@Virusnerdette @MateHG Same! Former UK academic here, now working in the Canadian system. Went through the same stuff which eventually drove me away to better pastures.
Keep going!!

@ashleyruba_phd I guess unions aren’t really a thing in the US - but in Canadian TT system, if someone is giving you issues you can get them off your committee, so you can avoid this sort of situation to begin with of “staying silent”.

@MarvinSchmittML @ashleyruba_phd Generally true, altho those of us in tech subjects are already very aware of the transferable skills we possess and often have a company on the side of our academic jobs, just in case things tank with the university system ;)

@DutchOven969 Have a look at academic job wiki (https://t.co/I2fM04i7t2) I found my current tenure track position there (went from UK academia to Canada academia)

@thought_bender @Austen @villi You need some hobbies that aren’t just work/capitalism related.

[xylem records @XylemRecords]

@Austen @villi capitalism is also very much a recipe for all of those things as well. Perhaps not seeing everything through a lens of toxic productivity is a good start.

@PatricProAuthor Half southern British/half west coast Canadian (I’m a Canadian who has lived in UK for over 12 years so things are a bit weird now accent wise 🥴

@yevgenydevine @williamdawalrus @leahculver Your sexism and stupidity is showing, sir.

[xylem records @XylemRecords]

@ashleyruba Awesome!

@n_g_laskowski I just kept pushing and got a TT job, but have always kept doing software eng consultancy work - cause having that industry connection keeps me sane.

@yael_niv @_rdgao @ashleyruba Just putting this is out there but I’ve noticed a lot of post docs in Australia are paid ~95k (around 100k CAD/60k GBP). So it IS very much possible to pay a decent salary to a so called trainee.
