My ass of a supervisor threw yet another bomb my way.

He basically said I would fire you if I could, but I don't have a valid reason, however I will not give a good grade for your dissertation because you don't do exactly what I told you. (not exact words, that was just the gist)

So I need to start looking for a new supervisor and a new department. He is not letting or helping me grow. I can't be under this fucking much stress, do this much fucking work and stay sane.

Gonna go cry now. Bye.

    Did he for real do a "know your limits" thing? I didn't know people like that existed anymore.

    Because why did you think you were allowed to think by yourself? Dumb you. That's not what science is about.

    Maybe talk to his boss?

    @MammaNeedHummus sound advice, but that wouldn't make things better. Nobody can make him be fair to me and my dissertation.

    This is exactly the kind of academia shit why I refused two offers for getting a PhD.

    Academia is more viscious than the industry because there's nothing at stake at uni - no profits going down.

    @MammaNeedHummus yes, but I'll loose 2 years worth of work and have to start over somewhere else.

    "because you don't do exactly what I told you" wow, that's...not how PhD is supposed to work. It seriously sucks when your advisor is not on your side. Are you able to switch to a different advisor in the same dept?

    Btw, what does it mean to get a poor grade on your dissertation? Mine is just a binary pass/fail, and I've never heard of anyone caring about grades on a PhD resume.

    @RememberMe usually they don't care about a grade, but if you want to apply for professorship, it helps.

    But I'm not fine with any of this situation this man has created. I will hopefully find another position and just leave before my mental health sinks enough that I do the unmentionable just out of spite. My bestfriend is doing their best to keep me sane and I probably can never repay the time and effort they've wasted on me in the last few weeks.

    There has been update on the situation btw. I've uncovered that one jealous thundercunt I thought of as friend has been talking shit about me.

    I'm still not cool with the sup tho, for actually buying it.
