Pour tous les titulaires qui ont du mal à comprendre qu'être jeune chercheur·e à l'Université aujourd'hui soit complètement démoralisant et qu'on n'ait pas envie de se tuer à la tâche pour des perspectives de carrières plus que bouchées.
Le collectif Nos services publics a sorti un rapport sur l'ubérisation de l'Université : notre avenir c'est la précarité... ou le burn out. Merci, non merci.
Reading the PhD thesis of a Boomer colleague who wrote it in the 1970s and then got a lifelong steady lectureship at their home department. It's a solid piece of work, respect on that account. But it's only about 95 pages long.
Us gen-X academics in the humanities went to uni with completely unrealistic expectations.
With all the people who used to have very good, stable jobs (in IT, etc) suddenly in #GetFediHired, it is a good time to remind us techies that yes, you can earn a lot of money — and yet remain precarious:
Causerie & Concert / UNION THUGS (OI! Folk Punk Monréal)
Le CPCR & le Front Antifasciste Liège ont le plaisir d’accueillir UNION THUGS (Canada) pour une causerie et un concert le lundi 28 août dès 19h dans le cadre de leur première tournée européenne !
Tech folks don’t get to think about this kind of thing often but DON’T CROSS PICKET LINES. Taking this gig while the strike is going on is a dirty move. Have a little solidarity with your fellow creative souls and sit it out for a bit.
Not that I justify backstabbing fellow wageworkers - that's always bad.
But if >99% of all U.S. households can't handle a surprise expense of $400, they can much less accept a paycheck cut, and employers know that most #WageWorkers are in a #Precariat!
