And the opinion piece by Thorp (13 Oct) doesn't bode well either. Basically, academics have learned nothing and changed nothing across many decades of discontent.

I blame male economists and lawyers mostly.

Is there a hashtag for that

Rando old-school scientist upon catching me pregnant:
“What! that’s two for you already. That’s plenty”

Rando NAS lawyer:
“No, fed law does not say you get a pumping space, just NY law… be grateful you have your own office…” 2weeks later, co-worker walks in on me pumping in ‘my own’ office

5weeks post-birth: Working from home bc 0 paid leave days. {Boss} demands I show up to personally pass along PM anger at me for having too many paleoclimate pubs
… … …

Guys: Please stop making irrelevant comments and questions on threads like this, and read the research 😒 You may be doing exactly the same behavior that’s implicated in these studies regarding poor workplace culture. Let’s do better

Cf: articles shared by @Sheril

I doubt the picture is much different I other public sectors either.

Cheers for links.
