@Mackem beefy and bewildered...Thanks a lot for understanding my position and posting a sensible advice. Yes he acts God like and i have got really good prior research experience and i have good referees. Like Mackem suggested, i am keeping my head down..so far i have been giving good results and i am fine..he even mailed me that he is fortunate to have me in the lab..but i am sure the next second, when i dont have good results, he would not hesitate to fire me..

Yes i have got my visa under the category of special employee..well i am paid lesser than what an actual PhD student is paid..Though my working hours is from 9 to 5, thats just for namesake..And reading scientific journals and attending lectures is considered waste of time in the lab..I am looking for various positions..

I have a good prior lab research experience ...A good CV and good recos..Waiting to share the news that i got my phd in a good lab in the forum..cos i love to do a phd..

Hi all.. joined my PhD in europe recently. It has been 3 months since i joined the lab..My welcoming word by a lady..in the lab, was that i should be careful because our professor fires people like on daily basis. Only then i came to know, i am not in a structured PhD programme and that my professor actually hadnt even read the resume i sent him..He just hires students, make them work and if he is not satisfied he fires them immediately, like whenever he wishes.

Now since i am here, i have been giving good results but i am constantly worried that he might fire me anytime soon..I really want to work under a supervisor in a regular PhD programme. What should i do at this stage..i really want to leave this lab, cos the thought of getting fired is really scary..Since i came here he fired 2 people..one for getting pregnant, though she had good results, another lady was fired becos she didnt have pleasing manners...
