Why not blog tips and tricks about the game, or create Youtube How To videos to build an audience in the first place? The best way to create an audience out of nothing is still by far a blog.

Employees are not being forced to become vegetarians, they can still eat fish, dairy and eggs and expense their meals. They can even choose to go outside and eat meat, they have freedom of choice.

Meat has an horrific environmental impact, so i can see why a socially conscious company would not want to associate itself to that. Notice that employees are still free to eat whatever they want, its just that the company will not pay for

The problem is, today almost everything is highly competitive. In the 60's you could have a degree in something that is not aligned with the persons natural talent, and still make a career out of it, because there where so few people w

Do you mean that in 2018 the income is 5 times less than in 1996, taking into account both lower rates and inflation? Or 20% less today than in 1996, in gross terms? The problem is, now most freelancers are forced to create their own servic

I started doing this later, but it can get complicated. If they have two freelancers that have passed the interview, and one is asking for contract amendments while the other is not, we can see what would happen. But in general, if you insi

I agree, its pretty close to slavery. Theoretically, they could sue you if you don't work, although what happens in practice is that if the freelance is really fed up and talks to the end customer saying they want out (which the hiring

Personal taxes in Belgium are huge, to the point that most companies will give you an awesome leased car to compensate for a lower personal wage. The state caught up on that eventually, and you now have to pay a monthly fee for the car of a

They can terminate your freelance contract with a one week notice, but on the other hand, we can't terminate the contract on our side under any circumstances. All we can do is wait for the contract to finish and then not renew it. Its
