This article has been posted and discussed on HackerNews before. I mean, not this exact same article, but the same narrative written by different authors. That shows on the one hand that a lot of people are unfortunately affected by the same problem, but it also means that it's not a new problem.

And perhaps they really do? But people lose their jobs all the time, why would academia be any different to any other work place?
