Here’s what you need to know: Regulation works.

We should call them “oversimplication” and “overcomplification”. Would convey the meaning better :)

because you let it

“could not”… it’s past tense, in 2022. (also in past tense in the article linked.) I expect that as the first panic around energy vs. ru-ua war settled at the end of 2022 / beg. 2023, prices went back to a normal, although probably not pre-war, levels. (at least that’s what happened in the netherlands.)

Is this written by ai?

It really shouldn’t be unpopular. EU bureaucracy might be slow, but it really does make a difference. Remember how you had to pay ridiculous roaming mobile charges if you crossed into another country? Or how you has to pay ridiculous money to transfer money between countries ridiculously slowly? Or how you had to charge that iphone with a ridiculous connector? Or how EU employment contacts stack up against US ones? Regulation works. The EU works.

We were “encouraged” by our CEO to go back to office and “collaborate”. So my rule is now 2 days per week in the office (sometimes 1, sometimes 3, I’m flexible), but when I’m there, no calls/meetinga as much as possible. I’m socialising, shooting the shit, drinking coffee, playing ping pong with my peers. Realistically this works about half thr time, the other half we are organically ending up doing some work, discussing that thing we always wanted to but it never fits in a formal meeting slot, coming up with ideas how to solve a problem we didn’t even realise we had until it came up during coffe or smth… At the beginning my boss complained a bit and I just told him I’m collaborating. He let it go!

So, BTO has a (limited) point, there is value to be there in person sometimes…

I installed a hook in my living room ceiling but it was genuinely meant to hang my heavy bag for training. Now I’m wondering how many guests think that I do sex hook sex in the living room (where I don’t even have curtains.)
