Usually best not to sleep with the people in your workplace?

Apartments near my workplace cost twice as much as where I live and commute from. The office is in a concrete jungle, my apartment is in a charming neighborhood famous for high end restaurants. My friends live nearby. My landlord is the super chill old dude down the hall. Public schools where I live are as good as private schools where I work.

People's emotionally driven myopia on this topic never fails to impress me. "No point" in making such a ridiculously weak argument.

In academic publishing the normal way to handle a retraction is to flag the article as retracted, not delete it. Partly that's a legacy thing from print media (you can publish a notice of retraction but you can't un-publish a physical journal copy). But it's also about traceability; you don't get to pretend you never messed up by putting the article out in the first place.

Managers will happily make that promise. Just keep in mind that it's likely an empty one.

In my experience, people who say this kind of thing about either industry or academia have usually worked in one, but not both.
