OSWEGO, NY- Student employees at Littlepage Dining hall are expressing concerns about the conditions they work in. According to student employees, a letter was sent out by Auxiliary services addressing a student who came forward on behalf of multiple students. Many of whom had problems with the way managers treated them during their shifts.
The unidentified managers allegedly presented themselves with bad attitudes and frequently took out their frustration on student employees.
“I don’t want to be around in a workplace that’s negative, and sometimes, it gets a little too negative.” said Anisha Melton, a concerned student employee at Littlepage Dining Hall.
In a response to the allegations, Oswego’s Director of Dining services, Ruth Stevens, sent a mass letter to the student employees at Littlepage. The letter asks for feedback while providing resources for students including herself, for students who are unhappy. The letter is an effort to maintain a positive work environment and students can choose to remain confidential.
“I can learn, (and) our managers can learn.” Stevens said. “We can become better at what we do and we can find a better way of doing things. I think communication is key.”
Auxiliary services is the largest student employer on campus with over five hundred student employees serving it’s five residential dining centers.
