Of all the jobs I haven't gotten, and there are a baker's dozen of them. this last one really frosts my balls, as my mother used to say. That they hire a young woman without experience into one of the very few full-time positions and one of the rarer than hen's teeth Advanced spots.
At a meeting yesterday am, I sat across from a Deputy Director who claimed that she being a plain spoken individual, wanted us to come into our meetings with respect and the intention of working together. This meeting was with administration and representatives of the two library unions. It is a regular committee that meets to discuss policy questions staff may have.
It was a good meeting and the DD was merely confirming that. We were all working for the good of the institution. (Actually, I think of my work on the committee to be for the good of the staff.)
But when the DD spoke I wondered what she would say if I had the guts to bring up the hiring practices, if I asked what the fuck are you people doing? You signed the MOU, you agreed to do what the arbitrator said you must do, why aren't you?
