Misuse of power in research. It's a huge problem in Germany.
I've observed it many times. At all institutions that I worked at.
My observations are consistent with a new documentary by @ZDF
Speak German? -> watch it: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/die-spur/diespur-metoo-machtmissbrauch-tatort-uni-102.html
Here's a post I recently wrote about misuse of power and my personal struggles with it (no connection to the documentary):

In numerical terms, this must be one of the biggest corrections ever made by a newspaper.

Powody żeby zachować rozróżnienie pisowni ⟨h⟩/⟨ch⟩:
1. W wymowie jakichś sześciu (słownie: 6) stuletnich dziadków z Podlasia faktycznie różnią się brzmieniem
2. Pozwala odróżnić zapożyczenia łacińskie od germańskich i słowiańskich (aha, no to fajnie)
3. Niesie informację, że celownik od nazwiska Sapieha to „Sapieże”, a nie „Sapiesze” (gość był seksualnym drapieżcą)
4. Pozwala odróżnić przedwcześnie zmarłego syna patriarchy Teracha od miasta, do którego on sam się przeprowadził (ok, valid)

One key on my keyboard is stuck, which makes plagiarising difficult. My partner suggested I create a text document with just this letter and copy-paste where necessary.
I did.
>>> with open('help.txt', 'w') as f:
... f.write(chr(118))
... f.close()
...
It works only if I press Ctrl+V very hard, but it works.
I now feel obligated to make the obvious joke about Twitter slipping and falling off the Kinsey scale.
(For the non-ace people around: X was used in the Kinsey Reports to indicate asexuality.)
Me: I bought a new camera and have *ONE* 50mm prime lens. That is all I need. I am not going down the rabbit hole of buying lenses.
Partner: Rolls eyes and laughs
...two months later...
Me: Well, maybe just a 35mm for some city shots.
Partner: Rolls eyes and laughs

Przyleciała pod tarpa na polanie dość słaba, to podkarmiłem. Cukier trzcinowy ok? 🐝
i think a lot about how apparently, someone visiting pink floyd's studio in the mid-70s noticed they had several minimoogs set up with gaffer tape all over them, because when they got a sound they liked, they'd put the tape over the knobs so the settings wouldn't get changed, and invoice the record label for another fresh minimoog. i think this is how you're actually supposed to manage python software installations, just buy a new computer every time you finally get the correct packages set up
Czy ja znam kogoś, kto szuka pracy jako data scjentolog w śmiesznym korpie i mieszka w Krakowie i okolicach? Praca jest hybrydowa, 40% w biurze, ale klient jest dosyć zdesperowany, więc pewnie można to negocjować. Podejrzewam, że można też wynegocjować przyzwoitą stawkę.
No i przez kilka/kilkanaście miesięcy pracowalibyście ze mną. No nie mówcie, że nie chcecie. XD
Nie znam szczegółów, nie ja rekrutuję, ale jak ktoś się zainteresuje, to mogę dopytać.
