The Tenure Take-Back

The job is not just “you do X” – it is “you do X for Y dollars” – you change either X or Y, and the job has changed.

So, asking for less hours is a difference, asking for more money is a difference, asking to take maternity leave is a difference.

Negotiating is about changing the job.

@s2redux yeah, you’re off a bit. She had interviewed and received an offer – she was negotiating. As much venom has been spewed at Nazareth, had they actually offered a job to someone not brought in for an interview, they’d probably be laughed off campus. Which is a bit of a mixed metaphor, given that Nazareth is the campus, too. Hrm.
