      who signs an email with “first supervisor”?

        it could be an internal organizational title, but it definitely doesn’t sound like an academic position and not a part of a normal email signature either

          Just to muddy the waters, I worked with a guy who had “system administrator level XII” in his email signature and one of the teammates asked him about it. His response was that he just put that in to see if anyone noticed and occasionally bumps the number up when he feels like it’s about time to do so.

          So you never know when someone stuck a private joke into their email signature like that. Heck when I was brought back to my role I was never given a clear job title so I just put the most accurate job title I could think of in my signature of “IT Contractor”

      Wait but… is that actually a thing in Kenya? I only have heard first hand accounts of school systems in a handful of countries in Africa (not Kenya, mostly west side) but consistently I’ve been shocked by either the severity of punishment for basically any form of failure or dishonor or for the prevalence of fear as the administrative motivator-of-choice. (One was just a few months ago I think in c/offmychest where a high schooler was describing their beatings for tardiness, bad grades, and other minor infractions. I think I commented on it.) Maybe they’re for real?

      ETA: a bunch of them were from my calc I and calc III professors who were both from (different) African countries but regaled us with stories of the brutality so we knew how good we had it lol (they were good teachers, just a little unhinged, as some math educators are).

    26% isn’t concerning to anyone with a brain unless you’re doing some real novel shit. That moronic program will toss that out for citing a title.

      For example, Turnitin is known to flag scripts and code a lot because of all the boilerplate.
