Letzte Woche haben wir 5 Jahre #95vsWissZeitVG gefeiert. Viel hat sich seit 2020 & besonders seit #IchBinHanna geändert, nur ein paar spezielle Quatsch-Argumente für Befristung kommen immer wieder. Damit wir sie nicht ständig von vorn widerlegen müssen, hab ich das heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss gemacht!
Vom Durchlauferhitzer und anderen Dauerbrennern: Fünf Jahre…
Zum 5. Geburtstag von #95vsWissZeitVG widme ich mich im Newsletter den wiederkehrenden Quatsch-Argumenten der Debatte -- und lege dar, warum sie Quatsch sind.
