Mentioning the country is really important for these kind of anecdotal posts

At my previous company, they started forcing us to go back to the office, first once per week, then at least 8 days per month. I hated it but I could take it. Then, they said they had to replace our workstations with an SOE Laptop (some standard hardware and software configuration that is usually completely locked down, and you need to open a ticket to install anything). I hated this more, but I could still take it.

The last straw that made me quit was that my boss forced me to work on a project using a dead technology only because there was no one else that could do it. But I had absolutely zero experience with that technology. I was the only one who knew how to build a good user interface, so that's why the task fell on my lap.

My bank requires your password to contain NO vowels. I always forget when I update the password (forced to every 3 months) and the error never mentions it.

This feels kind of surreal. I did once meet somebody like this and they seemed to be on a completely different level to everyone else I've met.

I'm a software dev in Germany and have always discussed salaries pre tax. And when I was looking for jobs in other european countries, the salaries were also discussed pre tax
