   All im saying with this is PIs have options - split it up, share the work, share the glory, make ur lab a coop

     you know if I'm gonna be honest our PI actually has no business at all with the lab. She's busy running the department and her own clinic.

     I handle all clerical and financial duties, post doc handles grant writing, and we both handle mouse husbandry. There's only 3 of us in this lab besides the PI, me, grant writing post doc, and one other post doc. This is on top of research projects. We all do our duties bc, well, jobs are hard to come by here and no one wants to get blacklisted.

     Yeah its rough, he's also responsible for training me and like 2 different projects.

     Anyways ik my original comment was off-topic but man am I glad I found your post bc I completely forgot PIs usually write grants. Also had no clue that it wasn't normal to make one person write all the grants.

     Ok yes that is not what I mean and that sounds extremely abusive. Key words "makes" and "one"

     @jonny I feel like maybe our lab is doing something wrong because my PI makes this one post doc write and apply for ALL the grants and oh boy is he really stressed 24/7 because of it.
