I’m definitively hoping with you. But this ain’t a good news :-/

I’m not familiar enough with the gaming industry but ego is a bitch at c-level pretty much everywhere. To what extent will EVERYONE with enough influence want their bonus ? Or will they chose fuckery…

They were the shareholders weren’t they? The IP literally belongs to them. At this stage the community can write it off. I agree with you that there should be some form of deterrent so that others companies are not pulling the same crap.

Zero chance this end well. Once you overstay your welcome you leave or you take down the product in large orgs. Too much opportunity for fuckery at that level.

Now if this piece of regulation passes what’s preventing your government from allowing full blown rollout of ai based fines system using camera networks for example ? This crap lowers the bar in terms of human validation a whole lot.

They don’t provide you any equipment ? Then good. It’s very typical for them to do so.

Heyyyyy at least they failed fast :)

On top of client VPNs you might consider the possible other freebies from yr ISP such as router, WiFi access points and other network elements they provide you with. Set-op-boxes as well. All those equipments are absolutely ratting you as much as possible. Also any software including mobile apps they provide for support / billing / whatever.

True for hackers… Somehow it started my career… but snow crash feels a bit like Uber-gig which isn’t what I would look forward to.

As a 80s kid I don’t recall being hyped. If anything all sci-fi books were warnings for us. Younger generations embraced the black mirror shit thought.

No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….

Yeah I could NEVER ask for any of that. I’m in a critical infrastructure industry but not healthcare though.

You sure they are not bullshitting you instead of admitting they can’t proceed with you for some reason?

Damn. I’m not familiar with their specifics. Still generally we have strong worker protections this side and crap like this typically isn’t flying.

Some stuff is hard to get like full remote if you’re not within the country though. Asking my guys to work exceptionally on weekends I could see but they can totally tell me to fuck off without any sort of grudge.

It’s true that importing talent is hard though, it can take a while for the whole sponsorship file to be built.

I wish you good luck with the whole process. If you apply in Belgium next time I’ll be able to provide more insight.

Uh. 80k is rather senior. Strange that they are playing you like that. Or 80k was never on the table. Hiring intermediaries are REALLY shit these days, especially those relying on LinkedIn. They straight up lie some. What country were you aiming for? It seems recare exists in half of Europe in a form or another.

Yeah but as an internal employee or as a contractor ? Those are very different statuses with enormously varying conditions.

80k? As a contractor or an employee?

Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

It’s both been there forever and also I keep buying it on all new devices…

Nice :)

Yeah being European doesn’t mean someone will let go a good business opportunity… We’ll see others follow with similar increases unless the European stance on territoriality changes again.
