In german there's a funny situation as well: The employer is called the "work provider", while the employee is the "work receiver". Thank you, company, for providing me with work.

- rkta 4y agoNo, it's actually pretty close. German werknemer is Arbeitnehmer.
- solarkraft 4y agoLiterally it's actually "work giver" and "work taker", I just found it less idiomatic in english (it doesn't quite transport the connotation of providing the work being something noble).
