Cancer Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Retirement is better. When you get tenure, they stack more meetings on you. Those go away in retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those go away in retirement. I have to disagree. For those of us who have worked over forty years at a job and _still_ run the terrifying daily risk of getting fired at any moment for reasons completely beyond our control, tenure is the most ass-kicking thing there is, period.

Cancer Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 It's breaking down now, as the business types capture university administrations and start firing the most expensive non-administrators (but they never cut themselves, and administrators are paid 12 months a year, not 9), who are the long-term tenured faculty. I understand the attraction, but that is evolving away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I'd like to say "that sucks." Actually, I _will_ say that sucks, because that sucks. But it's really the only thing the vast majority of us have ever known anyway, so I'll just say "welcome aboard." The go be sad for both of us for a bit.

Sociotard Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 My moms technical college recently upgraded to college. I asked her if she was going to get tenure now, as she's been a math instructor so long. She laughed and said her school wasn't even toying with tenure for anyone.
