OMG. OMG. OMG. I know large institutions are huge clusterfucks when it comes to communication and tact, but OMG. That takes the cake, the fork, the candles, and all the party decorations.
If I could go beat someone up for you, I would. Seriously.
If the grad students weren't working so hard with all their outrage and actions to try to save my job I would absolutely be going to that ceremony just so I could make The Biggest Scene. But I don't want to torpedo the .0001% chance that they might be able to make a difference.
Believe me, my inner drama queen is dying at the missed opportunity.
...Also, with enough glibness, you can definitely passive-aggressive your way around that. "So good to feel appreciated here! I know I've given much of my time and effort to this institution! Your recognition means so much to me!"
My last day is May 24. It wouldn't surprise me (nothing would surprise me tbh) if they pulled something out of their ass that morning.
I wish the powers that be were sensitive enough to even notice passive-aggressiveness. As it is, I don't want to give them the satisfaction of my being there if I can't outright expose them for a sham.
That gif gives me major pants feels, though, thank you.
I think there might be something in the works? They're wisely keeping me out of the loop, though, so nobody can blame me for inciting a riot or something.
