Hi all,
I am very disappointed and I'm under a huge pressure which makes me not concentrate on my work. This is because the extreme and bad supervision I have received during the last two years. I have two supervisors (first and second), but practically I have two (first) supervisors. This is because every one of them treat me as he is the only one supervise me. They both very criticise about every thing and they never say something good for my work (always receive very harsh feedback!). I hate our meeting because it seems for me as a de-motivated rather than supportive. There are many implicit contradiction between them (e.g. the second more closer to my subject and when we make some assumptions and have agreed about something, later on when I met the first (who is not interest in my subject) he said this is unrealistic and I wouldn't accept that:-(). To be honest, I'm getting lose my confidence daya after day!.
Anyway, I have started seriously to think about stopping my PhD with current supervisors and think to move to another supervisor in another university. I'm very hesitated to talk frankly with my current supervisors about the bad situation they put me in. The first insist to be involved and be the leader in the project (even it is not his own interest). This team of supervision has been suggested by the department and I'm really in cross of road .... either to move or to continue even I'm not optimistic because we all lose the confidence in each other (me and supervisors:-().
I feel that moving to a new supervisor may be better than contiunue with the current group of supervisors!
Thanks
