@PhilipGarrett thanks. I warned by supervisors that I will be even more obnoxious from now on.

Officially upgraded to associate professor with lifetime tenure. I’m told that it’s almost impossible to fire me, so get ready for subversive comments.

I was upgraded to a no limit position, which is kind of like tenure. Basically it means I’m harder to get rid of. But, I discovered that the university doesn’t give you a contract. You just work with some magical understanding of what you’re supposed to do.

Is this normal? Seems at least legally problematic. Any other people working in Japan have a similar situation?
