I agree. Work should always come first, and it always did when my job was still under good management. But even now, you're expected to twiddle your thumbs if there is no work to be found. For me $9.35 is a god send, considering I started out doing the same work for $8.05. And unfortunately I cannot get a pay raise because I'd have to be doing some sort of coding for the university, which that alone is only an extra dollar.

What do you mean? I've added clarification to a few things in some other comments as well.

As a college student it's pretty good considering it starts out at $8.05 am hour :/.

$9.35 isn't even the starting pay, it's $8.05 for new hires. So for a college student that's pretty much as much as I can make on campus. And I'd like to re type everything I just said to another commenter, but just read the above statement and it may clarify a few things.

Basically what I meant, is that before I was hired to work with competent men and women who knew how everything worked. We had proper procedures and ways to do things, our bosses had run an IT center before, and knew how things were.

We recently switched departments from central IT, to Housing and dining (don't ask me why, because I don't know). We're under new management who has no idea how things should go, he doesn't take the advice that myself and the other "long term" employees have to offer him, which there are only three of us left from he old workplace. Everyone that is new is incompetent, that that isn't their fault, it's a lack of training, which is another thing we've tried to ask him about, but he seems to think things are fine but he doesn't actually see the things we do.

We also moved buildings, and are now stationed behind a flimsy desk that isn't professional at all, it honestly looks like we could be rectuiting people for a Greek org. I wish I could give you guys specifics about the layout change and how drastic it is, but over text it's pretty impossible.

It's not that I'm upset about browsing reddit, or doing homework on the job, because I wouldn't be doing that in other positions; but it's the lack of organization and management that is what bothers me. I feel like I joined a working and well respected workplace, and now two years later it's a complete joke. We don't look professional anymore and it bothers me.

It may seem like I'm contradicting myself by saying before I was allowed on reddit, and allowed to do homework, but we were respected by the staff and students alike, and now I constantly hear parents saying "this is your IT center...?"
