If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

"side hustle" makes it sound like they are choosing this path. IMHO these managers are forced to step up because the orgs are too cheap to backfill or there is a gap in personnel. Not always but quite often

The only reason why I noticed is because I am considering Portugal for longish term residence

Tech companies are not allowed to work with AI until they manage to invent an airline seat electrical plug that chargers can actually plug into snugly and supply power. First things first.
