    Actually the 'mentor needs to be corresponding author' might not be in accordance with best scientific practices. Quite a few countries and journals demand that all the author contributed (honorary autorship getting frowned upon)

  • "it is explicitly written in contract that mentor/advisor needs to be the corresponding author of a paper from a postdoc"---looks like private company, not a university or state funded institution. It is against the rules of good scientific practice.
