8 hours working shift.8 hr shiftA lot of internal politics in all faculties. - No daycare coverage - Very high bureaucray to tackle with small issues (also small budgets) A very very long tiring shift with overloaded work requirements and a low salary to go with!!! So, no social life. Plus, the health problems one gets from working in unhealthy ergonomics and environment!Absence of courses and workshops. Grades for motivation.Absence of logistical supportAbsence of tenure; low pay; absence of support for research in terms of course reduction.Administration at AUB is not accountable. Corruption is obvious. Corrupt administrators boast of their wrong doings and no one seems to do anything about it. Corruption at the academic level and the fact that no one is there to clamp down on it worries me most. Students cheat, get caught and no one does anything about it except for nonsensical warning. Professors, PhD and Master students lie in their results and professors, committees, chairmen, and the dean let it go. administration-faculty relationshipAdministrative ambiguityadministrative procedures Administrators who forget their job is to support faculty teaching and research.Although AUBMC has numerous advantages, salaries are the least satisfying in comparison to the load of work employees performAppreciationAppreciation of work adjustable work benifits Rigid polcies regardinfg employment of non-lebanese graduatesarchaic hurdles and policies, less than clear processes in some areasAs an employee on a grant, I have no security, no benefits, and my contract is an RA contract. AUB Benefits and RewardsAUB is investing in construction but not in her employees. Unfortunately, few years from now we will be looking like LU. Aub offers low salaries compared to other companies.Bad Salaries, no motivation plans, no career path progressBehavior of supervisors is often abusive and nonchalant towards employees which focuses only on achieving their own goals even at the expense of the employees and unfortunately HR and Administration are not that supportive or defensive.

Being asked about my name EVERYDAY as I enter the parking lot at AUB. The security guards rarely answer my morning greeting and open and close the trunk of my car in a rather rude way. Many places in Lebanon inspect cars entering their premises by using certain electronic detectors, but the office of protection at AUB seems to prefer to humiliate people and infringe on their basic rights (such as asking them about their name each time they come to work and searching their cars) to using available and widely used technology that would make one's first interaction with one's work place positive and civilized. This is a symptom of a larger problem at AUB.

bureacracy; uneven customer service orientationbureaucracyBureaucracybureaucracyBureaucracy bureaucracy and inflexibility from administrationBureaucracy getting in the way of implementing laborers' rightsBureaucracy. Here's an example: I was giving an exam to 200 students in our Business Law course at OSB and the rooms that were reserved were still locked. When I reached a security guard he WOULD NOT OPEN THE ROOMS!!! I had the reservation and clearly identified myself as a professor at OSB. There were 200 students waiting to take the exam. HE WOULD NOT OPEN THE ROOMS. He explained that he needed to talk to somebody named "Shallak" before her would do so. After 20 minutes he finally reached "Shallak" and only then would he open the rooms. Why is AUB even hiring security guards if they don't have the authority to open a classroom for a PROFESSOR to give an exam to students?? This mentality of bureaucracy and requirement of approval extends to EVERYTHING here at AUB. I personally do not think employees should be hired if management does not trust them to make decisions and do their jobs. The seeming need to create a big huge machine that controls everyone from the top is the main threat to the goals of the administration, which actually seem to be laudable: create a great university for the students and Lebanon and the middle east. bureaucratic proceduresBureaucratic procedures are sometimes time-consuming and can feel opaque as full information or instructions can't always be found online.burocracy, favoritism, focusing on getting funds and money. career development and laddet and payrollColleague miscommunicationcommunication between departmentscommunication with other departments HIPcommunication within departments Compensation Equality, Training, and Work Life Balancecomplexity of procedurescomptroller's office procedures, the fact that they make you wait 2 months at least to pay the suppliers!!!Contract renewal.

I find salary the least satisfyingI have no comments, I have come to the conclusion that whatever is said there will never be any improvement. Words cannot explain how I feel, things have changed and I can't wait to retire.I think our total salary is very affected with several losses due to taxes, benefits, HIP and.....I think there is too much taxes..

if faced with a manager with poor leadership skills (communication-problem solving..)your concern does not reach HR if so you will be in bad situation-we have 2 leaders a chairperson and clinical coordinator ,evaluation of both persons should not be in one basket but rather separate because we might have one better than the other clinically. Incompetent managersInteraction with higher management it is dimotivating when the unit manager does not apprecialte what you do.it is not computer basedI've been working for less than one year and i'm totally satisfied with my work and environment. I'm only dissatisfied regarding my pay conditions (grade / salary range) which are directly and only linked to the English test (my actual salary does not match my education degree, professional experience, actual position, responsibilities, and performance). JealousyJob securitylab techniciansLack of adequate recognition and incentives, as well as the existence of some rigidity in certain HR rules and regulations.Lack of appreciation from the senior administration; marginalization of loyal faculty who care most about the the University; creating so many positions and offices that are not needed; and the huge salaries of the administrative personnel compared to professors who are the only ones striving to fulfill the mission of the institution; appointing the wrong people in critical position; and the list may go on and on...! AUB's mission is simply being de-railed.Lack of basic facilities in my department: too many faculty members sharing one office and even one computer. Pay raise is minimal...nowhere near inflation meaning we are "poorer" every year. Pay is not rescaled every few years meaning new hires earn more than people who have been working at AUB for a few years. No promotion/recognition for experience or good performance. Lack of being close to the advancing scientific society, namely being in isolation.For example , It takes some three to four months to receive an essential ingredient for your research compared to a day or two if you are doing the same work in the USA.I realize that being in isolation is not the fault of AUB j, yet may be orders can be expedited to one or two months.Unfortunately, the University tried to hasten purchases from abroad 25 years ago and we are still at square one!.lack of clarity in promotion guidelines; support for managing research; lack of clarity of overall mission prioritiesLack of cooperation among fellow empoyeesLack of coordination between some departments, and sometimes unqualified employees at some jobs.Lack of development and promotion opportunities. lack of effective and professional teamwork in my departmentLack of loyalty, commitment, and appreciation among many staff members across the University and at AUBMClack of motivationLack of organizational and personal trustLack of positive attitude from various staffLack of professionalism, objectivity and employee development Lack of promotion prospects for those who start off as "instructors"/ stereotyping.

My low salary compared to my work and to my experience My worry about health insurance if I leave AUB and my indemnity that is low compared to the high cost of living

my salary is not up to the level of the work i perform . there is no modified chance to get salary raise on yearly basis ( its indicated in the hospital policies that a 4% to be given as a raise every year but its not applied). also as a new employee my colleagues got benefit from the last raise given by the ministry while i and all the new employees didn't.

My supervisor's management. I strongly believe that it is a very unhealthy work environment when 5 staff members are placed in a 1-person office and you expect them to work and be productive, eapecially when one of them is the manager of the others, and one of their expectations is to write and conduct literature reciews, etc. My tasks are not sufficiently challenging. I am often bored.Never receiving any comment or recognition to my work. Something I get very highly from the outside communityNew bosses very arrogant and will not appreciate sacrifices made by old staff members. We put our life on the line for AUB. Some of us were killed. But the new bosses will not even hear about it. They hould been here under shellingNew policies, lack of office space no actual job promotionNo appropriate cooperation among departmentsNo career developemt(high positions are for some people; others work hard without any titles). Benefits are across the board whether you have kids or not. no clear grade-job title matching

No performance evaluation is done. Often politics interfere with decision making and we are not involved in process.

The lack of competence of certain senior AUB managers in places of authority, the favors-driven environment of coffee-drinking that is based on horsetrading rather than sound business rationale, the lack of follow-through and timely implementation, the high power distance, compliance-driven mentality of the current leadership.

the lack of fairness in promotions and in assigning academic grades at the professorial level. Many people do not have an established publication record and are still rewardedthe lack of large-scale vision for where the university is going as an academic institution in its regional context; the lack of transparency on many of the decisions of central adminstration; the lack of responsiveness to the local context and the relevance of what we do to beirut and the regionThe lack of opportunities for advancement and the rigidity of the system at HR.The least satisfying is not linking performance to salaries. the least satisfying is the miscommunication among staff. some people dont give proper and clear instructions.the least satisfying is the salary, especially for us as pharmacists with high responsibilities. Work at AUBMC lacks motivationthe Managementthe most dissatisfiying issue is the Dr's Nurse relationship. it is extremely bad there is no respect from the doctors towards RNs and they break policies without anyone doing anything for them. these issues were reported but no one did anything because they are doctors. we have no respect with families because of them The new AUBMC administration's lack of leadership skills and bullying that happens every day. Namely, Petra Khoury, Adnan Tahir, and Iman Kouatly. Unfortuantely, they turned out to be very immature in their leadership skills and they led many qualified and loyal people to leave the hospital. Someone has to give an ear to those who are leaving or those burnt out at AUBMC. The choices they made for nursing, especially with Iman Kouatly and the team of leaders, turned nursing into a de-motivated, low-quality, fake place. Plus, the patient care has gone back significantly. Don't be fooled by the ceremonies they do for patient satisfaction and give awards away. These are only a cover-up for the failures that happen every day. The new Oracle system that is a good system but it was not studied and implemented correctly. It could have worked much better and efficient if it was done right.The organization has become too heavy. Too many employees that are inefficient and incompetent in their jobs. The pay check at the end of every month The pay could be much better. The academic politics should be a tool and not a goal.

The salary.It makes me embarrassed when I tell people how much money I make when I've been around for more than 20 years. The absence of a transparent evaluation system. The Dept. cannot possibly know who is efficient, who works hard, and who needs help in order to perform better because there is NO EVALUATION SYSTEM other than what students gossip about teachers. Nobody rewards quality work because nobody knows what x or y are doing!! Also, grade inflation and the popularity of some teachers who are "not very good" (and I am quoting students) but who "give high grades" to students who do not deserve them. Also opening sections in some courses and giving them to part-timers when some full-timers suffer from under enrollment and eventually have their sections canceled. the stressThe unbelievable traffic that is surrounding AUB campus -No flexible working hours for married women who have young children, specially with traffic that takes 1.5 hrs at least to reach home in all Beirut suburbs. -inavailability of nurseries at AUBThe unfairness in salarythe unit is so much old and smallthe work load is huge and it is not reflecting the salary.The working conditions at AUB are ridiculous. There is a huge contradiction between the job requirements (do top quality research and teaching) which need a quiet and healthy academic atmosphere, and the constant noise (construction works for e.g.) that we are subjected to everyday, the non-stop disruptions that arise due to administrative incompetence (registration issues that faculty members are not supposed to be dealing with, for instance), and so on... Everything is made in such a way to distract you away from research (which is the main criterion you will be evaluated on). From the yearly challenge to obtain a parking sticker, to the absurd daily security checks on your car; from the overcrowding of the building by students because of the enormous rates of acceptance, to the mismanagement and lack of proper office space, and so many other things... I forgot to mention all the "maintenance" operations (like the yearly floor waxing, which puts all kinds of obstacles around your office, for a whole week!...) And I have just remembered all the events on the green oval (outdoors, dancing, activities for kids with loud music, etc...) And this is exactly the time you were waiting for (after a crowded, mostly teaching week) to resume in your office the deep thinking and concentration required by your research problem... At the same time, everything is made in such a way to affect the quality of your teaching. Again the loud noise coming from constructions, workers and staff, inappropriate classrooms (very small boards for scientific courses...), renovations of examination rooms that take several years to be achieved... Not only are you given a bad classroom; when you arrive the first day of the semester, you find out that it is locked; once unlocked, you find out that there are no chairs, desks or tables... Again, this is just one example of all the mismanagement and lack of professionalism going on... the working jobs is not the same for all department , some departments had hard duty and others heavy ,heavy duties , The workload.

There are much policy breaches and employees are often illiterate, selfish, rude, unreliable, and/or lazy. At AUB, generally the least deserving is the one who reaches the topThere is no justice and no follow-up of old staff.There is no system in place for career development and promotions, such that one person might get promoted every 2 years, while another will only get promoted every 10 years, not because he/she is less deserving [on the contrary], but due to randomness or the luck of having a manager that has clout and can push for the rights of his/her employees. Similarly, some staff are sent on training workshops 2-3 tiomes a year, while others are not sent on any for several years. Also, there is an absence of policies and procedures in my department and lack of leadership and vision, so that we do not work towards goals and objectives, but we work only in reaction to requests. Management does not know how to create stimulating, challenging work.There is no ventilation in the offices when the weather is warm.This is no longer a Medical Academic institution, it is a pseudo academic private practice to have to deal with different departments, a lot of people are unprofessional too much red tapeTraffic

Working at AUB has been great with the exception of the following. I am sad to say that my supervisor is the most unethical individual I have ever been forced to work with. On the bright side, he helped me understand how corruption actually functions! I always wondered how such an individual was made chairman for 2 consecutive terms. The answer maybe is that he made many (good and ethical) people around him benefit from his unethical acts. We have people who regularly teach 2 to 4 (paid) overloads a year, and others are stripped of their courses. We have promotion candidates who are asked to write their own promotion letters, i.e., the department’s recommendation! There are faculty members who are asked to leak exams solutions to individuals he ‘cares’ about. I also wondered how this chairman could have 5 PhD students and several Master’s students without any (or minor) external funding. We really need some serious intervention from upper administration as the Dean seems to have different concerns...working condition, the location of the office (SB).working environmentWorking hours and not being flexible in allowing remote production if physical presence is not always needed.Working on committees which lead to no implementation actions. Working underground and spend long hours alone. working with comptroller and office of grants and contracts.Working with few benefitsworkloadwrong management,having a manager less educated than myselfWrong persons in some positionsyearly bonus paymentsYou can be a research assistant for decades without promotion.

Faculty will havetime to focus on external funding.A better appraisal and motivation systemAcknowledge excellence in work, only few departments do that specially the hospuital!Actively listen to the employees who know the system and who stay here because they genuinely care about the institution and about its success.

Actually I am very happy and I love my job at AUB-MC but the pay check at the end of every month( not fair to jobs assigned to me) and not being promoted or going a step forward for the past 3.5 years by the higher management is demotivating me and with time the ratio of my dissatisfaction is getting higher and higher. Thus, a small jester in money raise (and not the too small merit increase) or in grade would be excellent to carry on and to increase the level of motivation. Add more transparency plus allowing mutual criticism in a very civilized manner for the general welfare in order initiating proper productivity. address the issue of salary and job promotion. invest in young professionals who join AUB to keep them motivated. update the job descriptions regularly to reflect any change.adjust my grade adjust my salary adjust career path value my work improve working environment between employees provide me regular training more visibility and transparency provide ability to make decisions Adjust salariesadjust salary Adjust the yearly increase % rate to match the yearly increase with inflation rates.adjustment of salariesadministration

As a manager grade 13, I do not benefit from the grade since my husband is a doctor. I do not feel recognize in any other way. Like the single employee benefits????????a special package should be given to staff who are not getting any benefits for their grade. Especially that year of service is not considered any more As a matter of fact I gave A.U.B.a lot &A.U.B.gave me a lot.I thank GOD for being working at A.U.B. As an Engineer, I Like to have a BONUS package at the end of the year.as mention earlier As non-Academic, we did not benefit from educational allowances for our children not accepted to study at AUB. This really causes a heavy burden on us. Ask regularly for my feedback in many major issues that concern me as an end user. Also to communicate better the decision and the changes before imposing them on us as end users. Also they can accept criticism and comments openly

-Assess leadership skills in case of promotion to managerial positions. -Middle management leadership skills evaluation on yearly basis. -Better HIP packageAub can enhance the satisfaction of its employees by offering some training programs which might enhance the experience of the employee.AUB must recruit more nurses to decrease work over load inorder to enhance patient and employee satisfactionAUB should look at LAU and learn!AUBMC may increase employees' salaries and provide more opportunitues and help for their employees to continue their education. By doing this, they decrease the possibility of loosing their employees who seek better opportunities outside the country.AUBMC(as a family; with work of everyone) have done tremendous changes to improve satisfaction.I would appreciate if we keep on changing and have the positive attitude towards our vision 2020 (Never go back to the gap that pulled everyone to dissatisfaction ).

There is a general dissatisfaction that purveys the staff and it is infectious. Sometimes a whole unit seems "pissy."

It is important that the supervisory channel (including supervisor, department, HR and Administration) be more understanding, fair and flexible with employees. It is not only good salary that satisfies employees, but also interaction and attitude of the supervisory channel that makes it uncomfortable for employees. However, since many unsatisfied employees admit that having a fair pay would at least motivate them to persist and continue to work. Please note that having better salary is easier than altering/convincing the supervisory channel to become more lenient and understanding to employees. This is why most employees would demand for it and not because all they care about is money. Also, benefits of employees should be given in an easier manner, since most of the time employees struggle to even get their own rights/benefits which are offered with difficulty. I would also like the supervisory channel, especially the HR and Administration to be more involving with the employees. I would also recommend that AUB grant its employees 75% instead of 60% tuition for education. Also, apply a different situation for them which entitles them to pay the same cost of credit from the beginning of their education to their graduation (or like the case of the undergrad program).Janitors should do their work rather than hanging around idly in the corridors.... They should rotate across the campus as they used to instead of staying in the same building for many years.Job security through a fair tenure systemjob security: tenureJust make me feel I belong to the institutionJUSTICEkeep on being fair and supportive to the employeeskeep on encouraging staff to continue education and achieve their goalskmprove salaries, appraisal, reward employees, recognize hard and high quality work, recognize personal professional developmentless bureaucracy increase salaries less of stress listen , share , and advertise Look at the outcome of my work and compare me to the internal equity so that I can be treated equallylooking at HIP systemlooking into past experience and invest using my skills so that i can benefit the institution as well as my selflower premium HIP Insurance cancel percentages of costs(bloodtest, xrays... make a system to evaluate the salaries from time to anothermake a yearly adjustment of salaries and degrees.Make benefits a real benefit and join our parents in the HIP program + lower the price of Hostler and parkingmake duties more flexible and encourage rewards for the employees.make the system less 'personal' and more 'system-based'Make the yearly appraisal less subjectiveMaking people secure and responding to their needs and not make them feel scared of losing their job for speaking up- treating people according to performance and not the level they belong to.manage the issues mentioned in 18Mandatory trainings upon hiring covering all aspect of the JobMandatory yearly evaluation and raise, according to performance, years of working at the institution, attendance of trainings.

Protect against -- instead of encourage -- discrimination in the division of its resources and space (FAS faculty members need as much space and research funds as members of other faculties). If you're going to offer medical doctors start-up research funds, offer equal opportunities to other faculty members, especially given that similar promotion criteria exist for all. Moreover, protect junior faculty from teaching and service overloads, so they can focus on their research. Protect them mainly from senior colleagues in their Departments who have a tendency to give all the busy work to the newcomers.

Provide comprehensive departmental orientation customized to the needs of new managers, on top of the common organizational orientation which all staff receive.provide development chancesProvide good housing opportunities, promote and reward researchProvide me for more opportunities to developPROVIDE ME WITH EDUCATIONprovide more opportunities for course releases when we are part of so many committees. the expectations on faculty is a little too high.-provide more promotion opportunities. -increase the salaries according to the performance appraisal of the employee to be fair.-provide nearby parking -be flexible with time attendance in mornings (allows lateness in mornings to be covered in afternoons)Provide people like me with benefits to feel secure. Provide stimulating, challenging work opportunities; opportunities for career development and training; and implement a system that is fair and based on a transparent process for promotions and raises. Each employee should be considered for promotion every 2-3 years maximum. Either he/she proves they deserve that promotion based on clear and transparent evaluation criteria [explained from the start], or he/she will be passed up for another person. Revisit organograms and job titles and give people titles based on experience, not favoritism.Provide the HR attention to better satisfy staff in terms of stability,security, benefits and salaries. Provide training sessionsPrune the bureaucracy and trust employees to do their jobs. If you don't trust them, FIRE THEM. Publish all accounting information related to payroll costs per unit.push the staff to be more comfortable with his friends at workPut an end to the contradiction between the requirements and the working conditions. Decide if AUB is really a research-oriented university or not. If it is, choose quality above anything else. Quality research requires quality in the faculty daily life on campus. What matters is all those little things that make our days as smooth and quiet as possible. There are many ways to help building a healthy environment, conducive to quality research: reduce the noise as much as possible, reduce the number of admitted students (prefer quality over quantity), reduce the teaching load of faculty members at professorial rank, remove all the useless technical and administrative obstacles that are put on the most trivial things (such as registration, parking, etc...) In short, if AUB is expecting from us in Lebanon to perform in research with the same standards as the top universities in the U.S., the least it can do is contribute to make the atmosphere on campus a little bit comparable to the U.S. standards... put light in the room for charting issues and bring chairs and tables adequate put policies that make staff with experience feel they have fair pay. some new recruits come with unbelievable packages and they do not have that important experience. i also suggest to allow all staff to file all their complaints to an independant body which can say his word freely without getting influenced by the president, VPs or anybody.Put the faculty above all else. The professors ARE the university, not the staff nor the administrators nor the buildings. Too much attention is payed to everything else.Put the right person in the right place (which AUB cannot do; Because AUB Top Management is the main problem(الثلم األعوج من الثور الكبیر)put the trust in the employee that deserves the trust , and not to put the trust in some persons that doesnt deserve ,and make them leaders raise my position so that i can teach courses and do some research. raise my salary and helping me in career ladderRaise my salary and promote me.

Raise my salary, but not the amount of work I do because I am doing the impossible as is - Reduce work load because we have other responsibilities in life; there is life outside of AUB - At this point, AUB can't do anything for me. I have resigned from my position, and will be leaving the university for good by the end of January. AUB sapped all my energy; I don't have any more to give, although I love my profession. Thank you for what AUB has given me, but it's time to move on and live like a normal human being.raise my saleryRaise salaries and offer more benefitsRaise salaries!Raise salaries. - Give more training related to work. - Show care to its employees on the personal level. - Tell its employees where to go to talk and whom to address with their issues. - Have engaging activities where employees can talk, engage with each other, meet each other... - More challenging work. - Rewards based on performance (and not some bonus of 10$ monthly if an employee gets more than 4/5 on the performance appraisal) - Make things go faster, i.e. reduce bureaucracy. - Use the job performance in something valuable. - Add more vacation days. - Think about ways to improve the quality of life of its employees; i.e. many people work underground or inside, this can lead to a lack of motivation and depression, because of sunlight insufficiency. real teamwork and transparency between team members.

You won't retain adults by treating them like school children, like when supervisors talk about banning cellular phones, during breaks, in 2013! It would also help if the management stops scapegoating the employees whenever they percieve something is wrong and try to actually investigate the actual cause of the problem.Some things take too much time, and they are sometimes forgotten. Like the side work after we installed the cubicles is taking 4 months of noise, and dirt on our offices, and empty boxes everywhere on the floor.Sort out lack of computers etc. in English department. Introduce either better pay raises or salary rescaling every few years. Create some sort of promotion for instructors (e.g. "senior instructor"). Stop protecting poor performers.Stop removing the good old benefits that were given to the employees, and bring them back instead! Keep the evalution benefits at the end of the year as they used to be! Do not make us fill out our evaluation forms, then listen to remarks from our supervisors, then get 1% raise!! Come on!! How humilating!! ask the employees their opinions regarding new policies, stop working against employee satisfaction, fix the salary gap between high ranks and medium to low grades! Regard the employee as a human who needs to live a normal life not as a number or a changeable machine whenever it's out of order!! Improve work conditions, duration of a shift, health and educational benifits...Strengthen the bonds between employees from different departments and work on community activities to bring staff together. Substantially increase faculty salaries. As an associate professor, I earn less than many assistant professors in my field at US institutions. This is a MAJOR problem.Support for housing, childcare. Remove many of the approval layers for purchases and travel expenses. Fire staff that fail to perform up to standard. take action to have the right persons in the right position rather than stick to what has always exists.Take my opinion seriously and consider my alternatives when tgey are feasible

In addition, what they charge for is much expensive than if you ask for the same work outside AUB and the quality is also better for may work outside. -During the year, a couple of vacations are announced by the government. These vacations are given to students and not employees. All Lebanon would be off execpt AUB's employees would be going to work. In my opinion, the vacation should be given to all. -The christmas and new year vacation should be joined, especially for departments dealing with teaching (directly related with students). There would be no students, and no professors around. Nothing urgent needs work (except maybe the controller's office). Other universities have the vacation joined for everyone. It seems that AUB does this on purpose so employees use their annual vacations.Not to mention the traffic the employees get stuck into during this period. -The annual raise that employees get after the evaluation differs within faculties. They all should be the same. -Some faculties allow employees to have a different daily schedule (7:30am-4 or 4:30pm instead of 8am-5pm). Let all faculties allow this for emergencies, especially if the chiarman approves. -A sick leave should be given to ladies and if you are male, you will not understand the reason.They can perform more assessments for the ways they might use to become more efficient and productive as a university.thinkly highly of the values of the visiting professors/instructorstill now I 'm satisfied To appoint managers in different departments knowledgeable about the work environment and the field of work.
