Being Fired on Zoom By a Bunch of Neoliberal Academic Hacks
Are we all…?
Good…
Hi everyone…
Can you hear me?
Am I…?
You’re…
Ok…?
Ok…
Ok, let’s get started, shall we…?
I’m going to pass it…
You’re muted…
Dean Suchnsuch, you’re muted…
There we go…
We can hear you now…
Can you hear me…?
I swear you’d think that after all…
Ok, as you know, we’re here today…
There’s some background…
I’m hearing an echo…
Someone needs to turn off…
Can you, Dean Whatsurname, can you turn off…
Thank you…
As you know it’s been a process…
This working group has been working as a group…
And what we’ve come up with is exciting and at the same time challenging…
So today we’re here to tell you about some important…
Some changes we’re going to be making…
Important changes we’re making…
Important and difficult but necessary changes we’re going to be making…

One might say arduous steps but steps…
Steps that lead to a higher place for us all…
Lecturers and students alike…
Am I…?
You cut out there…
I what…?
You froze.
