Attitude, You Got Some Fucking Attitude

One of the most infuriating tropes that comes up again and again when you complain about the job market is this line about how you'll never get a tenure track job with an attitude like that. No one would ever hire anyone with such a bad attitude. But if the discussion of the last week or so has demonstrated anything, it's that it is totally possible to get a tenure track job while having the shittiest of attitudes. Small point, but I felt it was worth making. Now we can all shut up forever about our attitudes about stuff.
