| Jul 3, 2019 at 16:53 | comment | added | Rimelius | @Jesko Huttenhain thank you , you completely understood the perspective I tried to put: there is really no "good" or "bad" answer or attitude, just a variety of possible reactions. Some decide to give up, some decide to go on and accept that it will be a temporary stage of suffering, hopefully leading to something better once the supervisor will belong to the past... | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 15:36 | comment | added | Rimelius | @user110394 what i try to explain in my post and that you seem to have missed, is that, unlike the many other posts above that say "red flag 1" "red flag 2" "red flag 3" "run" etc, there is another option: stick to the PhD, and survive it. It will blast you, but afterwards you will be proud of what will have been a genuine accomplishment. | |

However, I think you'll agree that it shows that you're not alone in facing such malicious advisors. This kind of people are not worth working with if you can help it, so start looking high and low for escape routes, without telling anyone anything until you have already gotten a job or a different research position preferably in a different university. All you need to tell them (just before you disappear) is "Bye". | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 14:43 | comment | added | Jesko Hüttenhain | I feel that there is no correct advice to give here, and we are explaining this by sharing our vastly different approaches to a very difficult life decision. The OP will ultimately have to judge which of these approaches fits his personality and personal circumstances best. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 13:54 | comment | added | user110394 | So, what do you suggest? Staying there no matter what (even if it means being "destroyed")? | |
