Sysadmin for one of the oldest remaining independent local newspapers in Germany.
I commute to work by bicycle, have a 7 hour work day, and we regularly have foosball tournaments and Nerf gun battles during work hours.
Other than that, it's pretty standard sysadmin work, made more interesting by the specialized software we deploy, the extremely high security and resiliency standards, and the special characters who work at a local newspaper in 2024.
The team and my boss are really chill. It's low stress, unionized, with really decent pay, flexible schedules, right to work-from-home and 42 days of paid vacation (plus 13 national holidays and unlimited sick days).
I'll work this job until the newspaper goes bankrupt, when (not if) the entire sector of print journalism disappears.
