If my topic has been posted in the past, then I apologize in advance for not finding such a thread.

I defended in December and passed with major revisions. I started my postdoc right away at another university. Thinking of terrible things that can happen, what if the committee rejects the corrections? My prof approved of the corrections already. I am a postdoc with a provisional PhD certification (will complete my PhD by such and such date). Can the committee (who hates me) simply reject my thesis and could that result in me losing my job? Seems like the job of faculty members is to make sure that students end up employed and not to take away their employment. I have contacted the dean of students with my concerns and he said to keep him posted on any new developments. Is there anything that I can do to prevent terrible things from happening?

Even if your thesis is rejected (which is unlikely) you are unlikely lose your job. Presumably you are on a lower grade anyway because you don't have your PhD yet? I know I am anyway - I won't get the higher grade until I give the department my PhD certificate. If you are on a PhD grade, maybe they would just move you down a grade?

Personally I doubt they would do anything. If I failed my PhD, my employers wouldn't know - they are not going to ask me to prove my PhD because they will have to pay me more! Your employers won't know unless you tell them maybe?

Do you have a reason to think your comittee may reject your thesis, or are you just worrying unnecessarily?

I am worrying unnecessarily, according to everyone. Maybe I was traumatized by the defense itself when one of the committee members started shouting at me. Thanks for the advice, though. As long as I do not risk losing my job, I can keep going.

The thing is that my supervisor approved of the initial submission and it was heavily criticized by committee members anyway. He approved of this second submission and I fear the same.
