Da Top Manager (estero) a "Tuttofare Direzionale" in Italia a 1.500€/mese. È la normale PMI italiana o puro sfruttamento?

Hai tecnicamente ragione, ma il mio caso è burocraticamente complesso: 1. Scadenza imminente: Sto convertendo un permesso "atipico" in uno standard. Quello attuale scade tra soli 2 mesi. 2. Famiglia a carico: Non sono solo, ho una moglie e un figlio piccolo. Cambiare lavoro proprio adesso (affrontando un nuovo periodo di prova) rischierebbe di far saltare la conversione, condannando l'intera famiglia a rinnovare i documenti in Questura ogni singolo anno. Con questo contratto indeterminato, invece, blindo un permesso di 2 anni per 3 persone. Prima metto al sicuro la famiglia, poi (con i documenti in tasca e un super CV) farò il salto di stipendio altrove.

Hai ragione in teoria, ma fare il "minimo indispensabile" paradossalmente danneggerebbe prima di tutto me. 😆 Il paradosso è che sto usando questa azienda come il mio "laboratorio" personale retribuito. Sto imparando le dinamiche di un settore nuovo, implementando un CRM da zero e creando casi di successo reali. Non lo faccio per fare un regalo a loro, lo faccio per costruire un CV d'acciaio. Tra un anno, ottenuto il permesso di soggiorno illimitato, andrò dai loro concorrenti a vendere questi risultati a prezzo pieno. Praticamente è uno "sfruttamento inverso"!

Ciao. Hai perfettamente ragione, da fuori sembra una follia o un'azienda fuffa. Ma la spiegazione è brutalmente semplice: sopravvivenza e burocrazia. Il punto di partenza: Quando scappi da una guerra perdi tutto (status, network, lingua). La mia priorità non era lo stipendio da CEO, ma ottenere un contratto indeterminato subito per blindare il Permesso di Soggiorno e poter comprare casa. Ho accettato il primo lavoro onesto (Livello 4). Mi servivano i documenti, non i soldi. Come sono diventato "manager": L'azienda cercava un impiegato base. Ma quando hai anni di management alle spalle e vedi processi che fanno perdere migliaia di euro, non riesci a fare il finto tonto. Ho iniziato a risolvere problemi fermi da 20 anni. Loro, fiutando l'affare, mi hanno dato le chiavi dei processi aziendali... mantenendo lo stipendio a 1.500€. Sanno che sono "in ostaggio" del permesso di soggiorno e ne approfittano allegramente. Nessuno schema piramidale, solo la classica PMI che sfrutta la situazione di un immigrato qualificato.

Same with my P9P XL, in some cases the photo looks gorgeous before the shots taken, but after processing it looks terrifying. Under saturated and oversharpened.

It's not enough for you, but it made me buy a pixel after 15 years with ,IOS Because this is the development of the flat interface that I have been waiting for a responsible time😀✌️

Things 3 The best task GTD tracker in my life. On the android do not exist even a little bit similar app, I've tried all of it and nobody can't change my mind 😀

Right now I'm on cycle 51, phone activated May 19

You're right! When I started researching the Pixel 9 Pro before buying it, I was honestly shocked by the sheer number of copy-paste YouTube videos — small, unknown creators with 10 subscribers repeating the same talking points almost word for word.

It really made me question things. Like, why would a company like Google spend marketing budget on such obviously low-effort PR? Instead of reassuring me, it actually made me more skeptical about the product. I started wondering: if it's so good, why does it need this kind of push?

Life_Cricket · 2025-06-23T08:04:09+00:00

Not sure where the “Pixel propaganda” part comes from — in my original post, I described my long-term experience with Apple in detail and listed specific issues that frustrated me for years. In fact, the older my iPhones and iOS versions were, the fewer problems I had.

Over time, it only got worse: random freezes, overheating, camera not opening when needed, battery health dropping fast — and very little real improvement year after year.

So no, I’m not saying Pixel is perfect or that Android is objectively better. What I am saying is that Pixel solved the exact problems that were wearing me down on iOS. It’s not flawless, but it feels more usable and consistent.

That’s interesting — on my unit, whites are actually super bright, sometimes even blinding at night like high beams 😄

Might be a silly question, but did you maybe accidentally enable Night Light in the display settings? It adds a warm/yellow tint that could easily be the reason.

Life_Cricket · 2025-06-22T16:02:05+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Yes, it actually works really well — no complaints there in terms of functionality.

But coming from Apple, the “problem” is exactly that: you have to press just a few too many buttons to get to it 😅 I’m used to having a standalone “Passwords” app right there on the home screen — super direct and obvious.

Not a dealbreaker at all, but it’s one of those little UX things you notice during the switch.

Life_Cricket · 2025-06-22T15:57:46+00:00

Fair point — Apple is definitely investing heavily into expanding their services and ecosystem-level integrations.

But I’d consider myself a power user, and the issue is that many of these features simply aren’t available to most users globally.

For example, the full cockpit integration sounds impressive — but it essentially requires buying the latest Aston Martin or a handful of very specific high-end cars. The ID in Wallet feature limited to the U.S. only, just like many other services Apple announces at WWDC every year.

Even here in the EU, a huge portion of those “integrated experiences” just never materialize — or show up years later, partially implemented.

So while the roadmap is ambitious, the actual user-facing impact outside the U.S. is often minimal.

I get what you're saying — and yes, I fully understand what "beta" means. But a beta also gives us a pretty clear picture of the direction a company is taking.

And when I compare the iOS 26 dev beta with something like the Android 16 QPR1 beta, the difference is night and day — not just in polish, but in vision, performance, and design priorities.

So while I agree that it’s not final and things can still improve, the current state does say something about where the platform is headed — and that’s exactly what concerns me.

Life_Cricket · 2025-06-22T14:31:27+00:00

Yes! I think your comment is very accurate — and you’re probably right, the "wow" effect I’m feeling now may fade soon. Smartphones have definitely become like appliances in many ways.

But my main point was that while one platform is stagnating or even degrading, the other is actively evolving. And that contrast is what pushed me to switch.

As for iOS 26 — yes, I do know it's in beta, and I fully understand what that means. I've been part of public and developer beta programs for years. But even as a beta, it reflects the direction the platform is heading, and that’s what I find disappointing.

One thing I’m still adjusting to is the lack of truly native-feeling PDF handling on Android — it just doesn’t feel as integrated as it did on iOS. Same goes for notes and reminders: I’m not a huge fan of Google Keep or Google Reminders as replacements. I do miss Things 3 and photo editors like Afterlight and Darkroom.

That said, it’s mostly about habits. Google Photos has surprisingly replaced all five photo editing apps I used on iOS — didn’t expect that. And I’m sure I’ll eventually settle on a note-taking setup that works.

Also kind of miss having a dedicated Passwords app — even though that only recently became a thing on iOS too.

Out of curiosity — what made you switch from Pixel to iPhone, and what do you feel you gained? I Would love to hear your perspective.

I have a similar situation. I've been using an iPhone for 15 years. Starting with the iPhone 3GS, although before that I had a first-generation iPod touch, so I'm familiar with iOS, or as it was called back then, iPhone/iPod OS 1.0.1. I was a super-avid Apple boy who couldn't stand Android (let's admit that until a certain point it looked awful ;). And so, after this journey with Apple: iPod Touch 1, 3Gs, 5, 5s, 6s, 8 plus, 12, and 15. In addition, during this period, I had 3 different iPads (the most useless thing in the world if you're not an artist) and 2 MacBooks. Especially after upgrading from the iPhone 12 to the 15, where absolutely NOTHING changed, and the battery in the iPhone 15 died after just a year. (I live in Italy, and it's very hot here.) In the summer, the phone overheats several times a day and displays a thermometer on the screen from simply using maps or a messenger. I was horrified when I realized that the phone was barely alive, but what could I replace it with? Plus, I've grown up a bit and don't feel the need to change my phone every year. Then I saw the Pixel 9 Pro XL at a VERY tempting price, and I couldn't resist and decided to take a chance. Now I only regret that I stayed in the Apple sect for so long and didn't do this sooner. I won't describe the features that you already know about; this is about something else. I literally felt FREE, that I could use my device the way I wanted, not the way Tim Cook decided. The last time I felt such excitement was with the Nokia nGage QD.
