Adjunct/Part-Timer: What are the things you wish you can tell your full-timer?
I’ve been an adjunct for a decade (insane!) and I had to deal with some clownishly evil full-timers and my favorite, the two-faced corrupt full-timers.
There’s some really competent ones who treat us like humans of course but they’re never in our track/department! Or they retired and left you with an uncommunicative person who has a reputation to discriminate against certain marginalized groups you happen to be a part of. Fun!
What are the things you wish you can tell your full-timer?
Bonus! Any encouragement for our adjuncts would be wonderful.
Maybe here, we can send them a message that we’re not your toys nor your stand-ins.
***There’s a handful of sociopaths below. Proof of how purposely disconnected some full-timers can be.
Give love to the good ones we need more of them!***
