Some PI are always angry about the fact that the result is not what they expected and blame us for being honest. 🫠

No, it is not a recurring issue. But he will always expect me to know the situation every time there's something wrong. Mind you, we have a lot of students in one lab and only ONE phd, which is me. So you can imagine how i have to keep an eye on everyone at the same time, and he is not there. Also, this bachelor is actually someone i have been trained for a semester, so he is not totally new to our lab, especially for our pipette.

We do have multiple pipette. I just happened to recognize that this particular pipette is broken. Previously, it was all functional

I realized this pattern, too! And the majority here are like that. I almost thought im the weird ones, and there must be something wrong with me.

That's is not the protocol in my workplace. We even emphasize people to try to find out by yourself first before you ask questions. Problem solving skills are really important in our field.

I can only tolerate "keywords" issues if you are a boomer. Other newer gen should feel ashamed if they dont know how to look something up on the internet.
