  • One company tried to get rid of me for 4 years. I was hired as a development engineer for a pilot project. Project started slowly and after my trial period the project runner had a stroke and remained on a sick leave.

    Nobody dared to touch the project or bother me. I took it far as I could. After that I had nothing to do and no funding to continue, so i just hung around.

    Project runner never returned and eventually they were able fire/retire him.

    Nobody killed the project, but no funding either.

    Maintenance electrisionists were happy to take me along for the ride and for 3 years I was their “trainee” with engineers salary.

    I learned the trade.

    I even went to talk to the region manager about why I had absolut zero billed work during my time. He just laughed and nothing changed.

    During my fifth year I finally quit. Salary was engineers salary, but still a small one. They were also about to promote me to a department chief in a shit position where all employees and manager had just resigned in protest.

    6 months after I resigned the “stroke victim” called and wanted me keep his project alive, but I had to tell him that the ship had sailed and torpedoed some time ago.

















  • If you skip everything deep fried, I don’t think the hamburger or side salade is that bad anywhere, even though the meat is ultra processed.

    At least in scandinavia fast food involves a lot of lies. Many of them market their products, as made from domestic ingredients, but several investigations have shows that they are just using loopholes to manipulate their definitions and in reality there is very little to non domestic.

    Meat usually comes from East-Europe and is just pressed into patties domestically. Vegetarian patties are imported from US, so they are not healthy and their carbon footprint is insane.
