Only problem with Hetzner is that they don't seem to accept Accounts created from African countries. Tried creating an account with them twice from Kenya, and in both instances my account got blocked 5 minutes after creation with zero explanation. tried reaching out to support and got zero reply.

I get it's their business and they can do as they please with it, however, maybe tell me before I create an account that you don't accept accounts from my continent

It’s funny because my manager used to blame things on HR…

Then I became a team lead and a people manager. Nobody told me squat. I decided bonuses and performance rating freely. I entered them directly into the system.

All the HR stuff was all a lie.

Left soon after when I was held back (without pay increase) while other engineers with less experience and significantly fewer accomplishments were fast tracked for promotions while I was held back.

Currently experiencing the same. I am the lowest paid in the team, the people I am expected to mentor are paid higher and my applications for promotions keep getting rejected yet I am told I need ro mentor the others who earn more than me. Spending most of my evenings preparing for interviews

Had 1 on 1's with my manager for a whole year and everytime they told me how I was doing such a great job as compared to others in the team. There was no zero bad feedback. At the end of the year we had the yearly review and they praised me. However on the review document they placed me on PIP. It was such a shock because why tell me everyday how I am doing such a great job only to put me on PIP? Raised the issue with the skip and he admitted the reason they did that was because HR forced them, claiming not everyone can do well, someone must be on Pip, so they settled on me.

These days our 1 on 1's barely last 5 minutes, it's like we do it as a formality. She is even afraid of talking to me and the worst bit is that I cannot change teams because of the PIP. Plus it's a bad job market. never been this dammned

Maybe due to refering to a black person in a video as Chimpanzee

I have the exact model as my work device and I have had this problem since like October 2024. On my personal M4 Pro, none of this. At some point I thought it might be the corporate spyware software. Let me try this solution and see if it fixes it
