how high up decisions are made 0.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 5.0 1.0 Feb 3rd, 2021 03:06PM Mar 20th, 2021 03:56PM York University, Canada Consumer Services General Retailers

private:yorkuniversitycanada https://www.indeed.com/cmp/york-university/reviews Jul 18th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open York University Administrative Assistant Toronto, ON CAN Good pay, but terrible management Your salary is quite good, depending on your role. Benefits are somewhat okay, $500/year for massage is better than nothing, I suppose. Limited coverage in terms of mental health, yet they preach mental healthcare all the time. Maybe not all managers are like this, but this one is by far the worst. One of the managers literally was so awful to me (and in general) that in a meeting with HR and the union, my union rep had to tell her to stop being rude, stop rolling her eyes and that her attitude was hostile and aggressive. My union rep said he had never seen behaviour like this before and was utterly appalled and shocked. She literally blamed me for having IT issues when we started working at home during the start of COVID19. Meanwhile, I was doing everything I could to correct these problems with IT; which I figured out by myself. Specifically, she attempted to discipline me for not being able to receive emails and not being able to access the system due to my IT issues. I won that dispute and I was not disciplined, but who does that? Not to mention the vicious, hostile and horribly aggressive attitude she has. She claims I lack an attention to detail, but I have been at my second job for a long period of time and never had any issues (and I have been working with no issues for the last 15 years until this). It is beyond my control if I cannot access our awful remote system, but ultimately, she should be supportive and try to help me if that is the case, rather than discipline me. She never provided any positive feedback, was constantly sighing and saying, "oh my god," whenever I asked for help. She sometimes doesn't respond to emails for a long period of time and you usually have to follow up with her. She would ramble on how she has a photographic memory, but meanwhile forgets to reply to myself and Professors, constantly forgets personal days, etc. She always talks about herself non-stop, but never guides staff. She is the biggest narcissist I have ever met. Good salary, easy work Benefits could be better, poor working culture, bureaucratic, slow and archaic practices 0.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 Feb 3rd, 2021 03:06PM Mar 20th, 2021 04:01PM York University, Canada Consumer Services General Retailers
