That may be the only reason I keep my job, as the university wants the nCOVID-19 grant money. Lot of people in the hospital in the clinical departments are losing their jobs because there is a 50% drop in patient volume due to delay of nonCOVD treatments. And I thought my job was less secure than theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-11099882824063618322020-04-13T20:33:47.957-04:002020-04-13T20:33:47.957-04:00https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/4/14/harva...https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/4/14/harvard-coronavirus-hiring-salary-freeze/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-38310323010311162582020-04-13T12:40:55.612-04:002020-04-13T12:40:55.612-04:00I am another academic researcher.

I am told that I do not have my job effective 05/01/2020. The worse is that because am paid by soft grant, my university informed me that I do not qualify for severance package! I worked for nearly 11 years in academia. Just filed for unemployment. I worry for America's future and that this pandemic has upset all calculation of everyone. With 4 yeas removed from my retirement, how I wish I was in my fifties or retired. This shall too pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-50719156644992321232020-04-13T11:50:07.958-04:002020-04-13T11:50:07.958-04:00I know at least three R1s that announced an academ...I know at least three R1s that announced an academic hiring freeze. I work in one of them as a postdoc and we all received an email from our university administration regarding a hiring freeze and a salary freeze for faculty and managerial staff. My offer fell through in the beginning of February (I was on the job market). The entire situation does not look good. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
