I was greeted by the PI, she stated she was very impressed with my credentials and would be hiring me immediately. (That should have been my first sign of her impulsiveness.) First RED FLAG!
Not sure what she was impressed with, I do not have a Bachelors or even an Associates degree. I am an average worker that technology has passed over. I took a short break in the field to raise my family and was not able to complete my previous community college courses. By the PI making this rash decision, the job was a nightmare, to say the least in the nicest possible way. My work environment was hostile and the research became unusable. Millions of research dollars were wasted!
This department boasted they are the richest department there at MD Anderson and have no regard for equipment costs.
