Chat Thread: Ready for the reign/rain to end

[WindyCityDeac]

Told my team today I’m leaving. After our call ended got a call from one of the guys that he is resigning. Had another person resign last week. This place is a mess…

Oh and my current boss is suing the company and isn’t planning on coming back from her 2 weeks of PTO

 

[Biff Tannen]

So they have openings ?

 

[BarcaDeac]

Windy bout to get the band back together

Little bit late, but Last of the Mohicans and Legends of the Fall are two of my favorite movies from the 90s. Don't get me started on Dances with Wolves. I can rave on for hours.

i loved Dances with Wolves

Do you tell them more what you think they want to hear or the truth?

And how close are these two in your work world?

I am well known in my place of employment for not caring about what people want to hear. I'm not rude about it, but I am direct and I provide detailed explanations. I'm grateful to be at a place where I do not worry about that leading to some kind of retribution, though I could see how it might limit my career options for jobs I'm not really interested in.

I just got the employee survey today.

I will be very very direct

I re lwatched legends of the fall recently and it did not hold imo.

Same for me. I work for a company with less than 50 employees and the owners know I will speak my mind…sometimes I will curse. Fortunately, I am normally correct so I get some leeway.

I disagree.

@Strickland33 et al. I am reviewing CV's for an open faculty position that my department is filling and I am 100% convinced that I would never land a job if I graduated in the last 2-3 years. These people are talented and have more papers and citations that I do currently.

Also, how many applications did you get?

Not many, 35.

The guy I just reviewed graduated in 2023, already has 370 more citations than I do with 6 fewer papers. Including being lead author on an R package with 671 citations.

It's such an epic movie that encapsulates so many subplots.

That level of production/influence is absurd for a grad student.

It just keeps getting more absurd. Another guy graduated in 2019, 11 years after me, and has 1200 more citations to his work than I do. WTF?

 

[BarcaDeac]

Number go up
