I received a death threat one time after rejecting a paper at TAR. Not sure how the authors figured out I was the reviewer, but they did. Had to hire a PI and security for a few months. No joke.a good reminder not to be a dick.
the damage was done, even he accepts hes a d!ck or her a cu/nt.
they are made like this since conception (during and after their accounting phd program), and Im talking glorified RAs. Their mediocrity becomes much more evident when they see their peers get the 1st paper accepted so they decide to revenge and reject all papers they review.

Bad accounting DNA!

Why are accounting academics so terrible to each other? Seriously, skim this thread and you'll get introduced to the type of acc academics frequenting EJMR. Compare to the marketing job market thread for comparison.
Why are they so terrible to each other? They are among the highest paid at business schools. From what I understand it's pretty easy to land a job in academia with even a low ranked phd. Even at teaching schools they get paid what other disciplines get at better research schools.
Why so much hate? A unique form of EJMR self selection? I seriously don't get it.
Short answer: Cheanks
I have struggled financially so much to the point I had to work to maintain my family. My school is a cesspool.Mine too, red state school.
List those schools so that we know.
I know a couple of people from last year at the south east meeting and we were all surprised she said she got an amount 15k less than my university (yearly).
They are made like this since conception (their 1st day in the phd program).
They are educated like this:
1 - You wont get to a decent school because thats for top school students, either admission to the program or placement if you get a job.
2 - You will get the paper rejected because there is no room in the journal for your name and there is nothing you can do. The school of the chief editor will have most of the papers accepted.
3 - You will be asked to have two summer papers and you will need to collect the data and work the paper with your advisor, program director and dep head.
4 - You are not allowed to complain about your school, even after your program otherwise you wont publish and wont get tenure. This is why people do not speak openly and use this forum to express their views.
Accounting faculty nationally are beginning to speak out about a huge issue facing the accounting profession - the very low starting salaries in public accounting.
In this vein, I shared the message below with my Kennesaw State colleagues last month. I hope that the leadership of the large accounting firms is listening, as our discipline clearly is in crisis and needs much more attractive compensation to attract and retain talent.
"I am just back from AAA [the American Accounting Association Annual Meeting], and I have never been to an Annual Meeting with such a singular, unofficial “theme” that dominated so many conversations and sessions. Almost universally, people said that their accounting enrollments are down, in many cases way down. Some Master’s programs in accounting and/or tax are getting crushed. And, we know that the number of people taking the CPA exam continues to fall.
The underlying issue is that, in terms of starting pay, accounting has become the lowest-paid major in the business school. On a per hour basis, accounting is even farther behind. It’s tough for many faculty to sell the accounting major with a pitch of, “Stay in school an extra year, take a hard exam, make less money, and work long hours.” Sign me up!
Many good students are majoring in IS or finance instead of accounting and starting for significantly more than what the Big 4 pay MAcc graduates...Further, efforts to highlight the attractiveness of future compensation levels in accounting (e.g., partner, CFO) are not very persuasive to 21 year olds focused on student debt and near-term compensation.
Overall, there was a strong sense among the faculty attendees at AAA that we are in crisis as an academic discipline and that the Big 4 in particular don’t “get it” and are essentially wrecking the profession through their refusal to pay decent salaries to their junior accounting employees..."
