Car Sharing Users in Latvia - Best & Worst Experiences

Share your worst and best experiences with car sharing services in Latvia (Carguru, Bolt Drive, Citybee) I’m an aspiring journalist and want to write a story about car sharing companies, inspired by my own firsthand experience and want to see what others have experienced as clients/users. Speaking about what I’ve experienced, not sure if I am just unlucky, but I find the car sharing services’ customer experience quite appalling and their apps quite misleading when it comes to clarity of their policies and resulting fines and charges. I’ve had 2 negative cases in a matter of a month (while not being a frequent driver): Anyone ever had to pay a fine for when you are getting a car with already low fuel level, drive a very short distance and (!) without ever being notified that you must fuel the tank you get a fine for leaving the car with the same low fuel level? So are they charging then multiple people in this case, until somebody puts fuel in the tank (not satisfied with fining the first person who left the car with little fuel in the first place)? I once picked a car parked in the yellow “P”-marked Parking zone, assuming it is ok to park there then, drove it for a short distance and left in the same zone to get a charge for parking in what turns out to be a paid zone? Again, received no notification about paid zone and cannot find an explanation of a paid zone anywhere in the app, so how was I supposed to know this as a client (especially not a frequent user)? I also heard bad stories about people charged for car damage they had nothing to do with… Just interested to see how common this is with car sharing companies. To me these two experiences almost feel like tricks and intentionally designed non-informative user interfaces that are intentionally not showing critical information that explains the extra charge that can arise and only later inform you it is all written somewhere in the lengthy user terms and conditions that’s nobody ever reads. Did anyone else had similar experiences you can share?

HR & People Leaders in Baltics 500+ Orgs - Burnout Risk & Attrition

Would you be interested in sharing how your organization is handling the burnout risk of their talents? Within the framework of my interest in normalizing talk about burnout and minimizing the impact, but also raising awareness that there is a way of recovering, I'm launching a research project: Burnout Attrition, 2026 — Sustaining Humanity at the Speed of Technological Acceleration. It's a regional study looking at how organizations with 500+ employees across the Baltics assess and manage burnout risk — and what actually happens when people leave because of it. I'm inviting two groups to take part: 📋 HR & People leaders — share how your organization measures, tracks, and manages burnout risk and attrition. I'm reaching out directly, but if I haven't found you yet, please reach out to me — I'd love to include you. Organizations can choose to stay anonymous or be named. 💬 Employees — I want to hear your honest take: is your organization's narrative that burnout real, or an excuse for laziness? Is it understood as a genuine mental and physical health issue that quietly takes your best people? And how is the risk of burnout — and the departures it causes — actually managed where you work? If you've burned out yourself, I'd especially welcome your perspective. The survey is anonymous. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgw9u-A7 Results will be published this autumn on LinkedIn and at cebere.com. Leave your email if you'd like them sent directly to you. #BurnoutAttrition #HR #TalentSustainability #Baltics

Nordic & Baltic City Planners & Place Managers - City Center Watch

I’ve been thinking a lot about where city centers are heading, so I’m starting something new: City Center Watch! I’m getting back to updating my blog with a new angle, a monthly-ish roundup of city-center news from the Nordics and around the Baltic Sea. The idea is simple: I’ll collect interesting signals and developments on how city centers are changing, from street redesigns and public-space projects to waterfronts, mobility, retail vitality, place management and the future role of the urban core. The first edition looks at Helsinki, Tallinn, Oslo, Warsaw and Stockholm, with additional notes from Riga, Turku, Reykjavík, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Oulu, Stavanger, Kiel, Lübeck, Bergen and Gothenburg. Why city centers? Because the challenge of keeping the center as the living heart of the community has become a passion of mine. City centers are under pressure to adapt to changing patterns of work, retail, mobility, culture and everyday life, and I know many others are wrestling with the same questions. So let’s learn together. This first post is a bit longer than future editions will be, because I had some backlog material while getting the format started. From here on, the plan is to publish a new roundup roughly once a month. You can read the first City Center Watch here: https://lnkd.in/deymrqFM And if you have good city-center stories from the region for future editions, drop me a line. #CityCenters #UrbanDevelopment #Placemaking #PublicSpace #NordicCities
