A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

   Wherein, then, is your grievance? You are not ejected from the city [life] by any unjust judge or tyrant, but by the selfsame Nature which brought you into it; just as when an actor is dismissed by the manager who engaged him.
   “But I have played no more than three of the five acts.” Just so; in your drama of life, three acts are all the play. Its point of completeness is determined by him who formerly sanctioned your creation, and today sanctions your dissolution. Neither of those decisions lay within yourself.
   Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go.

[τί οὖν δεινόν, εἰ τῆς πόλεως ἀποπέμπει σε οὐ τύραννος οὐδὲ δικαστὴς ἄδικος, ἀλλ̓ ἡ φύσις ἡ εἰσαγαγοῦσα, οἷον εἰ κωμῳδὸν ἀπολύοι τῆς σκηνῆς ὁ παραλαβὼν στρατηγός;—ἀλλ̓ οὐκ εἶπον τὰ πέντε μέρη, ἀλλὰ τὰ τρία.—καλῶς εἶπας: ἐν μέντοι τῷ βίῳ τὰ τρία ὅλον τὸ δρᾶμά ἐστι. τὸ γὰρ τέλειον ἐκεῖνος ὁρίζει ὁ τότε μὲν τῆς συγκρίσεως. νῦν δὲ τῆς διαλύσεως αἴτιος: σὺ δὲ ἀναίτιος ἀμφοτέρων. ἄπιθι οὖν ἵλεως: καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἀπολύων ἵλεως.]

Prof. Dr. Trepurine 2d ago

Der #Fachkräftemangel in #Deutschland im Bereich #IT ist für mich schlimmer als angenommen, wenn ich von einem #Entwickler eine Mail bekommen "das geht nicht ich bekomme da eine Fehlermeldung" + Screenshot , dass bei einem 0815 Vorgang, das eigentliche zum Basiswissen gehört. Dann habe ich Schwierigkeiten, es meinen Chef freundlich zu sagen "das ist kein profi, das ist nicht mal ein amateur "
