[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t you just do a mediocre job and not get fired? You have tenure.[/quote] No because then they make me teach more classes every term. I could do a worse job with those but there is a limit to how little you can do. Plus I hate teaching. I only took the job for the research. I would rather quit and do almost anything else than teach. I was hired because I am I am an excellent researcher, writer , analyst, programmer, physicist, chemist and project manager and understand how to get things done. Those would be highly useful elsewhere but not if I done away classroom teaching 40 hours a week and doing grading for another 20. Tenure isn’t what it used to be, friends. Even at the “elite” school where I work. [/quote] PP tenured professor who you conveniently have not responded to. I have never heard of an "elite" school without TAs for grading, so now this post is extra fishy [/quote]
