🔺EXCLUSIVE: Memos fired off by the monarch to correct grammar and demand single flowers be moved are wrecking morale among staff who are paid as little as minimum wage ⬇️
There's a widespread assumption academics are in an ivory tower/bubble where they aren't friends with those outside. Maybe some but we live in the world. Could be elitism from a different era or lack of time now. The latter as many are stretched & precarious public sector workers
Unsolicited advice for incoming PhD students: Maintain your friendships with people who aren't academics
