People should refer to facts before commenting. Dieter in the past 3-4 years had 2 GEBs, one JET and one IJGT.
Dieter is a nice guy. But to be fair stopped working 10+ years ago.
Insider here: many people left. Kelsey is moving, Balkenborg forced to retire, a junior micro person left..
We were enjoying our time with the HOD away.... but... come january..... she will be back again.... good days are getting overHi Dieter! How is retirement treating you?
I have known Dieter for long. Knowing what kind of person he is, he would be the last person to troll here
Another insider here. Exeter Bus Sch has perhaps the most toxic work environment created by the current Dean. (Prof of Strategy but has a Ph.D. about an American musician!). Under him, the place has become venal and corrupt; you will face arbitrary changes to teaching loads and worked till you are forced to leave-especially if your face fits. He has packed it with individuals from his previous School. It is a pity how the place is being systematically ruined due to one man's incompetence and shallowness.A complete clown!
Juniors should think twice before joining this department. First, it seems the HOD will not leave in the near future. Recent tenure decisions show lot of inconsistency. A person with a decent publication and R&R's in GEB or EER is pushed to a teaching contract, but other people who have been promoted recently (except for a young experimental guy...who by the way is very good ) do not have comparable CVs with Senior lecturers at similar place across the country. This is fact...and all of this is in the public domain

One ET in 5 years no good.

Leadership Quarterly for the WIN!
You are wrong on this. You do know that the HOD agreed to those hires, right? Would the HOD agree to hire someone that the HOD may not like?
And our HOD will be back again in Jan. I feel sorry for those juniors who will join the department. They anyway have no choice, as they need a job.
Exeter econ is one of the most aggressive departments in the UK.
Most (if not all) of the juinors who are recently hired will not make it. They will be either bullied until they leave or will be forced to work as a teaching fellow.

cannot agree more. Well you can get good treatment if you are close to or a student of the editor of a journal where the HOD would potentially like to publish.
