Feeling some schadenfreude today. some of the NTT faculty that thought they could petition HR for acknowledgement of the fact they they do full TT work got not only denied, but smacked down to my (CS) level. As if HR wasn't where bureaucratic sadists go to indulge themselves with the devil's own approval.
And while it's a shitty move by HR, abetted by the spinelessness of our lovely Admin, it's not like they're getting CS pay with their new classification. They still make double what I do easily. They still treated CS like bottomfeeders they way TT did. My ability to empathize is somewhat tempered.
