This is the third installment of my series on leaving academia. I’m going to share five  powerful, commonly accepted beliefs or assumptions that I think keep academics stuck in place. By stuck, I mean stuck in certain dysfunctional behavior patterns around work and/or stuck in difficult or toxic workplace situations.  I’ll name them so you can start considering ways to free yourself of them and putting your own needs and priorities first.
