The difficulty of just getting a job currently (not helped by the fact Germany is in a recession with rising unemployment levels) has me jaded but also asking what’s next and if this isn’t the right thing for me, what is? I know I’m not the only one in this position which is reassuring at least

The commodification of workers, lack of job security, constant pressure to “over-deliver and exceed expectations”, having to buy into at times a frankly dystopian culture that demands forced cheeriness and relentless optimism. All of this is leading me to rethink where I’m currently at in my career

Having worked in tech for 4 years, being laid off twice in that time and now struggling to find a role within the same industry I can’t help but shake the feeling that something is fundamentally off about the culture, management and ways of working in the tech sector at large
