I am -not- in academia (so I can’t upvote), but this makes me somehow feel kinda better about myself.
Please tell me that, idk, “thoughtful” people need more time to review things (carefully), or something, and that explains this fault... Right? Hello? Is this thing on?
Sounds a lot like corporate middle management tbf.
… you get tenure?
No you exchange those emails until you get medicated.
I teach at college and work in research at university, that's how I spot witch students will end up working with us.
"Sorry, we can't offer you the job. You reply to your emails too quickly"
"Sorry, for the late response. Unfortunately, we can't offer you the job. You reply to your emails too quickly"
FTFY
How do you spot the wizard students?
Fun fact: this is also industry
Except that in industry no one gets tenure.
Thanks for your patience while I researched the details.
Yes, I'm free for a lunch meeting last Friday. See you then.
Sorry for the late response.
