Advice to Senior Management

employee empowerment

Pros

If you can get a permanent position, then I would recommend staying there because government jobs offer really good pensions. However, if you are a research assistant like me, where there is nowhere to advance and no chance of becoming permanent, then I would go elsewhere.

Cons

There does not seem to be motivation to work harder because by 3pm most of the people have left the building. Also, unless you are a PI, it doesn't really matter how hard you work since I don't see any chance of advancement.

Advice to Senior Management

I think it would be nice if you provide more room for non-management employees for advancement. However, I do enjoy all the activities offered here, especially the BBQs and X'mas parties. Very entertaining!

Pros

The working hours and time off

Cons

NO chance of advancement, No recognition for hark work

Advice to Senior Management

Value your employees more
