No hablamos de porcentajes, ni cómputos, hablamos de compañeres que vienen cada día a su puesto de trabajo con mucho primor y esfuerzo, y que al llegar a casa les espera una familia. Cuiden de su gente de una vez, @universidadjaen.bsky.social. 14/14

Recuerden ustedes en el consejo de gobierno de mañana en la @universidadjaen.bsky.social que mi Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación votó por unanimidad que NO a esta reducción de horas por crédito. 13/14

@universidadjaen.bsky.social, de nada vale figurar en las fotos con sindicatos si luego entiendan los escritos se ponen estas zancadillas. Ojalá entendáis que estamos jugando con las cosas del comer. 12/14

Señores, yo no quiero un diploma que me diga que buena profesora soy, yo quiero que se dignifique y se HUMANICE esta profesión: que se den unas condiciones justas, que no nos tomen por idiotas, que no importan los Q1 ni los rankings de @universidadjaen.bsky.social si no queda el sentir humano. 11/14

Me parece vergonzoso que mientras de cara al mundo celebramos la excelencia de la @universidadjaen.bsky.social, vamos por detrás pisando las libertades de las que con mucho sudor buscan el día de mañana hacerse un camino en esta institución. 10/14
