They were lucky ? to not have consensus issues , but don ' t think they don ' t have bugs ' m sure everyone is doing their best ! <| sep |> Stop getting fixed on only one part of the post <| sep |> Or maybe they didn ' t want to post a photo of their kid on their main account because that one is private . <| sep |> Get out of my house . <| sep |> I wouldn ' t , because , you know , I ' m not a gaping asshole . <| sep |> In keeping with Thanksgiving tradition I will say that I am very thankful for every opportunity that I have had in the field of science . With that being said , I have had a horrendous PI before though . He absolutely refused to let me use filtered pipette tips for anything and then would absolutely tear into me whenever there was a contamination of a sample . He ' d tear into me for not taking initiative but then when I would he would tear into me for taking initiative . He would tear into me for asking him questions but then would tear into me for thinking that I knew what he meant and doing exactly what he told me to do and not knowing what he was thinking after all . I wound up getting berated and yelled at for taking too long to do an experiment that I had never done before , an experiment that everyone else in the department says takes pretty much the whole day to do and he didn ' t even let me start it until halfway through the day . He disappeared for the entire day and came back just in time to just yell at me and leave . The next time he had me do it he actually left for half of the day to go to a party for a coworker . He blamed me for various contamination issues even though his experiments were having contamination issues long before I ever even got there and the hood he was using was absolutely filthy . I decided to take apart the hood he had been using and clean it and found things growing EVERYWHERE . The PCR ' s he had me do he had designed primers for that were HIGHLY susceptible to primerdimer formation and he would turn around and absolutely tear me a new one for PCR ' s and qPCR ' s not working well . I once got torn a new one for simply asking him where the something was located in the lab . By far the worst experience I have ever had in a lab . I had never had any issues doing PCR or running gels until I started working there . He didn ' t treat anyone else like this . I feel like I was totally being bullied in that lab .
