Get your skills and get out - Archivist Smithsonian Employee Review

Extremely toxic work environment; archaic, classiest management system; DEI work 100% performative; favoritism; expected to perform managerial duties without the title, salary, and decision making power required to succeed; retaliation; rely heavily on contract labor and interns; nepotism; discrimination and harassment 100% tolerated; senior staff never held accountable; 1420 classification for librarians and archivists hasn't been updated since 1994 so the Smithsonian is holding the profession back 30 years in terms of salaries and job descriptions but we are expected to have 2022 qualifications and education
