Used to be wonderful - Anonymous employee Long Island University Employee Review

Used to be a wonderful place to work, but most-recently in the past year has gone from okay go downright awful. Support staff with many years experience getting laid off with zero notice in an effort to "reorganize and control the budget." My department runs on a skeleton crew with zero margin for error (or sickness) now that we've lost several people. Academic departments have been left without secretaries, with faculty members with no idea how to function. Morale is at the lowest I've seen it in the years I've worked there. Pay is awful, barely enough to survive on, and more often than not, not enough to survive on.
