Yeah, but did you spend three months of your PhD playing Quake III deathmatches with your office mates on the department LAN? Huh? Did you?! Thought not. . . . This thread has made me realise I was just a *horrible* PhD student!
If not against law, it's almost certainly against HR policy at the institution.

What’s the law?
-
I'm not sure but regarding HR I did a training course at that and this institution and letters are required and must be obtained and read prior to hiring somebody. Even if they are weighted with a 0, which is allowed, they must be obtained prior to a hire.

BTW I'm not really an appropriate role-model/example as I neither think I will make it realistically, nor do I want/need to be a PI.
-
Sure but is a measure of a phd being on track whether they will make it as a PI one day or not? Maybe it is
-
In my experience, for most people: yes. Given the reactions I get when I say I'm not interested in being a PI, I'd say mortified isn't that far off of they like me and "yeah I knew you couldn't make it" if they don't.
-
But it’s a bit outdated. Majority of phd students move out of academia
-
Yes. I feel like I need to underline that I don't agree with them, so I am. Nevertheless, I do have trouble not seeing myself as a failure anyway, but that's not relevant to outmoded views, just my own pessimistic outlook.
