That being said, anyone who doesn't want to be here (for whatever reason) should probably leave just because life is a little short to be where you don't want to be. This especially applies to those senior to me.
You know, one can be extremely ****ed off and still not be in a super hurry to leave. It may be worth sticking around until we get a contract. Anyway, we are all allowed to be pretty ****ed off and still want to stay here and improve this place
