Dude in 2022 I was working at a company that had the same password on all PCs because when your on holiday the others could access the code they deployed over ftp and did live debugging and sometimes development by checking the IP and execute the "debug" code when the IP matched the static IP of the company. They kicked me out a few weeks before my probation time was up. Looking back best thing I got out of there and found a better place.
OMG, this is awful!!
So there were only 5 ppl. At the company out of 11 that were actually fully paid a normal wage the rest were doing their apprenticeship so only like 600 - 1000 € p.m. And that's how the company made money. In Germany you have 6 months of probation when you start at a new workplace in these 6 months ether party can cancel the work contract without giving any reason after the 6 months are up the normal worker protection laws kick in and it's basically impossible to get fired without being grossly negligent. Anyhow I got let go 2 weeks before that period was up they said (for me the first time hearing it) that they "weren't satisfied with my performance" and that was that.
