At the heart of problems like this can be the issue of identity: who am I, what am I worth, what do I do? For many of us in academia, what we do and what we achieve are strong parts of who we think we are. Our jobs define personal identities and self-esteem far more than, say, serving in a bar for a while. When our job is imperiled it can feel like an attack on self. All I suggest (and this is only partial) is to think deeply about self as separate from job. Self will remain with you for ever; job is transitory. | |

| Oct 21, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | Landak | I guess the thing that is different is that academic progress is tied so much to your ideas and your (group)'s place in the field – it is different to a general workplace in that the university doesn't have another "me" who can directly take my place and replicate my ideas; and similarly failing to publish a scientific story at the right time could lead to you getting scooped. I'd be interested in a discussion about these aspects, as well of the practical ones – I used to use a wet lab occasionally, for example; now I'm not sure I can safely. | |
