An #AcademicChatter impression from Germany: „Go ahead and cry“ (Heul doch). This was the published comment by a journalist on the crushed hope to reform the options of getting a permanent academic position. Applaus from the 85% of non-permanent academic workers at German universities! #HeulDoch #ResearchWonderland
The message such comments are transporting is devastating and treating the #Nachwuchs (i.e. everyone without a permanent full professorship in Germany; #IchbinHanna) like stupid kids: Do not complain, play along, enjoy your short time in the system, academia is only for those with luck and money. I am shaking my head in disbelieve.
Arbeitsbedingungen in der Wissenschaft: Hör auf zu heulen, Hanna!

Zwei Jahre haben junge Wissenschaftler:innen für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen gekämpft. Doch an ihrem größten Projekt, einem neuen Gesetz, sind sie gescheitert.
