Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025No 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. 14/14 000
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Recuerden 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. 13/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025@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. 12/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Señores, 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. 11/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Me 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. 10/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Unos grados que, a falta de un personal universitario que fue desalojado de sus aulas, será seguramente impartido con la colaboración público-privada, frasecita que les encanta a los gobiernos neoliberales y que tanto daño ha hecho ya en las universidades PÚBLICAS de Madrid 9/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Y mientras se mengua la presencialidad de (oh, sorpresa!) estos grados de humanidades y ciencias sociales, llenamos de titulares la prensa con los nuevos grados de (oh, sorpresa!) ingenierías. 8/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Ahora, pretenden maquillar con ‘insustancialidad’ que cientos de personas (la mayoría mujeres, por cierto) se vayan a ir a la calle, mientras que las que quedan estén saturadas de docencia fuera de sus horas estipuladas y con un alumnado que no será atendido como se merece 7/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025(algo que resulta irónico y tremendamente injusto cuando su valor en las bolsas de empleo de estos mismos puestos ronda el 30%) 6/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Ser PSI no solo supone que tu sueldo sea ínfimo mientras escuchas a tu alrededor discursitos de la excelencia universitaria, sino que encima, cuando se implantó la LOSU,@universidadjaen.bsky.social y otras universidades interpretaron que estaba prohibido que este hiciera actividad investigadora 5/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Esto que llaman “no sustancial" supone un ERE encubierto donde de nuevo pagan aquellas personas que se desviven en el aula pero que están más precarizadas, el personal laboral, en concreto, los PSI. 4/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Este reconocimiento se ha visto empañado esta misma semana cuando, en la Junta de Facultad que tuvimos el pasado viernes, descubrimos que desde consejo de gobierno en @universidadjaen.bsky.social se pretende reducir el crédito a 9h—un recorte catalogado como “modificación no sustancial” 3/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Una gran amiga me enseñó que ser PDI implica que la D va siempre antes que la I, que para que la universidad funcione y formemos un futuro mejor, primero hemos de velar por nuestro alumnado, y cuidar también así al profesorado que hace de esta institución su segundo hogar. 2/14 100
Almudena Machado-Jiménez @alstopian.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Esta semana recibí por 2ª vez el reconocimiento por Buenas Practicas Docentes el Día de La Universidad, un premio que me llena de cariño pues pone de manifiesto el respeto que siempre le he tenido a esta profesión y a la institución que me ha visto crecer, la @universidadjaen.bsky.social 1/14 151
