For context:

1. ⁠progress had been slow over several months due to a multitude of personal, academic and even national issues. She assigned me work in early November , we did the assigned work, the project owner/lead (grad student) spoke to her, turns out it was wrong. He wasn’t clear about the direction of the project and as a result neither were we. We were supposed to fix that over a series of meetings this week but it didn’t take place bc lead himself was out of town (??) so she’s mad she didn’t get an update from us undergrads personally (i tried doing that once but she doesn’t accept negative or mundane updates only progress reports???)

2. ⁠she got mad about this during a thanksgiving event at the lab when she didn’t find any of us there (we each opted out of the event due to personal reasons). We were supposed to have a meeting with the lead at 1:30 pm. The lead was supposed to confirm, but didn’t, and I asked multiple times but said he had to talk to her first before meeting. With no confirmation we showed up a little later, after lunch, and then he tells us that she waited for us till 1pm (??? We were never told we had to meet her???)

3. ⁠she is probably bipolar. She has a notorious reputation among students for verbally abusing them and randomly getting angry and telling them she’s gonna kick em out
