The only problem I see here would be created by themselves. The price they pay for postponing questions is losing WebRTC and those "serious applications" in the meantime.

Did you find anything with those features already? I have a very similar scenario and I'm currently exploring what is available.

Even if they do:

  * They are aware of those, and therefore may use other countermeasures.
  * The masking still reduces the "surveilance surface".

> I think the essential office chitchat issue is "being yourself" vs. "seeming like a high quality professional". I've found out the hard way that relaxing and aiming for a real conversation carries a high % chance of saying something unbecoming of a team leader.

Indeed, this is a very good way to put it. Although I do understand people who say silly things at the lunch table without a second thought - they value fun and genuine social interactions more than "upward mobility".

If you can't be yourself for at least 8h/day and you also can't be yourself after that, because you shouldn't base you social life around your co-workers, then who are you? And when are you allowed to be yourself? Weekends and bank holidays? Fuck. That.

We would all be happier if we were allowed to be ourselves all the time. Maybe by hopping around until landing on a cluster of likewise co-workers who can see the "high quality professional" side by side with the crazy cat lady or the punkrocker.

But again, I think your decription is correct and that we live within a very sad state of affairs.

Why does being regulated by Lithuania make it look it like a money-laundering scheme?

Got it, thanks.

Perhaps the parent was trying to conceal the identity of the person in question and gender would be too much of a giveaway.

> Style tip: When talking about a particular person, don't refer to him or her as "they".

Can you explain why, please?

Comments like this, while factually correct, are the reason why we need these books.

Raise awareness, at least.

I for one would be more than happy if they organized them too while they are at it.

Too many times I use Evernote as a dump of everything and end up with ideas, email addresses, random names for people/services/brands/wtv, book/movie/music titles all in the same note that I then need each into their correct notebook and note at a later time. The problem is that there is never a good later time.

Which tells me there's something fundamentally wrong with the automotive (for these specific examples, but there are others) industry.
