    "every company wants a person who is open for disagreements"
    LOL
    The company I worked for (IBM -> Kyndryl) wanted to have droids. Customer satisfaction was that Level One (customer employee) asked us (Level Two) for some completely idiotic thing, that they do not understand, and you do something, without asking questions, because you can not want to upset the customer, and hope it is what they asked.
    Or that official language was supposed to be english but they ask in german, and you figure it out.
    And then it is your fault.And if you disagree, you are gone.
    Good listener meant that you do not disagree, do not talk, just accept.
    Open comunicator? Not even in the team, as some people are malicios.

      Find your block size by converting the relevant octet to binary (248 = 11111000) the last ON bit is your block size, in this case 8. Subtract 2 for network and broadcast addresses which leaves 6.
