Dear PI s, and senior scientists' involved in recruitment, Why do so many (especially postdoc) positions these days indicate:
> Readiness for high workload > able to work independently but also effectively and collaboratively with > other lab member > Candidates should have a documented publication record in peer-reviewed > journals, able to work both independently and as an effective team member. Do the candidates need to subtly understand that they need to work on weekends or holidays? And what does it mean by independently and collaboratively at the same time. Or is this a template from HR departments. Was it always like this in science world or we too need to work like amazon warehouse workers (you can google it and see the pain)? Saddened...
