I'm getting pretty sick of writing papers for free. For my PhD and postdoc I've worked on other people's big projects. Every time they strategically keep me in the lab for the entire duration of the fellowship with no time to write, knowing full well that I have to write papers to get a job, and that I'll do it for fre...
I could probably write more if not reviewing 3+ papers per each published. I had no idea it was that many until I looked up my reviewer stats.

One way I'd think about it is if you're not planning to submit your own papers to journals in the future, then you don't need to review for them. If you do, and aren't expecting to pay others to review your paper for you, then you're kind of being a hypocrite.

Aren’t you already paid for ‘service’ - employment contracts might mention say 10% of your time to be dedicated to service. You don’t owe more than that. Just make a weekly time budget, and anything that requires more than that is a red line.

You should feel free to turn down a request to review if you aren’t interested in the topic. That’s how I decide what to review - whether or not I actually want to read the paper. It won’t hurt your tenure case if you occasionally say no.

I flunked someone for plagiarism. I just discovered they hired a PI to investigate me. Does anyone have experience with this? I’m in a tenure track position in the social sciences at a school in the Midwest. Last semester, I flunked a student for plagiarizing part of a paper (it was a clear case of copy and paste from ...

I would go to a lawyer first. I'd ask the lawyer if I could file both criminal and civil charges and sue the student into next week. They'll probably say no which is disappointing because I'd want to nail that little shit to the wall. One thing you may find the lawyer actually doing for you is filing a restraining o...

No advice beyond that given, but just want to express solidarity. Who are these supposed academics who don't understand that your university doesn't need to fire you - they just need to quietly deny you tenure for a plausible reason, which at your university may be the code of conduct.

This is horrible, I feel for you. One thing you need to consider is that you have no proof the student would stop blackmailing you if you stopped the proceedings.

Me every single day. I feel stupid all the time. In my field. But i know I’m not that stupid maybe (?)
What's even stranger, is learning your professors, who are at the top of their field and extremely knowledgeable, are subject to the same lack of knowledge, because they simply forget. The reason why they keep telling us to read their articles, is because they wrote it down so they wouldn't have to remember. If they'...

I feel a lot of anxiety related to this. I also get very anxious about the need to circumscribe whatever it is I'm writing to a reasonable, cogent "message" – I keep seeing holes in everything I write and wanting to fix them. I mean, some of those gaps must be dealt with, but you also just have to say enough at times a...

This is sometimes why I watch Groundhog Day on repeat. Imagine getting to do each day over and over again before we get it right? And what can’t we do that? Haha... besides the whole time dilation thing.

Yep, this is pretty much how I feel all the time. No matter how much I learn, there will always be so much I will never be able to learn if only because the limits of life expectancy. But I'll be damned if I don't try to fit in as much as I can in the mean time!

You can only do what you can do. As philosophers and songwriters have observed, no one gets out alive. There is no official checklist to complete for the academic career roleplaying game.

It doesn't even pay in prestige tbh. It's not like socially people give a shit whether you have a PhD or not. > Why did I do this to myself?

If you want money, academia is the wrong place. You'll have much more financial success going corporate, but less freedom on what you want to do. It's hard, but you've just gotta weigh up on what you want more and if you want seriously higher pay that corporate is the way to go

A friend of mine used to say that we'd committed financial suicide by getting PhDs. For whatever it's worth, you're not at all alone in being disappointed by what your graduate studies led to.

Why did I pursue a PhD if it has not led to any opportunities? I’m feeling pretty down at the moment. I’ve been applying to TT jobs for a few years and have gotten no luck. I received my PhD from an average state school in 2015 and have had two relatively fruitful postdocs the last 5 years. I’ve published 10 papers in ...

Surely you must have some teaching or research skills of some sort? Or did you go down the path in such a way as to avoid teaching at all costs? I know some who did this - one coworker in particular treated his TA work like a joke and his students rated him with 1's and 2's on RateMyProfessor. Regardless, setting aside...

What you are describing is the result of the expanding federal granting program in STEM field that support doctoral student tuition and multiple post docs all overseen by a single TT professor. This was a cheap way to get the research done by talented but underpaid people. Since the TT professor is not retiring and uni...
If you want money, academia is the wrong place. You'll have much more financial success going corporate, but less freedom on what you want to do. It's hard, but you've just gotta weigh up on what you want more and if you want seriously higher pay that corporate is the way to go

Don’t blame yourself, Covid destroyed the job market. Try looking at industry jobs.
Have you considered breaking into consulting or investment banking? I've heard that PhDs in those industries are valued a lot.

I currently teach high school... We plan to be open face to face, once a kid gets COVID we're out for a week and anyone who was in class with that kid is out an additional week for quarantine... In a school with almost 2k students. Yeah, ok...
I’m surprised that USA Colleges are having face-to-face classes at all. It’s a high risk activity considering the potential outcome. Here in Australia where we are in a lot better position regarding COVID we are expecting to teach remotely from day 1.

In all honesty; it's not going to happen. They *intend* to open, and they'd vastly prefer to open from a revenue perspective, but at the same time they're all quietly planning for the possibility (or, rather, probability) of online-only instruction. Eventually, they'll start acknowledging it.
