Just two notices: Sentences should start with a capital letter. The question mark is missing from the end of the sentence in the title.

It seems like this company is on its way to a toxic workplace. And you are just an employee, not a co-owner. You even mentioned earlier in another submission that you would like to start own business. Focus on that! Look for a new job in the meantime if you need it.

I believe it has some advantages that while you are waiting at the train station your clock shows exactly the same time as the train conductor’s several miles away from you.

Surely not! We could be a whole minute off and I’d still be standing on the platform when the train arrived.

in the US or parts of Europe you could wait there for 10m past the scheduled time and barely notice. In Japan if the train clock disagreed with the station clock by 30s, causing the train to arrive 30s late, they'd have to write all of the passengers excuse notes for why they were late to work.

Though I absolutely agree, you should learn to ignore the things that disturbs. Today the AI, last year the crypto, two years ago the NFT, three years ago the Covid… there always will be something. Just skip them right in the head.

And we are not old. Just oldschool. But it’s good.

Happened to me not once and not twice: Editing local code, but checking changes on the remote server. And going crazy, why nothing changes?

Somehow it is not the Word/Excel file readability why I must buy Office license. But the Teams.

What is exactly the problem with Discord? (I mean I personally do not like Discord, but would know what others think.)

Do you really need to code on a vacation? (I assume this is not a job-related trip if the destination is the middle of nowhere.)

I came for this comment. This. Author did not limited social media, just cheating themselves.

Just delete your accounts and never go back. The family, the workmates, the children’s school can reach you when it really needed. All other stuff is just litter what they share there.

I am really looking forward when this becomes a base topic in the elementary schools (including tips how to use mobile apps). Right now it’s self-evident that children learn using Chrome and Google

I have worked in that front 5 years ago. Schoolsec, that was our name. Our target niche was elementary schools in southeast Brazil. It didn't work. Most of the schools we spoke to didn't even understand what we were talking about, so they couldn't assess the risk and, finally, realize the value of our work.

Of course, as years pass, the need for more "digital self-defense" increases at all levels. Maybe one day we'll hear of someone who had pulled it off by presenting a great value prop for this kind of service.
