    The follow up question is whether it is tech in general or just the management decisions of certain companies.

      @Szescstopni Not advice, just a reminder that "DSPD" is a thing. People genuinely have different preferred diurnal activity maximums.

      @riley That's right. But if you run a pub you forget there's such a thing as sleep preferences 🙂 @q3k

        @jn @domi @q3k pretty sure if I would go "screw this, I'm out", I would go into dressmaking. That was my childhood dream (shout-out to my mom's soviet-era sewing machine, that thing was a tank) until capitalism made me realize it wasn't a profitable business model

          what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore? is it still to open a bar to serve a clientele of other burned out tech workers?

                      @q3k The customer I am doing the project for once mistakenly sent me an invitation for advanced forklift training. I've answered them, that I do not have basic training yet, but I'd be glad to get it.

                      To this day I regret they had not followed with an invitation for the basic training.

                                @q3k depends on how much savings you have, but we'd assume the world is profoundly in need of third spaces, so...

                                      @yavien @q3k my laser tech said it's only 12-18 months of courses to get qualified as a laser tech; had me tempted... maybe not as permanent as electrolysis but much cheaper for non-essential areas
