The Faculty of Humanities and Social Science @QMUL has announced a Voluntary Severance Scheme. Despite our requests, management gives no clarity about how much money they intend to save. But the unnecessary urgency is generating unnecessary anxiety. A little 🧵
does the faculty have a target of how many staff it needs to take up voluntary severance? Will the faculty be undertaking future reorganisation processes if there is insufficient take up on the voluntary severance scheme? is the voluntary severance scheme only open to staff from the faculty of humanities and social sciences?

Endlich Zeit ausgiebig in meinem Belegexemplar der #ZIG zu schmökern: Rainald Goetz, Bénédicte Savoy, Sigrid Boysen - so spannend war das Kleingedruckte noch nie. Von mir ist auch was dabei, über die provinzialrechtliche Vielfalt im angeblichen preußischen Ordnungsstaat.
