A Dishonest, Indifferent, and Toxic Culture
I want to express sympathies in a particular way:<p>When I had a job I didn’t want, in a city i didn’t want, no kids, no wife, and prospects abounding, it was easy to speak truth to power.  I did it, and I was right technically, businesswise, and 
morally.  What a win...(?)<p>Now, I have my dream job, my dream location, my own damn house, and my family.  -Whole thing feels like a dream I might wake up from if I am not careful...  and I feel totally weighed down when it comes to speaking up in a way I would have never countenanced a few years ago.<p>All that to say, this poor kid... I can only imagine the incentive structures that led him to choose this route, but I know academia being f’ed is a big part of it, and it ticks me off.
