Texas Southern University. I have been working at Texas Southern University full-time for more than 8 years. The university mired in incompetency, nepotism, sex-for-jobs, and extraordinary racism, which hurts the purpose of the university. The employees who cannot or will not do their jobs shove all of their work onto others - often the women - who have to pick up their slack on top of doing their own jobs. Female support staff do more and are paid less than men.
Bullying is common, and the environment is very unhealthy People are sick a lot, and many colleagues have put on enormous amounts of weight after taking a job at TSU. They are sick because TSU is a sick environment. The politics will kill you. It's coming - a receivership or something of that sort. You cannot seem to get it right, and you are an embarrassment to the black community - you make blacks look bad and it is exactly the opposite of the university's purpose.

Find ways to compensate the support staff. Treat the support staff with more respect, we deserve it. Mastery of the university network is fairly easy. The workload is fair, deadlines are reasonable. Overhead-supervision is solely dependent on the individual's performance quality. Your work should speak for itself. Creditability is earned through simple tasks such as: learning the order of command, the chain of administrators and executives standing in each position, being consistent, and maintain a high degree The faculty and staff take pride in the university's history; many being alumni who embody the TSU motto, "Excellence in Achievement", making for a close knit work place.
