yep, people blinded by rage invest more time to flood places with their message. Sometimes with bots or multi accounts, which… well, speaks for itself how sad it is.
And also that making up facts for discussion takes less time to do than a proper argumentation
Yep, Western Europe, Spain more precisely. 23 days holidays but at least in my sector it is counting that the working days are Monday - Friday (meaning that you don’t need to include Saturdays in the counting).
Then 13 - 14 bank holidays. And then in my sector an extra 2 days for “personal matters”, like going to the doctor or bank or paperwork appointment.
I keep saying “in my sector” as I work in a normal office job, but teachers or other jobs may have more or differently distributed
I have a folder of very random pictures on my phone just to add as WhatsApp group images when I’m invited to one 👌
Radom tapas is a thing in small places in Spain. Definitely my favourite, as usually is what they have just freshly made from the kitchen and not thinking is a wonderful perk. I’d go to a “random tea” place definitely
Not all birds are dumb, you have parrots there, so a bit of a bad comparison
sounds like illegal indeed, you could’ve sue them to the work administration or whatever there is in the UK (I’ve worked there, but never had any issues on the working department… there’s so little unemployment that if you’re unhappy just go somewhere else 🤷♀️)
I’d say movies and tv series are the blame to the youth wish to live there… who hasn’t dreamed to be in the NY of “Friends” per example?
Then you start thinking that they had huge apartments and were almost never working and that doesn’t match with reality 🤣
When I was younger, I also though I’d be cool to work in America, but once you learn a bit about their conditions, it’s a big nope. Much better lifestyle in small cities with an average salary in EU and the 23 days vacation + 13 - 14 bank holidays. Mental health checks out. 😄
About the Prod on calls, even if you “volunteer”, depending on the country and kind of job, they have to paid those “on call” hours even if there’s no calls at the end, and if there’s work required, the pay is higher.
I’m like you, I wouldn’t exchange my free time no matter what. 🤘
Take the chance now to stablish rules for screenshots AND not allowing comics at the same time (I understand that it’s what you meant by “cartoons”, right?)
There is a community already for the latter here: !comics@lemmy.ml and if people like screenshots so much they can already create their own, as you said (def wont be joining that one myself 😅)
I found this one if you’re interested to replace it
