I have my doubts, I suspect UEB wish to be seen to be ‘strong’, whatever that may look like. But I love my Department, colleagues, students, work and ultimately the university itself. I do not want to be on strike, but unfortunately it is necessary. 5/5
Now the creep has become a flood, and some staff have done little but programmes, timetabling and assessments admin since September last year. This takes effort away from teaching and research, but perhaps more importantly - this workload transfer has been invisible. 3/?
Finally! BOOK 2 OUT SOON -- THIS AUGUST

… workload as well as doing the teaching, researching, impact and outreach that is meant to be the core of our roles. The admin creep has been happening for years, but we just get on with it to ensure the education of our students continue. 2/?
Now with the proposal to make 600+ staff redundant I genuinely cannot see how the uni can continue to function. Yet, we as academic staff are the enemy threatened with a 100% pay deduction for MAB. It’s a very sorry place to be, and I hope negotiations will resolve it quickly. 4/5
The dismantling of British education is in full flow. Makes sense. An uneducated, unhealthy & indebted population is too weak to fight back. We must confront this abomination or accept that our future is bleak. @ucu.org.uk @sheffielducu.bsky.social @uonucu.bsky.social
