what, where?? Around here in Germany like 20-40% seems to be the norm, although if you want a really good rate you’re advised to shoot for 50%. Sure, 0% credits do exist, but those have such predatory rates that they’re basically financial suicide.

I barely heard anything about it, except for the fact that it has something to do with rodents. Does anyone know if that includes domesticated rodents (specifically in Central Europe) and whether the virus dies when frozen? Cause I have plenty of contact with frozen rats, mice, african soft fur rats and rabbits atm.

I’m not even dyslexic but remembering which direction a letter goes in just on its own is lowkey so hard. I’d never mess it up in normal writing but ask me what direction the letter L or R goes in, and I’ll have to think for an embarrassing amount of time. Or even worse, lower case D and lower case B. I do actually mess those up if I think too hard about them. Oh and I get N confused sometimes too, but that’s just because technically Russian is my native language and the Cyrillic alphabet is all kinds of fucked up.

Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. “Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table”. I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I’m gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.

Today’s the day when too many emails end with “sadly, this is not an april fool’s joke”. Already had my fair share of them today as the coworkers are freaking out about the attack on axios (they’re a day late, but I guess I wasn’t in yesterday to alert them…)

There’s this app called Too Good To Go, where you go to a food place and just get whatever they want to give you. Much less embarrassing, but you’d still be expressing desire to get any food at all (cringe)

I’m calling AI slop on this one. Why are there beans stacked on top of the can on her head? And why do the background cans look so out of scale?

Random side tangent, my favourite coworker got fired last year. The real reason was that she was unhappy (manager has been promising a change to a team that isn’t as dogshit as mine, but not delivering on it) so her output of code was pretty low. It took a year for the company to actually go through with the firing, and since “not delivering enough output” is not a valid reason for firing someone here, they had to give “the company does not have enough money to pay for you” as a reason. They gave her 3 months of paid leave (that’s the agreed duration for notices of termination, anything less would have been illegal) and wanted her to sign something that says she’s okay with being fired. She was smart enough to not do that.
Because she could prove that the company did have enough money to pay her (they re-filled her position almost instantly) she could have sued to be re-hired. Well, she went back to the company and was like “okay, how much severance will I get to not sue you?” and she got another 15k on top of her paid leave. It was a pretty good deal. Oh, and she also got an excellent recommendation letter, because you can also sue a company if they say anything negative about you in their recommendation letters (there are lawyers specialized in finding hidden dog whistles in those letters and suing accordingly).
German worker’s rights really are pretty solid imo. My company isn’t even bound by a union, the protections are much stricter for companies that are. My husband works for a company that voluntarily follows IG Metall guidelines and he got a random 4k/year raise recently just because IG Metall adjusted their pay recommendations. And government jobs are even crazier than that, there are some where you literally cannot be fired whatever you do.

Basically any kind of employee surveillance is illegal (here in Germany) unless the employee is suspected of serious misconduct or a crime. An employer is only allowed to check whether an employee fulfills the tasks given to them, not how they spend their time at work.
I make software that other companies use and we aren’t allowed to even build any user -> activity metrics, especially not if that users boss could access them. So i.e. for Datasets, we’re only allowed to show “This Dataset was last edited by User x” and not “User x has edited the following Datasets: […]”.
Here’s a German article about some specifics. Basically these things are very explicitly illegal: Keyloggers, surveilling browser data, surveilling email or phone call contents (unless explicit consent is given) and recording any part or the employees screen or from their webcam. Surveilling an employee with AI would definitely fall into one of these categories. oh, and the fine is around 300k€ or 1-2 years in prison.I’m pretty sure other European countries have similar laws 😄

Luckily something like that is highly illegal here haha

I don’t like having the mouse actually wiggle for teams to stay active. Makes it really annoying to jump back in when you get an impromptu call and have to fiddle with things to get the wiggler back off.
There’s a program called caffeine that instead simulates a button like F15 (so one that’s unlikely to show up on a real keyboard or be mapped to do anything) being pressed once a minute, so you can just set the program to run and it will never interfere with you actually using the computer. - Comment on Im pan so anyone can apply 2 months ago:
