So, while I have never worked at any of the universities in question, I did work at a major university in IT for several years (University of Texas at Austin), and while it was not perfect, it does not resemble what you just described. So, I don't know if this is a difference between universities, or perhaps your frustration with your own experience making you slant things a little more negatively than it really is? Or maybe it was really that bad wherever you were. I would just like to say it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't nearly that bad where I was.

I think you'll find a lot of this type of thing in threads like these - the better range of experiences go from "okay" to "pretty nice", but the bad can get very horrible, very fast, and people tend to remember the bad more. Especially if you have to seemingly fight against everyone on a daily basis just to do the basics of your job.

  Yes and even a bit more selection bias, in that it's more interesting to write about the weird (bad) places. (If nothing weird (bad) happened, in a way there's nothing to write about?)
