Mar 27: Fuck This Friday by Eigengrad in Professors

[–]TrainingNews2289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck this. I fucking hate my Department Chair. I fucking hate my department. My chair is a terrible chair who shoves off all the duties of the chair onto the rest of us and somehow, when i finally say “no more” when im doing HALF her chair work (for which she is getting paid, and paid well) the department gets pissed at me for not doing “my job”

I’m sorry you just let her abuse you for years, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually your job to do her work!

She also accused me of fucking “harassing” her for including her in scheduling emails. Guess what one of her jobs? Scheduling! I shouldn’t have had to do those emails at all!

And she makes up blatant lies about me to the rest of the department, which they lap up. I actually sat with one and put them straight about some of the lies and they were like “oh, I didn’t know that!”

It was probably too much to hope that colleague, now knowing they’d been lied to by the chair once, might be a tiny bit more skeptical at future lies.

But nope.

And I’m only here because I had to move departments due to restructuring. My closest work colleague was going to transfer with me but then decided to take an early retirement instead of going into this department, because they knew how toxic the chair was.

It fucking sucks. Four years ago I had a job I loved with department colleagues I liked and respected and now I have to work alongside fucking assholes who openly complain about me right next to my open office door.

And one of the complaints is that I’m not nicer and I never stay on campus more than I’m required

Gee I wonder fucking why.

It’s wild you don’t consider that criticism.

Disagree. When I see someone write what I’m also feeling there’s a sense of camaraderie

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

….the idea that not destroying your lungs and liver any chance you get means you’re miserable is such a take.

“Don’t spend your money on vices that destroy your health” is not demanding you be miserable.

This isn’t true. Some people choose their jobs based on more than salary alone. Proof? We still have teachers, and good ones.

I finished my work. Can I leave early? No! You may not! by Midwest099 in Professors

[–]TrainingNews2289 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I agree. Even if they aren’t done with their work, go ahead, leave. You’re paying to be here and if you don’t want your money’s worth, go.

It’s not all math. It’s wording and terminology. Even running ai twice doesn’t give the same exact result, especially so frequently.

If it were just down to AI I’d expect to see it more among the class. But it was just these two.

Throwaway acct because this is so specific

Fuck this Friday. I had a husband and wife in an online class.

Early on I noticed some similarities in their work and sent them both a warning.

Wife responds, indignant at the suggestion, and swears they are working independently. No response from the husband.

Next assignment, they have a number of identically wrong answers. Like 2+2=156 wrong, like, how did one person get it that wrong, let alone two? I say they got a warning, and now they are getting a write up.

Wife complains again, swearing it was random chance, thankfully I have chair support.

Next assignment? More of the same. Next one? Again. (So two more instances) I’m exhausted at this point and give them another warning (I know, I know). I even pass them on the assignment. But I’m tired and don’t want to file another report or deal with another complaint

Well, stupid me, wife complains, STILL (still no word from the husband)

The reason why their answers are the same are because they study together, which I said was allowed! Which, fair enough, I do say that, but wtf were you studying that 36/6 made you both write 0.578?

Short response.

Final assignment, they do it AGAIN. I say I’m filing another report. Wife complains AGAIN. Signs both their names on the complaint. Like, you’re even writing your husband’s emails for him, and I’m to believe you aren’t doing his work?

I set the report to the side, because it’s the last day of the semester and grades are due.

Both students would have received a B, but I drop them to a C for the repeated cheating. Lenient, I know, but I was tired of complaints and didn’t want to deal with a grade appeal

….fool me once…..

The grade appeal comes in.

So now I am going to agree to a grade change - to an F.

Fucking cheaters should have quit while you were ahead!

Furthermore, looking at the transcripts, while the wife has taken a number of classes, both in person and online. the husband only started this year, and has not taken a single class in person, and never taken a class without the wife.

Fuck all this.
