Use Your Words

HomeBy Joseph Barber. Words and phrases are powerful. If someone mentions the phrase “tenure-track” to you and you are in the middle of faculty job search that you feel isn’t going so well, then you’ll likely have a negative emotional response to this word. Someone mentions “networking,” and you may immediately feel awkward and fearful, followed by a mild sense of guilt because you think you are not doing enough of itRead more...

Asking for Help

HomeBy Nate Kreuter. Sometimes we are overwhelmed. The forces of life converge, place us in a bind, and restrict our ability to do our jobs. We’ve all watched it happen to a friend or colleague. Perhaps many of us have experienced it for ourselves. In these moments, our work life can become secondary, and probably should become secondary in many casesRead more...

Always Talk to Strangers

HomeBy Christine Kelly. I attended a conference recently and stayed at a hotel that required me to take a shuttle to get to my events. On my first shuttle ride back to the hotel I chatted with another hotel guest who was attending a different conference and also not staying at his conference hotel. We chatted about a variety of things before we got to that pivotal point where I was very glad I chose this particular hotelRead more...

Les carrières salariales dans le public et le privé : éléments de comparaison entre 1988 et 2008

Institut national de la statistique et des études économiquesPar Jeanne-Marie Daussin-Benichou, Malik Koubi, Aude Leduc et Bertrand Marc. Les carrières salariales dans les trois fonctions publiques et le secteur privé présentent des similitudes. Les salaires des moins diplômés sont plus faibles que ceux des plus diplômés et progressent moins vite. Quel que soit le diplôme, les salaires progressent plus vite en début qu'en milieu de carrière. Concernant les différences, c'est dans la fonction publique de l'État (FPE) que les moins diplômés gagnent le plus. À l'inverse, les plus diplômés sont mieux rémunérés et connaissent de meilleures progressions salariales dans le secteur privé et dans la fonction publique hospitalière (FPH). C'est également dans ces deux secteurs que l'éventail des salaires est le plus ouvert. Les écarts de salaire entre les femmes et les hommes existent dans tous les secteurs. Ils sont plus grands dans le secteur privé, notamment dans les petites entreprises, que dans la fonction publique. Ils s'accentuent avec le niveau de diplôme et l'âge. Qu'ils changent de fonction publique, passent au secteur privé ou le quittent, environ 6 % des salariés changent de secteur au moins une fois entre 30 et 45 ans, dont la moitié de manière durable. Ils sont en moyenne plus jeunes et plus diplômés que l'ensemble des salariés et cumulent plus souvent que les autres salariés, avant leur mobilité, leur activité principale avec une activité située dans un autre secteur. Le changement de secteur n'apporte pas forcément un bénéfice salarial immédiat (à un an) mais plutôt à moyen terme (à 5 ans). Télécharger le document (pdf, 183 Ko). Voir l'article...

Taking the Risk

HomeBy Melissa Dennihy. In “Too Soon?,” Cheryl E. Ball warns against going on the job market without a “(nearly) completed” dissertation. Hers is a viewpoint I have heard many times, and she raises valid concerns that A.B.D. candidates should consider. But failure isn’t the only possible outcome of going on the market while A.B.D. — taking that risk may help to propel the stagnant graduate student forward into a new phase of professional life. Read more...

The Anti-Academic’s Anti-Academic

HomeBy Charles Green. Like many academics, I’ve almost never left school. The students who occupy my mental energy most are the worst, not the best; the interactions with colleagues I recall most immediately the harshest; the department memos that curdle in my memory are those spiced with typos. Those stories, with the whiff of gossip, earn the most laughs from my colleague-friendsRead more...

No Country for Old Adjuncts

HomeBy Colleen Flaherty. Many adjuncts wonder why colleges that employ them year after year, giving them good reviews course after course, seem to have no interest in them when tenure-track jobs open up. Several legal court cases suggest that bias against adjuncts may be linked to age discriminationRead more...
