Welcome to the corporate world where you will have to obey to obscure requests, work on boring projects, spend all of your day in useless meetings, and suck it up.
On a different note, the grass is always greener on the other side.
- readhn 6y agoTime to change a job... 1 meeting a week here .. Management is super against wasting everyone's time in endless useless meetings.
- whatever1 6y agoRegardless what the management’s strategy is, you have to clap.
- JamesBarney 6y agoExcept for the useless meetings, is this that different from academia?
- whatever1 6y agoBeing a professor is more like being a business owner, than an employee. You are the master of your own, you get to have people working on your ideas, but granted you have to submit a lot of proposals to achieve so. Definitely though you don’t have anybody over your neck dictating you what you should be doing day-in, day-out.
- JamesBarney 6y agoIsn't that just tenured professors, a small portion of academia, which doesn't include adjunct professors, teacher assistants, or research assistants?
- throwawaygh 6y ago> tenured professors It includes all tenure-track professors. > which doesn't include adjunct professors Yeah, those are called "temp teachers". Don't get distracted by the fact that they teach courses at a university instead of a high school. The job is functionally the same. > teacher assistants, research assistants That's not a job. That's a thing a student can do to receive funding for their studies. It's up to the student to make sure that they use the time they invest in their phd program wisely. Good professors will help.
- throwawaygh 6y agoThe academy of the 1960s is dead. All of those things now exist in universities as well.
