I'm not saying these things aren't valuable in some way, it's that as a young faculty member they were overwhelming at the time I was trying to get my feet on the ground professionally.
Some chairs let their new professors flounder.
I don't buy the argument that because we had to suffer, they should as well. We bring them on board, assume they can do it all, leave them on their own, and give them no direction. Unless they are lucky enough to have a mentor, they try to figure it out by themselves and, not surprisingly, the results are not as positive as they could be. Our older colleagues need to understand that the goal posts have moved and the expectations for young faculty are different than they were twenty years ago. Senior professor need to help by picking up more of the administrative and service loads.
