"As a graduate student, your boss is usually the administration more than the professor"

This is important to note. I have very little control over how much my students are paid, their benefits, their course load, etc.

And, for the record, I do care if my students are overworked. Burnt out students produce shitty science.

Good point and apologies for the slight. I suppose a better way of putting it is that faculty are often ignorant of their students' issues / difficulties due to their busy schedules.
