Very privacy sensitive? In Germany, maybe. Elsewhere in Europe, not so much. See the regular attempts to push through something like chat control.

PTT = push to talk (at least that seems the most probable match on Wikipedia)

I think a black bar is in order.

Amen.

is there a list somewhere of people that did cause a black bar?

For the average non-schooled singer there is a lot of new information here. I have sung most of my life, in choirs, in church, and otherwise (not much in the shower though), and don't explicitly know most of these things. I have heard there are things like chest and head voice but I wouldn't know where one ends and the other begins.

Ooh, it's indeed fascinating how quickly you can end up with a focus on a singular subject.

Just have the possibility for pay increase without taking on management responsibilities.

Once engineering starts out earning them by a wide enough margin management will become insecure. /s

I actually am curious why this isn't a more commonplace practice. Why would we build systems that keep accumulating managers at the expense of skilled senior engineers?

Because managers promote managers and managers have vested interest in themselves.

IC = individual contributor. Wikipedia translating management speak:

> Individual contributor, a business role for an employee without management responsibilities

Thank you, I was lost reading the comments. Funny that all the comments shitting on managers are speaking their language.

I am actually abhorred by the word "individual" as part of IC (which I luckily hadn't encountered before, so I had to look it up). It appears very pejorative to me, as if all cooperation goes via the management instead of directly between team members.

At ASML, they could also be integrated circuits being baked in an oven to cure.
