Tenure Inspires Hard Work

See? Here's a personal anecdote which shows what you've all been guessing was true!
The Onion must be stealing material from the NEA. From the NEA web site:MYTH:
Tenured faculty don't work very hard. And when they do work they spend too much time doing meaningless research and too little time teaching.
REALITY:
SURVEYS show clearly that tenured generally publish more, serve on committees and teach more than their untenured colleagues. On average, faculty work 52 hours per week.
