I don't see the browser in the video.

Sure, but this is not the criteria for a company to be successful or not.

Springer is used for the knight, Läufer is used for the Bishop.

You can't possibly believe this PR scheme, do you?

This has nothing to do with being brainwashed. Couldn't we say the same about your stance?

Yes they are people, but a company is NOT responsible for them. Where does this come from? An employee has an employment relationship and not a friendship and while it certainly sucks to be let go, it's not the company who is the bad guy.

From what I see, you can't take off your personal morale views from business decisions.

> Meanwhile the rich fucks are still getting richer even with the "risk" they take. What even has that anything to do with what parent is saying? Or the topic we are discussing?

Is in your opinion no company is allowed to let go people, except if they pamper them with a big severance package? Sorry, but your post reads very childish and naive.

In germany it's only 3 month if the employee has been in the company for 4 years. Until then it's only 1 month.

Edit: Both parties can of course negotiate a bigger time frame.

Hindsight is a lazy excuse. Securing your energy and making yourself depend by and on a more than questionable regime isn't just stupid. It's beyond that. You don't need a lot of brain cells to understand that that isn't a great idea.

I think the parent was sarcasm

The bull names are intended. Since Audi took over, they name (almost) every car after a famous spanish bull.

Well there is a saying: You always create your own devils

I think it fits here.

I totally forgot to mention, that I use earwax or earplugs during my prime worktime (that is from 9:00 - 12:30) and often after lunch too.

For me it's a blessing. Jesus christ, not hearing any background noise is a gamechanger.

I started implementing fix wakeup and bedtime hours. I wake up at 7:00 and my "wrap-up" alarm is ringing at 22:00, means, cleaning up the kitchen (so it's ready for the next day), cleaning up my workplace and making myself ready for bedtime (brushing teeth etc.).

I also added a "day done" timer, means, at 18:30 no more work, no matter what. I stop and make my dinner meal.

My morning routine (the 7:00 wakeup call) had the most impact. This call basically initiates a sequence of actions: Wakeup, taking shower, breakfast and PAPERWORK. This goes until 9:00 which is the time where I start my work day.

My next step will be to integrate running into my morning routine as the first action. That being said, knowing that I will do my paperwork the next day at a given time helped the most. I don't have a lot of paperwork or urgent paperwork so this works for me.

When a new routine is integrated and becomes a normal part of my life, I start with integrating the next routine and so on.

One thing I noticed though is, no matter what the routine is and how you plan it, at some point you have to do it and overcome your procrastination. You have to find something that works for you. In the end you have to do the action and just not "plan" it.

I plan my routines in a way where I know I'm not "overwhelmed". You gotta be true to yourself :)

Oh and I should mention that I also have days set where I definately will do certain things. For example, I chose Sunday to be my day where I experiment with some cool programming stuff that I wanted to do. That could be a new library I found, programming language or whatever. But no pressure, it's just my "experiement" day where I look into things I'm curious about.

I also clean my "backlog" on that day in the evening. I have a bookmark folder called "backlog" where I move things I want to read or visit later.

Just knowing I have my fix dates and times to do certain things is really satisfying. I'm not sure how to describe it. But it feels relieving.

In the last startup I worked for, I had a certain behavior of what I call "goal-driven stopping". Instead of stopping my work based on the current time, I stopped when I was satisfied with the work/code I have done and if I didn't fix that bug or feature (the goal) I kept going. This was super bad because I wouldn't stop for lunch and instead kept going. Sometimes it was so bad that I would my 1st or 2nd meal that day in the late evening. For some reason I pressured myself for reason I myself made up.

I learned to not to do this with the help of routines :)
