I just reallise that my supervisor never even asked about my graduation.

Not whether i was going or not, if I wanted them to come etc.

So that's something.

How come those with the permenant jobs have no repucussions for doing them badly?

Whilst those whose lives are dysrupted just have to suck it up and move on?

All I got from my department was a "I'm sorry about the news", and that as when I just happened to pass one person in the street.

No advocates, nobody to fight to see where things went wrong.

Cos, ultimately, how can one know they're underperforming if they're not told so nor shown *how* to do better to reach the bar?

Not really an acceptable response or system, is it?

How can people possibly better present themselves if they don't learn what their shortcomings were?

What an awful culture we have.
