    Don't worry about this, I have a peer who has changed two supervisors. At the end, at the third supervisor, he found his way into an experimental physics group, and has enough strong publications(Physical Review Letters) to defend the thesis and to advance his career.

    professor goes to sabbatical on a regular basis and does not skype with his students -- Bad. -- replies to emails from students in 5 minutes -- So he needs a life. -- does not help students with their coursework -- Good! -- expects students to comment on his research work -- Good! -- expects students to be independent -- Excellent! What is this about not caring for his students?

  • There is no standard operating procedure for the group set-up you described. Why don't you have a chat with B? B is the element in common here between (A, B) and (B, C). As Nicole said, don't complain or refer to rumors or reputation, just show an interest in a specific project or set of projects. Commented May 18, 2017 at 18:26
