By that logic nobody in Europe could burn out because most countries pay at least 80% of your wage for a year or more if you happen to get jobless.
For me, money never was the problem. My main reason to burnout was stress and missing time for my own things & projects.
- epolanski 3y agoOnly Switzerland pays as much from what I know in Europe. In Italy you ain't getting a liveable or comparable wage to what I make.
- herbst 3y agoAt least Austria and the northern states (kinda) have that too. I assume Italy, Spain & eastern Europe don't really work like that :/
- thorin 3y agoThat's not 100% true though. For instance in the UK (EU days) you'd definitely be getting less than minimum wage and that would be means tested. Any payout from the company would only be there if you were a permanent employee, which is difficult for a lot of IT workers in affluent EU countries as companies prefer contractors or outsource providers to limit their liability.
