Oh man, I read the article, and I really identify with what you also say: I'm now in a position where I'm pretty good at my job, and my employer is keen to give me a permanent position.

And yet, whilst it's fun to be able to answer questions on the spot, regarding my area of expertise, I'm looking forward to learning more.

Now, I learnt a lot on this job, and it's very challenging on a daily basis, but it's becoming repetitive, and having talk to management, they could not tell me how they see me/my position evolving in the next 6 months/1 year/2 years. And that makes me longing for another job...

Is your manager willing to talk about knowledge transfer of some of your duties to other people? That's a double win, because they get some growth, and you get free time to pursue other interests. And if there is nothing, then at least you feel less guilty about leaving.

Your boss has revealed they have no opinions on your growth options. Do you have any ideas of your own? Offer them up.

That's a fair suggestion, thanks! Retrospectively, it might well be that I haven't been so vocal, so they might think it's all fine.

I'll think about what you said, make a list and bring it to the table next time.

Wow! I learnt that FAA at some point stood for Federal Alcohol Administration: https://www.youroldtimebookstore.com/v/vspfiles/photos/YOTB2...

More details are available on their operation website: https://cand.pglaf.org/germany/index.html

It's a bit of a pity, especially when the law firm, Waldorf Frommer, doesn't seem to respect GDPR on their staff listing page: https://www.waldorf-frommer.de/team/

In what sense aren’t they respecting GDPR? Most likely the staff authorized publication of photos and names on the website.

I cannot remember for this building specifically, but I've noticed in others that the emergency instructions are indeed to call the council.

I was the flatmate. We never got a message through. I was busy on my own side courting a fine lady, and did not expect any sort of communication. I learned of the story only the next day, when I went back to work.

The building in question is operated by the city council, which did great for low rent. I think many people, me included, would have thought of calling the council first, before the fire brigade, as the city keeps technicians round the clock (supposedly) to deal with such problems.

I'm rather pleased by the elegant use of this software for such a situation.
