@tayfonay @johncarlosbaez @watchie Glad to hear you stayed until you got restitution. Not in academia, but was union member in a hospital doing the work that should have had a salary bump (12.5%), and was promised the position once one opened up. Got passed over so I had to go to arbitration to get my back pay and once they paid me I left. Was the only for profit I had worked at, took three months before I’d even look for another job. Leaving with that arbitration vindication felt wonderful though.

@CivilityFan @johncarlosbaez @watchie Oh I never got the salary adjustment. They played “so what have you actually done?” games for a year with empty promises. So I resigned. Now I’m being asked for favors, including being an adjunct because of ongoing grants 😂 I told them no and I think they were a bit shocked. I’m glad you got what was right but yeah, this shit takes a toll on you.

@tayfonay @johncarlosbaez @watchie I had the benefit of good union representation. When I told my rep that I wasn’t getting promoted, he recommended to me that I stop doing supervisor work. The message reached me in an executive safety meeting, so I got up and excused myself. The hospital safety officer saw me laving and said they would miss me, I told her to get used to it. One of the most satisfying moments of my life.
