Group work is really nice when you're working with intelligent, competent and reliable people. I have worked in amazing groups before and sometimes, I really miss it.

But I absolutely hate when I am forced to work on a project with unmotivated colleagues that do their bare minimum and use ChatGPT for everything. In my last job I was often fixing or doing their work, increasing my own workload.

At the moment, I am working alone and remote. I'm getting loads of shit done and I can finally breathe. Sometimes I wish I had at least one competent colleague again, though. But times are tough and good employees cost money...

I'm sure most of the Germans will continue using their illegal adblockers. This ruling is ridiculous.

it was pretty clear that these apps were dogshit designed to steal information while keeping you engaged with bots

They haven't always been, though. I remember the good old times of okcupid - they had a system of interests you could enter and then they linked those interests to all of the users in their database. It was so effective to find people listening to the same music, playing the same games...

They removed the whole thing after they got bought out, removing one of the biggest features that made the platform unique. It explains why there are still a lot of people around recommending platforms like Tinder and okcupid, they remember their positive experiences and maybe even found a partner. But those times are long over.

The worst enshittification is making male people pay for replying to messages. That is just vile.

Yeah that's more human-readable, but not easily sortable.

"This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy."
I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn't have Fridays off, so that was a lie.

One of the first things my new boss did was to cancel the daily standup meetings that were enforced by the previous management. God, what a great decision. I'm finally getting shit done instead of having to talk and endure bullshit every day.

Two of my coworkers in their early 20's got it. One of them didn't make it. It's so fucking sad...

Im only just now getting into TikTok

Please don't, for your own health's sake. There is nothing of value on that platform.

Und ich so: "Heute um 14 Uhr läuft ein geiler Film im Kino, ich bin nachher mal für zwei Stunden weg."

Gleitzeit ist so schön.
