Feels pathetic to say it, but I have lost all hope that my academic job will improve, and at 52 I highly doubt anyone would hire me to something new, so what on earth can I do, just be miserable for 8 years until I can retire?Being in Tasmania the number of private bioscience startups is … low.

ha ha, my promotion application bringing together 11 years of the things I've built and innovated, going the extra mile, heart and soul stuff, was met with four months of total silence, followed by "nope".

I work at the UW Parkside and we serve more low income students than any other school in the system. I can't adequately express how mad this makes me.

I peruse job ads frequently, as I'm sure many academics do. I have noticed a ton of openings in my field (Art/Design) in the US south, particularly Texas and Florida. I wounder why that is????? Far fewer desirable positions to be found in other areas. I'm not looking looking, just passive, but it seems remarkable.
