There were so many useless administrative processes, which changed every few moths, were badly designed, inefficient, and poorly explained. And no one was interested in ideas for improving the efficiency. Most of the people working there are literally technically incompetent. Even my HoS could barely use a computer.
There were no employees there under the age of 40 and the location in Lower Hutt made it very difficult for anyone commuting from Wellington.
I didn't do a PhD so I could spend half my time messing around with spreadsheets trying to make sense of other people's poorly designed planning documents. There are so many better newly designed tools that can manage all aspects of the planning and administrative processes but the OP is still using Excel 97 spreadsheets to track hours spent working on revisions that you have to email every week to a admin person who probably then engages in a bunch of other obsolete processes. It was so ridiculous and a waste of resources all around.
The board made so many decisions that impacted our teaching without bothering to even consult any of the actual teaching staff, so many times I felt like they were actually trying to make it harder for me to do my job. The whole iQualify thing is another huge slap in the face to the academic staff.
