RE: Oh, how I miss this valley

in GEMS5 years ago

That's normal here - we get our money once at the beginning of the month on our bank account. Of course, there might be some jobs where you get paid weekly or even daily, but I wouldn't know any.
Most of the things we have to pay monthly are paid in the first days of the month (rent, insurances...), so I don't see a problem with getting the salary in one piece ;)

I think we have more regulations about working times and such than you have over there, and it's not that easy for companies to fire employees.

Oh, very interesting sir johannpiber. Over here, unless it is a government job, anyone can be fired for anything at any time and there are no regulations about working times except that any time worked over 40 hours is supposed to be overtime pay.

I don't think people would put up with getting paid just once a month over here. Almost all pay is done weekly.

Yes, 40 hours a week is normal here too and every hour more should be paid better and more.
I think you are used of your system and we are used of ours, although I think our system is better for the employees.

Cheers and !BEER

Yes, it sounds like your system is better for the employees but our government jobs here are probably similar. It's dang near impossible to get fired from a government job here. So the government workers are famous for being lazy and not caring about anything because they know they don't have to.

Right, I could do almost anything, even go to jail, but still they couldn't fire me ;) lol
But that depends on what I would have done, of course, and although they could not fire me, they have other possibilities to punish me.

They are famous for that around the world and it might be true for many government workers, but times have changed and calling "all of them" lazy and not caring about anything is wrong.


!BEER

Well, calling all of them lazy is an exaggeration but in the U.S. it isn't a big exaggeration at all. lol.

I know many of them too and many of them are exactly how you say.
They are a problem, because they only cost the money of the tax payers, which includes me and makes me sometimes really angry.

Cheers and !BEER

Howdy tonight sir johannpiber! We have always known that government workers were generally bad as far as attitude and laziness but when Mrs. J. joined the county government as a jail guard we couldn't believe how bad it was.

We didn't know it was possible to be at work all day and get paid for doing nothing. lol. At least half the workers there would be fired immediately if they worked for a private company!
