I gave my two weeks notice to the Superior Professor today, to no discernible reaction.
In the course of a conversation a little later, it came to light that she thought I might not ever come back, that my one sick day might just be extended indefinitely. That illustrates our working relationship, that she assumes/suspects I would just walk without so much as logging out of my computer or saying a word to anyone. Obviously, someone with guaranteed lifetime employment, as she frequently describes her situation, doesn’t understand the basic rituals or protocols of how people leave their jobs. Given the bad faith I have seen so far, this shouldn’t surprise me.
