More and more countries are taking back control of their IT! At the #LibreOffice Conference, we hear how the Austrian Military is switching. Oh, and there's cool conference swag from the organisers too... https://conference.libreoffice.org/2025/ #foss #OpenSource
Didn’t want to give the impression I’m just complaining about Austria so put it there just incase… But I will say I have never filled as many forms as I have since moving to Austria
a friend of mine is getting their PhD in germany; the bureaucracy is nightmarish!
and slow…sooooo slooooooow!
they regularly have issues getting funds approved, even when applying months in advance, and regularly doesn’t have confirmation that his position will be continued into the next semester, and on and on… it’s seriously non-stop bullshit!
makes me very glad that austrian bureaucracy, even though massively inefficient and excessive, at least works on human timelines!
Ouch… Sounds like it’s tough to plan ahead anything…
Definitely! It’s slow and excessive like you said, but it works (in my limited experience). When it doesn’t work I can just be annoying and persistent with my phone calls and then it usually ends up working out fine lol.
you accidentally put a “/s” at the end as if that isn’t exactly what austria is like XD
