Pretentious and gossip-centered environment with colleagues saying negative and often unprofessional comments about peers they did not like but pretending to get along with them at collaborative meetings with those individuals. Both macro and microaggressions were experienced by BIPOC co-workers. Research Administration leadership had poor perception of BIPOC Minnesotans ability to be successful in roles at the institute and openly said so in an all-team meeting. Lack of public disclosure of colleague salaries. When requests for feedback were made to management, only positive information was shared back without including areas of opportunity. Therefore, colleagues were often left clueless about potential areas of improvement they should focus on. Serious employee health issues that impacted ability to perform work activities were minimized and little to no support and/or resources were shared with employees.
