Having tenure does not mean you do not have time pressure. You still have students and postdocs under you and you still need to win grants to do research and pay salaries.
You are constantly under evaluation whether you have tenure or not.

- austinjp 5y agoPresumably this depends on the country and the institution, but you certainly could be "overlooked" and end up with work that is tedious and unlikely to garner plaudits. I'm sure that after a while this could lead to something approximating firing, being "asked to move on" or similar.
