Hey there - so I am in a somewhat difficult spot...
I haven't had a stellar supervision throughout my PhD, but despite this submitted my PhD thesis, had it accepted by both reviewers and had a wonderful defense with loads of compliments by the entire examination board. I am basically done.
Where I am doing my PhD, we have to "revise" our thesis after all of this, and get a final signature of the first referee (who is NOT my supervisor) that our revision is the same as the thesis that was accepted. Revision is honestly only for formatting, and fixing spelling mistakes etc. We need it so that our thesis can be published and gets its DOI.
Now my supervisor was expecting me to work free of charge on all remaining publications (I do not have a contract anymore) and is trying to withold his agreement that the actual first referee wants to have before my revision is signed by said first referee.
He basically wants me to continue working until he is satisfied with all remaining publications before my thesis gets published. I view this as extortion and flat-out refused.
Specifically, I refused to any further work on my publication (in which I am the only author apart from him) and withhold my already written work until I have my revision accepted so I can publish my already graded and accepted (!) thesis and get to actually carry my PhD title.
A semi rant, but also a penny for your thoughts guys...
