Paris Train Station Workers Battle Verbal Abuse, While .NET Developers Navigate Technical Challenges

In Paris, a large train station manager expressed her exhaustion at facing constant insults from the public. Dressed in a navy blue SNCF uniform and smoking a cigarette, she shared how she endured derogatory remarks such as “old skin, fat cow, and f*** you” on a daily basis. Even during the Covid pandemic, she had to deal with an individual spitting on her, leading her to file multiple complaints. The toll of these attacks weighed heavily on her and made the process of filing complaints time-consuming and unpleasant.

In response to these incidents, SNCF is launching a communications campaign in stations and on social networks ahead of the busy summer travel season. The campaign showcases the insults received by staff, paired with the slogan “Does that shock you? Us too.” This initiative aims to raise awareness about the mistreatment faced by station employees and hopefully deter further instances of verbal abuse.

On a different note, individuals working on .NET projects have also been facing challenges and frustrations. From dealing with bugs that seem to multiply each time one is fixed to struggling with software projects for weeks on end, many developers are feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Whether it’s trying to build a .NET app or revamping a website using Umbraco or navigating technical issues within existing projects, the process can be daunting and exhausting. Despite these obstacles, individuals are seeking solutions and resources to overcome these challenges. From watching tutorials and seeking advice from online forums to expressing frustrations and seeking support from fellow developers, the journey of working on .NET projects can be a rollercoaster of highs and lows. The key is to persist, seek help when needed, and remain resilient in the face of technical difficulties.
