Uni staff told to 'wash delicates' for stress management as 146 courses suspended
In short:
The University of Technology Sydney says it needs to cut 400 jobs, roughly 10 per cent of the workforce, as part of a cost-cutting initiative to save $100 million.
After ABC News revealed high levels of psychological distress among staff facing the axe, UTS rolled out advice to support their wellbeing.
Staff say the health advice, which includes making time to wash delicates and brush their teeth, "de-legitimised" their concerns.
Straight up hatred of working people.
Edit: Fucking hell:
Hey schmoes! I know you all have advanced degrees in complex fields of study, but we're going to fire a bunch of you so we can save some cash, so maybe calm down and go wash yer fuckin drawers or somethin.
