i'm meeting someone again that i met this weekend. she has to leave Oslo soon. she has intentions of returning but it'll be a while, and she may go somewhere else altogether for job opportunities.

her job skills are rare but so is the demand for them. in such a small country as this, only a handful of large companies need that skill set. there are currently no job listings for it on the biggest job site in the country.

in a way, it feels like her employer tricked her. they trained her on a niche tech stack, fully aware that it makes you virtually unemployable anywhere else in this country, and then they dumped her when they had no need for her anymore.

she chose to work there and they chose to hire her, so it's all voluntary, but so is a toxic relationship between two consenting adults.
