I.e. I get told that the best second nationality I could get is Serbian... Why though?

As of now, my team of 5 + a manager is basically doing nothing (mainly because the manager is an asshat and I think higher ups have given up on him but cannot fire him for some legal reason). A big bunch of budget was devoted to this team, but when the expected ROI doesn't pan out higher ups just give up on the team and would rather force you to resign rather than fire you - at least in my country, getting fired also means getting a nice compensation, and I think they want to force us into boredom and resigning just to not pay us even more when leaving.
I'm honestly considering a master's degree at this point, corporate life really is awful.
Big company, small team focused on one technology, if we get engaged everyone has to work on the project (unless the client asks for a fixed number of FTEs)
It's not that someone else is programming you to vote candidate X instead of candidate Y or that now you want to buy brand Z, it's that we are rewiring our brains to follow the short-term feedback loops in how we act within society, i.e. we don't go places anymore because we want to experience something new but to share the simple fact of going somewhere with our networks and getting validated by them. I think that's the bigger issue here.
And yeah, I know I could get more bang for the buck with a tower machine, but since I'd be using this on the go in university I'd prefer to have a decent laptop before starting. I already have what is now a low-spec tower that I'll probably bring along, but when I had to run some TF for my thesis it handled it well enough, so I'm more interested in investing into a more mobile option to carry with me at all times.
I'll look into the Alienware, any idea how it compares to the Omen 15?
Retirement funds, I don't know about the rest of EU, but in my country are basically a scam - here you are forced to pay 10% of your gross salary per month into the fund and you can start getting pension after 35yrs of work (provided you are older than 70yo), that means I'm paying money I will NEVER get back, since median age is going up and employement down, no one will be around to pay my pension like I'm paying my parents' with my salary.
Sick days are on the company only for the first 3 days, after that the healthcare system pays you (80% of your rate, iirc)
