The University of #Alaska (UA) is going full Oprah!
UA just released its annual employee survey.
The gist: almost every thing is worse than last year. And shit is pretty bad indeed. E.g., at #UAS 80% say they are not paid fairly.
The University's response? No, they're not going out and getting the millions needed to raise everyone's pay back to 2018 levels (in real dollars).
Instead, they are pitting ~6,000 workers against each other for something like 40 awards worth $100-1000 dollars, and a few $5000 grand prizes.
It's like saying a solution to systemic poverty would be to have a folks scramble to get on Oprah's show to get a one-off token gift.
Chances are, you won't get an award. But even the biggest one it isn't going to make up for your lost purchasing power and underpayment relative to other Unis.
By the way, the University hides its employee survey results behind a login and then spins the results in the most obvious and absurd ways:
