| May 25, 2022 at 4:14 | comment | added | EarlGrey | @Schmuddi please read the update from OP. And please wake up, there is an horrible world outside the western world (and in the western world it is already rather ugly, see famous scandals in the US, such as Marc Hauser, wihtout forgetting the large hidden numbers, as per in the Netherlands nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02035-2 where aggressive practices imported from abroad conflates with local bad practices...) | |
| May 24, 2022 at 17:06 | comment | added | Schmuddi | I think I can properly read OP post, thank you very much. I don't think that this subtle ad hominem was very productive for this conversation, so let's be blunt: You claim that you have enough information to be certain that the OP comes from a culture in which talking about unethical practices as the consequence of unrealistic expectations is "just empty words". I consider this claim presumptuous and unacceptable for academic discourse. | |
| May 24, 2022 at 16:59 | comment | added | EarlGrey | @Schmuddi it is not an assumption: unless you cannot properly read OP post, it is obvious OP is pursuing a PhD in a non-western country. For such cases, even in your unnamed german-speaking country a supervisor can find the money, maybe formally transferring you to a research institute nearby outide of the university and the like. | |
| May 24, 2022 at 16:58 | comment | added | Schmuddi | In my country, there are multiple ways where one can do a PhD without receiving funding from the supervisor, and there are circumstances in which it would be legally impossible for supervisors to provide funding beyond a particular point. Without knowing anything about the system in which the OP is working, I think it's not helpful to claim that the supervisor "must provide" funds for three additional years (and while I'm at it: the parenthetical at the end of the first paragraph makes assumptions about the OP's culture which I find a bit... problematic to be honest). | |
