A fellow #postdoc said she'd **Never** publish in Elsevier or MPDI even with waived APCs. She'd rather leave her work as a #preprint in perpetuity than publish with them. It got me wondering:

1. Do other #academics follow similar publishing embargoes?

2. Can such individual actions impact these publishing giants in any meaningful way?

University Workshop Encourages Early Career Academics to Have a Side Hustle Due to Insufficient Salaries : r/academia Nov 2024

"they’re aware of how poorly they’re paying us, yet instead of addressing it directly, they suggest we overwork ourselves even more."

Recently I attended a workshop at my university—a R1 institution—and one of the main points discussed was how early career academics should consider having a side hustle to make ends meet because our salaries are just not enough. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The fact that they acknowledged this as if it’s normal—encouraging us to take on additional work just to get by—felt absolutely disgusting. This is academia admitting that they’re aware of how poorly they’re paying us, yet instead of addressing it directly, they suggest we overwork ourselves even more. How is it acceptable that we’re expected to juggle research, teaching, publishing, service responsibilities, and now an additional job on top of that? This just seems so far removed from what academia is supposed to be about. I’d love to hear if others have experienced similar conversations at their institutions.
