    this thread, man every single thing I've ever read about academia makes it sound like nothing but a nest of abusers and bullieshttps://twitter.com/RobertTalisse/status/1332351193306292225 …

    I defended my dissertation 20 years ago today The first questioner began, “Well, Mr. Talisse.... I’m not persuaded by any of your arguments. Reading this spoiled my Thanksgiving” He paused, and I responded, “That wasn’t a question” Things escalated

        2/ I once had a manager at a software firm (figuratively) rip my head off because I didn't do something in the manner he hadn't explained he wanted. >>>https://twitter.com/markcheathem/status/1332482655921844229 …

        At my defense, the only professor who didn't read my dissertation showed up 15 minutes late, rolled a cannonball down the table (my dissertation was not on military history, mind you), expounded on Napoleonic military tactics, and fell asleep when he sat down.

        3/ HIS manager was appalled, told him to apologize. So the first manager took me aside, hemmed and hawed, then told me about Prussian military academies wargames for 30 minutes, then told me that he had a meeting, so "good talk!"

        4/ It was a pretty academic company. I've never had anything like that take place at a normal company.

        It’s all the picked-on kids from junior high and high school who never moved past their bullying, IMO.

        Gatekeeping is a hell of a drug. Perhaps Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy comes into play too.

        same thing, but with no academic title academia started out being just some smart guys who trusted each other

        Replying to @MorlockP

        I would contend that there are bullies/abusers in every industry/field, but some academics are so sheltered from the usual rough-and-tumble of life outside academia that they over-report [and possibly exaggerate some of] their negative experiences. (Also STEM/humanities divide.)

        In private industry, if you're abusive towards productive people, they'll leave to work for your competitors.
