Mathemagenic just posted on her beginnings at Microsoft, where she is Walking on Ice trying to figure out which rules are bendable and which risks worth taking. The censure I've received from various folks at school has been at the social level more than the professional level - although it may come out against me at some future/potential employment site. Because it's an academic institution there are more protections for me (I have assumed, going on what has/hasn't been said to me) on the basis of the right to intellectual freedom/free speech.
The problem with the social level is that persistence is taken as aggression . . .
