In the quoted email from 2023, harassing other staff by exposing managerial incompetence and corruption, I lowball estimates for the ND population in line with the habit of minimising failure that seemed the norm in a work environment where you spend all of your days walking on eggshells . . . . and complaining to department higher-ups about not even being able to wear a ring of garlic cloves around your neck when you come into work because all the meetings are done on teams.
The DLAU said likely as many as 1000 at the start of 2023; they know exactly what they’re doing. Does it even matter whether it’s 600 or a thousand considering every one is at risk of withdrawing from their course from burnout and sheer torment?
