Yeah, pretty much this, unfortunately. If when I was Subject Head only 10.51% of my section had said that I was doing a 'satisfactory' job, I'd have been unable to look them in the eye for the shame.

Things looking bleak for status quo governance on both sides of the pond. Might be time to try some new approaches to how tertiary /postsecondary /higher ed is run... 🤷🏿‍♂️
