A particularly demoralizing year at the LA Phil - Anonymous employee Los Angeles Philharmonic Employee Review

What becomes more blatant, astounding, and disappointing with each passing year — and particularly during these times — is the lack of accountability and strategic planning as demonstrated by a handful of senior staff in my department. Unless these key people leave the LA Phil, this department stands little chance of improving, and I fully expect more non-managerial staff to jump ship for better opportunities until then. In late 2019, the LA Phil was "asked to acquire" The Ford. The majority of staff members has since taken on expanded roles to support all three concert venues without receiving meaningful pay raises that acknowledge and match the increased workload. Not correcting these pay inequities continues to be exploitative and unethical.
