Its identity gets confused and confusing, particularly on things like, the hospital employee health plan covers smoking cessation aids while the University health plan doesn't -- although they appear to be the same plan. Well, who the heck understands health plans anyway?? Employee morale -- on the whole good, I'd say, among the clerical staff, who tend to be middle aged women working for secondary income and college tuition for their kids. Women who are the sole provider in lowly jobs are less satisfied with the compensation. The academic medical staff do not seem happy in this particular division -- I hear grumblings about a lack of leadership, coodination of research/clinical efforts, political manoueverings, etc. My boss gets annoyed when it takes his secretary all afternoon to secure relase of his funds for things like dinner for a visiting professor and a few colleagues, etc. He complains that he brings in millions in research money yet gets the third degree to get a few hundred bucks for dinner for eight people. Also, there have been new hires among the faculty which are not universally welcomed, making for a less than optimal/collegial atmosphere in our beautiful new award-winning building that is already too small!!
