@exosome @JulesBass6 @NathanCycle @LSTCI_Lab Real classy of you to call someone a psycho while simultaneously working on mental health problems. When’s the last time you dropped whatever you were doing to bring someone a glass of water? You seem dense and not worth the energy to continue talking with.

@mdjulianamf @JulesBass6 @NathanCycle @LSTCI_Lab Just because your perspective isn’t that of exploitation doesn’t mean it isn’t. There’s a definite power imbalance between the head of a lab and an employee which is easily exploitable.

@GwyerFindlay Exactly. It’s actually mortifying for the original poster’s lack of self awareness.

@westeawest It’s ridiculous and pretty telling on how they probably view their own lab colleagues.

@mdjulianamf @JulesBass6 @NathanCycle @LSTCI_Lab You do realize how inappropriate it is to exploit your lab personnel as personal assistants right?

@mycroscopy @JulesBass6 @NathanCycle @LSTCI_Lab I can’t believe how many people are posting thinking it’s hilarious. Says a lot about how they view lab colleagues.

@exosome @JulesBass6 @NathanCycle @LSTCI_Lab What is super cool about it exactly? The fact that she treats her lab manager like a servant or the fact that her lab manager spent his own money to avoid having to be a servant?

@JZPhilosophy We’re paid to get grants. If you don’t get one it doesn’t matter how much of the other stuff you do, you’re still out the door.

@InsightMakerAI @Slipgate0 @ChenxinLi2 Calling out this behavior when it happens. You can kindly say excuse me but can I finish my conversation? Appeasing this type of behavior reinforces it which is why we have this culture of entitlement amongst academics.

@MalissaAlinor So sorry. I hope you and everyone else are okay. I can’t imagine how traumatizing this must have been. Sending best wishes!

@ThePerryLab Being a scientist is great. However, being an academic scientist is not always great and is the topic of discussion here. I’m happy to hop off of this hamster wheel with you. I’ve made my point clear as has you.

@ThePerryLab Also take a step back and ask yourself if using your great experience to distract from people airing their grievances gives the impression of a supportive environment. We should be uplifting voices of those who have courage to speak out regarding systemic abuses in academia.

@ThePerryLab And many would say the total opposite. Downplaying those negative experiences because you didn’t have that IMO is one reason why change is so slow in the academic arena.

@ThePerryLab I would encourage you read the MANY posts of junior scientists being trampled on in the academic track. Calling them fringe issues seems off base. Once again, it’s great you and your colleagues have had a good experience, but that doesn’t negate other’s negative experiences.
