2. Work environment! |
|
Does
your job entail you working with others on a daily basis? Is this
something you like/dislike about your job? Explain
Yes, there are 7 of us in the kitchen at any given time. Our kitchen was designed when student population was about half of what it is today. It is crowded and work space is very cramped, and some people aren't as considerate of others as they should be.
|
|
Do you work collaboratively with supervisors/managers?
No
|
|
Do you work collaboratively with your co-workers?
Yes
|
|
Describe
your work location (e.g., office, home, theatre, in the field) and what
you like/dislike about working in it
The cafeteria/kitchen was designed for cooking/serving about half of the kids that we have and is probably at maximum serving/seating capacity now. It's hard not to get in each other's way, and our walk-in refrigerator is too small. I also dislike having to sweep and mop the cafeteria every day-every other building has a janitor/janitors, and we could spend that time doing a more thorough job of cleaning the food preparation/serving areas.
