alt Hacker Newsmy postdoc advisor (a tenured professor at berkeley) made us clean the air vents in the office by standing on a tall ladder with a vacuum as well as clean the floors.
I didn't leave academia, but I did leave that lab. That's some sort of power-play I have no time for.

Please name and shame. This is atrocious. Considering the fact that most graduate students/postdocs are immigrants on specific visas, this is tantamount to fraud.
This sounds like visiting undergrad research at MIT where the grad students’ idea of a joke was to have me clean the microwave.
