Where is this legal right to work from home? It does not exist in Germany as well as in couple northern countries. Is this a thing for Netherlands?

They’re there. Hidden somewhere. I watched some of them. But you need to search for them. Like there is quality food I prepared for my workday today. But I must actively work on that and not take offered junk food.

I am pretty sure, you can find some activity that brings you joy. Looks like you’re doing financially well and can choose everything between carpentry and private pilot license. Be egoistic and selfish! After getting nice fast car I realize

Best careers I know in person did the classmates through the connections of their (mostly wealthy) parents or partners. There is no silver bullet here. Coming from poverty means grinding twice hard as others and being open for weird opportu

I am with you. YouTube does not offer math lectures about volume calculation. It advertises some fast food alike junk about insane things. And the 8 years old boys watch cartoons about chopped heads and how the dog plays with these heads. A

This thing with duty feeling is hard. They all feel they did their best. Exactly as my precursor who spend 17 years in the role and did way below bare minimum. No single comment in the code. Last project does not work at all, but was approv

I was absolute Volkswagen fan. The Audi Quattro was great. Diesel engines were a huge leap forward during Golf 4 times (20 years ago). 1.9 TDI was great, had that nice 96 kW version. Afterwards VW cut quality. Suspension in VW got worse tha

Well that’s not really how it works. Even with 22 kW AC (what is rare in Europe) Tesla model Y needs 4 hours to charge from empty to road ready. And it is show stopper, because any petrol car needs 5 minutes to go another 300-600 miles. Wit

Most managers I worked for in corporate setting didn’t really care for people. They were loyal to their superiors. And their subordinates were more or less tools for a goal. Most absurd situation was in my previous job where the company hir

Funny thing is that one can do it properly and it even will be as good as from the factory. For that one must peel off whole car’s body sheet wise and weld/glue the not damaged sheets again. Also add anti corrosive paint in between. Ho

It might be good creative writing. But a businessman who I knew got stroke and died around the time. His real estate projects became worthless basically in one week. So from the timing I would say, that the writing might be real.

Have electricity cost of <7€ now for 100 km. Petrol cost was close to 20€. Plus I save a lot on repairs. Previous car was old and I got tired of lying under it. I guess car choice and calculation behind it is very individual. I never wan

Consumers are not rational. Range anxiety is a thing. And there are some mystical forces pushing weird news about electric vehicles constantly. Popular ones: you’ll freeze in your car in traffic jam in winter. No repair shop can work on ele

You’re welcome! You should read your work contract and/or Betriebsvereinbarung regarding work on weekends. It’s clearly defined.

Some people work on weekends even in Germany. Saturday is normal workday according German law. It’s more or less personal preference. At least one has a choice.

It’s perfect topic for a flame war. But imho blocking airports ends up in more traffic overall because planes must be re-routed. Is this not opposing original goal?.. or the goal is not saving climate at all?..

Health and care insurance in Germany combined a bit over 1000€ per working adult. During hard times it covered whole family including all kids. With working wife it’s two times 1000€ a month. So 25000€ a year for a family. But every health

Buying a home and getting grounded was the key for my community integration. It is very clear who are tenants and who are the owners. The owners came with cookies and Glühwein to remove together snow from our street. Tenants didn’t show up.
