That's why people want to be funcionarios. They get a job for life where they can't be fired and nothing are expected from them.
I guess I'll have to move in the end if I don't want to spend my whole life earning less than 30k, paying high taxes and receiving nothing in exchange.

I feel for young people in Spain, you graduate and then you get shuffled around in "permalance" positions by horrible bosses. The stories I heard were insane. I hope you end up somewhere good. I've met a lot of Portuguese lately that are working remote for German and American companies which was working well for them.
