That has to be so fucking surreal. You’re countries been invaded, shit’s blowing up, millions of people are displaced, but you’ve still got to go type shit on your work laptop.

They can’t even get they day off during a fucking war?

Please tell me the reason is because they are soldiers or some shit and not because line must go up

So at the risk of putting too much info out there. My work has a project that has been farmed out to a software development company in Ukraine for the past 3 years. There is no way they are going to flush that kind of investment. So during our weekly meetings I get to hear how brave the devs are for working out of cities that are currently in conflict areas. Now this image will be in my head whenever they bring it up.

Print it out with bold letters “Heros!” written on it and pass it out in the meeting.

Then a year later your boss will hire new devs and tell them how harsh others have it (showing the picture) and that they will not tolerate less, but also pay not a lot of money.

there’s something so bleak about this. what work are they even doing?

i’m sure its some complete bullshit like marketing or whatever the fuck people do in offices all day (been lucky enough never to work in one myself).

still gotta complete the pointless tasks to justify your existence even in an active war zone.

plus that setup will destroy your lower back in no time if you are any older than like 22.

Reminds me of an interview with a young woman who had recently fled to Denmark from Ukraine. She said that she wanted to hopefully contribute with her skills as a production manager, or in marketing, meanwhile every company in Denmark is currently salivating at the thought of making the Ukrainians work as either agricultural labour or as factory workers. Also apparently the wave of refugees will have absolutely zero impact on the apparent “labour shortage” that Danish companies are facing.

I mean I’m sorry for her because war sucks but I feel like at some point this deep into office work you should realize it’s probably a good idea to have at least one skill that does not involve MS Office.

Could be just IT work which is likely outsourced for western companies. AFAIK Ukraine didn’t bother doing war economy stuff (there’s been reports of humanitarian aid being resold at stores even) so you still gotta grind daily for your overlords.
