    Our research institute management decided it knows better than the funding bodies, who laid out a five point plan that needed to be followed in order to keep our funding. Two of which were, make english the default work language and increase the number of foreign scientists. 10 years later, and management and senior researchers refused to implement them, so the funding body has had enough and is going to remove what will be almoat 70% of our funding. Great job you muppets!

      Hell. I feel this so hard and empathize. Admin at my former university are asking everyone to write qualitative summaries of why their programs add value to the school. Then they cut funding based on abstract metrics. The only people left are the muppets. They will be administrating themselves soon as all the professors and students will be gone.

      In solidarity, feel free to vent any time via DM.
