Lab manager and research associate managing 2 research labs and a multiuser instrument facility. - Lab Manager bei NASA: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Number and variety of responsibilities can be overwhelming. Lack of funding leads to a lot of DIY that is extremely inefficient. Lack of management support and lack of desire to make institutional changes to create efficiencies is very frustrating. Lack of communication between management/support organizations creates additional work. Dynamic bureaucracy means that once you have the vagaries of the organization figured out, it changes and you have to start all over figuring things out.
