@RonaldVisser @academicchatter well with academia. These problems are also present in non science disciplines.

Btw one may also argue that some of the expectations were misinformed by overly embellished lone scientist hero stories…

But yes, those problems are mostly real. She also was unlucky as far as what group she ended up in.

@RonaldVisser @academicchatter totally agree that it is a problem that being unlucky to end up in a toxic department does not make the existence of the toxic department OK.

by the way, now that I work in Germany I learned that in Germany this department was widely known as being toxic at that time already, so there were also mentoring issues in the sense that she was not warned what she was getting into. Very sad.
