I used to be a tenured professor (senior lecturer) and while universities treat adjuncts badly they also don&#x27;t treat tenured professors any better. While the job has a lot of good points respect from your employer is not one of them.<p>At least here in Australia tenure really doesn&#x27;t exist anymore. If they want to get rid of you they just wait for the next departmental reshuffle (these seem to occur every couple of years) and eliminate your position.
