This attitude is something that I've heard from many colleagues. If you're not being promoted within your company, staying there for more than two to three years is bad for you. I wonder if hiring managers approach it the same way

"Regularly I get the impression that a lot of grading in the US is rank or curve-based, which seems like total bullshit to me. This is also a sweeping assumption that you shouldn't have made.

I'd really just like professors to grade things with some amount of expediency. You have TAs to help you with the work, and we had a deadline for getting it to you. Since my cost-benefit analysis on how much work I'm going to devo
