I was recently made aware of a facebook post containing some very useful content if your job is at risk from redundancy, or you're worried it might be. You may also find some of the content helpful if your role is secure but redundancies are happening around you (managing survivor's guilt). Full credit, this list was shared in the MA Workforce Covid Support Group on Facebook, but as that's a private group, I can't just reshare the original post, so here are the links in full, in a format anyone can access.

Some parts of the internet are just awful, little breeding pits for spite and horror. But then, you find those gems, those people or accounts who are just smart, supportive, informative, or plain old silly. You may know of the Museum of English Rural Life as the twitter account where the staff, being allowed to have some fun, ended up with an absolute unit of a sheep go viral. It was unusual to say the least. The Mary Rose twitter people are also allowed some leeway for levity, bringing personality to their account. Attendant's VIew, urm, does what it likes, there's no managerial oversight here, just me spouting nonsense and ocassinally getting insenced at things. Fine folks, let me take you on a journey with The Mary Rose... https://twitter.com/TheMERL/status/1237022027040595969  It’s been a bit quiet around here, and I feel it’s worth explaining, rather than just letting the dust gather. The reasons are threefold really.
I’m told less and less about the fantastic kids a FOH worker dealt with, or the comedic actions of colleagues, and more and more about the frustrations. The sad side of staff feeling undervalued, overworked and under-resourced by an increasingly financially squeezed workplace. Or outright redundant, and now scrabbling for one of the few paid roles remaining.  When looking for advice and support online about recording a collection, and creating accompanying documentation, from almost scratch:
Most Sources: Hire a trained Archivist. Me: Do you think I'd be searching the internet if that was an option? Display label is missing from display.
Can't insert head into the cabinet at the right angle to see if it's dropped behind the display plinth. Use phone to take a photo down the back of the plinth, to find the label is there. Dob blue tack onto name badge, and use phone camera feed to see where to aim it behind the plinth. Successfully stick name badge to display label and pull both out. Replace display label in correct location. Feel proud of ingenuity. Realise no-one is around to recognise achievement. Go and treat self to posh coffee to celebrate. |
