  • You’re not the only person, but it’s definitely not the way to keep your shit safe online.

    Best practice is to use a different sufficiently strong (e.g. long and random) password for every account. That way, when an account’s password is leaked, it doesn’t immediately compromise every other account for which you’ve reused that password.

    I generally advise people to use a password manager (I like Bitwarden) to store their myriad passwords, so they only have to remember a single master password.

    ofc these bots aren’t necessarily sneaking into their operators’ password managers and stealing their passwords; the operators willingly and knowingly given the bots access to these things, so they can offload the drudgery of e.g. looking at a calendar to them







  • that’s a rough choice on a tight timeline

    if you’re open to suggestions: take the severance package

    anecdotally (including my own anecdatum) a PIP is just a step in building a case for constructive dismissal, especially if your workplace is a factor in your burnout. do you really want to have to work even harder for a chance at staying there?

    take some time to recover from burnout (even if it means having less funds for a bit), then try and find something to do for employment thay doesn’t suck so hard

    myself, I chose disappearing in the bureaucracy of a multinational enterprise for a reduced salary and title. getting away with only a few hours of work most days, and spending the rest of the time living my life
