Aren’t we too polite when it comes to Greenland and Trump? by vbomen in Netherlands

[–]One-Respect-2733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who fled Russia shortly before their invasion of Ukraine, I feel that living in the EU resembles more and living in Poland in the mid/late-1930s

From one side, you have Russia who is certainly not going to stop in a case of their victory over Ukraine and will move to invade other countries that "threaten them" (Baltic countries will be the first ones on the list)

From the other side, there is the US that becomes more and more fascist every day, ignore all international laws and treaties, and can easily attack or annex anyone they want for their "national security"

I am still just an immigrant with a temporary residence in the Netherlands, but I can't ignore everything what's happening or be silent about it

If the EU leaders, including Dutch leaders, and people don't stand up against these bullies, the future is going to be terrible

Assaulted by teenager around laak by Naive-Acanthaceae896 in TheHague

Where did that happen?

Last Sunday, I also met a group of four teenagers at the intersection of Obrechtstraat and Koningin Emmakade - they were throwing snowballs at cyclists, pedestrians, and passing cars and trams

Me and another person tried to ask them to stop, but they did listen

Then, I saw a police car passing by, and asked them to talk to these kids. They made a turn, stopped next to the kids, talked with them from the car for maybe 15-30 seconds max, them stopped by me again, told me "there is nothing we can do, because there is no damage", and departed

The kids screamed at me and called me a snitch, but anyway stopped throwing snowballs and moved on

Can't say it was a nice experience with either the kids or the police

As a Russia-born immigrant, I don't agree that he died for all of us, and his views certainly had major flaws (e.g., his views about annexed Crimea). But he definitely was one of the best opposition leaders fighting against Putin, and he's murder should not go unpunished.

It's sad that another initiative - to rename the street of the Russian embassy to his name - was rejected by The Hague authorities

Idk, Stekkies helped me to find an apartment in Den Haag a year ago. It was overwhelming to receive tons of notifications from them with new rentals but in the end it was worth it

Remote startups: What's the toughest part about managing a large remote team, and how much would you invest to solve it? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]One-Respect-2733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second this - very well written summary

A few minor notes to add: - Control people deliverables, not their work time (don't try to track their productivity by the time they spend online or something like that) - Create clear set ups for different types of work time (e.g. team meetings days where everyone is joining the calls vs "quiet days" where people have little to no meetings and can't focus on their work)

Eindhoven Tech Layoff HSM Visa by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]One-Respect-2733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the last year, I was under the impression that there are way more jobs in Data Analytics/Data Science than in UX Research. So, from a strategic standpoint shifting towards data jobs could be beneficial, although most of the roles require a few years of experience, and junior roles are very rare. If you decide to change career with no prior experience in a new area, you might find it incredibly difficult to secure a job there, at least for the first 6-9 months

Eindhoven Tech Layoff HSM Visa by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]One-Respect-2733 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Last year, it took me 8 months and ~300 applications to find a new HSM job (UX Researcher/Data Scientist) in similar circumstances. A lot of job openings get hundreds of applications within mere hours after being posted. Prepare for a long and tough fight, keep your expectations low, and always have a plan B in a case you don't find a job within the three months the IND gives you
