I rarely mobilise my professional status. But as a Professor of Work and Employment, I can confidently say that £100k is a huge salary. It’s about 3 times the average UK salary. It’s taxed very differently but it’s still a huge salary.

I am very, very angry that universities keep sending me urgent (i.e. ~24 hours) requests for references saying that they won't offer the job to the candidate unless they get it in the deadline. This is unacceptable.

I've studied a lot of industrial disputes. Sooner or later all disputes end and work restarts. Then the parties reap the consequences of their behaviour during the dispute. Intransigent universities will notice a reduced enthusiasm and goodwill for a LONG time. #USSstrike

Today I had zoom meetings from 0800 to 1700. I had 15 mins with no zoom. I lay down when I got home. I can’t move. (Almost literally).

One week on, my local primary is part-closed with active cases. That’s all it takes. A week.

I put on a dress today. To be an external for a viva. (A very good outcome.) But it’s weird wearing a dress and slippers.

As a general rule, if you are in a work setting and you are the one shouting, you’ve lost.
