I was subject to a no-grounds eviction from my #NSW #rental property about 8 weeks ago.
After 7.5 years in my property - never missing a payment or asking for a reduction during COVID - I was given 30d to get out.
But what I do know is 50% of the light fixtures in the unit didn't work, despite multiple requests for assistance.
The heat didn't work for a full 6mo during winter.
The home was subject to massive water damage from persistent leaks

Here's a balanced thread on #academia vs #industry from the perspective of someone who has held senior positions in both. I'm going to write this thread because a lot of what I read here reduces to "my tribe is better than yours" or "grass is always greener".

The academic trade is fundamentally freedom for money.
As a Sr #academic you barely have a boss and really get to determine which of millions of options you can pursue. New intl grants? More policy engagement? Acad leadership? Media? Translational research? All up to you.
