  • When I come to office (one day per week), I come to have a great time with colleagues. No one forces me, I can work fully remote, it’s just nice to have colleagues around. We go for a vape, for a lunch, for a walk. Good times. Ohh, and also few meetings that day, since I live ~150km away from office lol.

    I openly say in office that I can’t work from office. Basically socializing and that’s it. Productivity almost zero.

    While on the other hand, working from home is where I shine. I can fully focus on my scripting/coding/automation stuff.



  • Left after 2.5 months in a company, had 2 weeks annual leave before leaving on day 1 after returning.

    That’s IT job and it was in large multinational company. I won’t name the company, because it was team’s issue, not a company’s issue. Also the company moved out of the country so it’s in the past anyway.

    Basically manager was on power trip - think of “everyone sucks except me”, or “I don’t have time for this shit” sort of thinking. One moment “hey my best friend!!!” sort of behavior, another moment treats you like shit with almost being passive aggressive all the time. Few examples what happened:

    • “We’ve already agrees on this” and “we already discussed this” or “you need to understand what sort of answer you expect before asking”. These were the answers most of the time to my qiestions.
    • Can say “fuck you” in front of colleagues. Yet some of the colleagues tolerated it. 🤷
    • Blames you for a minor reason. Treats like shit.

    During the annual leave, when there was around week left, I started having annexiety/panic attacks. Wake up in the morning with high heart rate, stresses, that I have to returnt to work in several days. I realised that I have to leave this job, just fuck it.

    Luckily, through friends, I found another job few days later. It’s been MAJOR upgrade, felt amazing and valued.

    Fuck that ex-manager in particular. I know where he works now, and I will never apply to that company at the same time he works there. 🖕




  • Google Pixel is no-brainer choice. Any pixel from 7th gen.

    GrapheneOS is kind of nice if you don’t hate setting everything up, but for example, Google Wallet does not work on it. Camera is somewhat trash. Myself I did not like it due to camera and google wallet functionality.

    Ex-OnePlus user. Their software is buggy and shit. OnePlus used to be amazing but not anymore.

    Mobile market sucks in terms of competition tbh… All 3rd party ROMs like LineageOS are usually bloated with bugs there and there. Wouldn’t recommend!
