The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. “Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.” Leonardo da Vinci - “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing.” Winston Churchill.

I recall a study written years ago that showed that most people who are changing jobs cite “higher pay” as the reason, but many of them are lying because the new jobs pay the same or even less.

Better working conditions, including escaping a “hostile work environment” is often the real reason.

I’ve worked jobs I hated even though the pay was good. The way I was treated made the pay insufficient.
