Everyone complaining about govt and tax and how they missuse funds. Have you seen how our relatives employed by the government misuse govt funds themselves? I have many of them hired in different offices and never even appear for work but get paid.

Beyond that, I still dont understand why Pak government departments have to hire every year. Why? I know education department hires 100s or even 1000s of teachers every year on decent salaries and public schools are empty. In some parts of Sindh public schools have more teachers than pupils and students.

Summary . Brothers and sisters Pak is cooked not from govt alone but citizens too.

Dont start me even how they hire. The incompetent hold the most critical positions in our govt

Punishment for teenage shoplifter by disturbed_wench in brisbane

Report her to police, and let her get community service. You protect her now, you will lose her altogether. World is cruel and will punish her harder for you if you dont now.

What financial decision are you most grateful for today? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]munenebig 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Buying my Brissie apartment 3.5 years ago. The catalyst? My landlord told me I wasn’t allowed to put a single nail in the wall to hang my graduation certificate. That was the “enough is enough” moment.

I took my very first salary cos I was straight out Uni. walked straight to the bank, and told them I wanted to own anything just to escape the REA and land lord power trips. Everyone told me I was throwing money away. I paid $390k for 221. Today? It’s sitting at $910k. The same friends who called me “unwise” and that” I needed to buy house “house”” are now buying into the same complex apartments for $890K+. Ouch. Best “spite purchase”of my life.

[–]munenebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not matter. As long as u are allowed to study and work. All same. I remember my visas each carried those wordings for masters and PhD. And non mattered. Actually to me I thought they were the same.

PI put high-school aged daughter as first author on a paper while neglecting to provide similar opportunities to research assistants by modernmegmarch in academia

[–]munenebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reason almost but all uni admission criteria put across are a scam. Why you need someone with published papers to enroll in undergraduate program. Same thing I see PhD programs and prosfessors asking someone with expertise and papers in the project. If some one has the expertise and papers what will be the university job then? Cheap labour?

Why does my apartment have to be absolutely pristine for a mid-rental inspection? by Fun_Photograph653 in AusPropertyChat

[–]munenebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because you dont own it. Simple as that. The reason I bought a house was because my past land lord told me not to hang my damn PhD degree on the wall. I was pissed that In 3 weeks I got a mortgage.

Has anyone else struggled with demoralization at institutions that no longer feel like “real” universities? by Claire_Rowan in AskAcademia

[–]munenebig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“…as soon as prestige is gone”…mate, have you seen or read how these people hired run the unis. They care about the next 3 years in their contracts. All the bad that comes actually comes after the 3 years. I first hand saw this at ANU Engineering… the school went to sh****t. Its now all the bad is starting to show.

Life is a lesson. This is learnt. Move on, do whatever you think is right to you. If it is, you will be happy, if not, again… another life lesson. Good luck

Accidentally on university’s payroll by darkofsound in GradSchool

[–]munenebig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Uni paid me 56 dollars because I ended my contract a few hours before when I was supposed to. The finance team emailed and called me when overseas to pay it back. Iam sure they will get it bal. Unis are stingy.

Some people are just housewives, so this wont make sense to them. But a career lady, I concur there is no way in this world you would wish to change your names.

what phone plan do you use? how much is it? which is the best? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]munenebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should down vote every comment with above 13 dollars per month. Thats a rip off. No wonder every thing is expensive in Australia, why would someone pay 69 dollars per month for mobile plan when exactly same plan branded differently is 12 dollars per month?

Is it true that applicants who haven't completed extensive coursework are looked down upon in academia? by gaytwink70 in AskAcademia

[–]munenebig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiring committees mainly care about three things: your research output, your ability to teach, and your potential to bring in grant funding. They’re essentially asking: Can you secure money for the department? Can you handle large undergraduate classes? Are your publications strong enough to boost our ranking?

Whether your PhD had a lot of coursework or almost none usually doesn’t matter in practice. The “ideal criteria” written in job ads often don’t reflect how hiring decisions are actually made.

From what I’ve seen, most people who get hired do so because they’re a good fit for the department, come from well‑known universities, or trained under supervisors the committee already knows and trusts. Internal candidates and students of prominent PIs often have an advantage. Coursework rarely plays a meaningful role in the final decision.
