After 10 years of being an AP in two different universities, I finally got tenured ... but mostly due to my service contribution, rather than research.
I do have one top pub though for which I am forever thankful as I honestly did not contribute much... Mostly of the work is done by my three other coauthors.
I am aware of other colleagues who worked much harder than me yet still failed to get tenured. And I know that they are bitching about me.
What should I do? Should I start my hard work on research now?
