I agree 100% but also - real talk - it doesn't feel like there is/will be this discount now. Despite being granted a 1-year automatic tenure extension. Despite all the "wellness" emails from leadership. I'm still working full-tilt on grant applications (nearly all COVID-related), https://twitter.com/ProfMattFox/status/1254745402655625216

advising students (esp. masters students who don't get an extension), papers (for grants that need to be 'productive' to be refunded)...

how does this grace actually play out in practice?

Not looking for advice/sympathy. And my colleagues are great. Just thinking aloud.
