Obviously? As obviously as my butchered Nazi/facist Joke ;) now I see it. Thx

Sorry but this is just stupid. Even for 196, where we all go after putting out last brain cells in the jar on the nightstand.

Nope, sry to be a little bit picky here but the definition of a Nazi is more or less “rassist fascist”. But bot vice versa. Have for example a look atBrazilians integralism. Or Salazar’s regime in Portugal .

If you weaken those definitions you will trivialize what Nazis did. It is so so so much worse then “simple facism”, pleas excuse this awful term in lack of any better

It was ja joke. Someone who is very particular about the meaning of words is sometimes called a “word Nazi” but it should be “word fascist”. Tried to play on it and forgotten that nobody outside Germany has any association with this m)

I agree. Just as a little reminder. Methadone was initially invented by literal Nazis. It was designed to Combat Opium shortage in field hospitals.

Nobody would say: hey, let us not use this extremely helpful drug because Nazis contributed a lot to it.

On the other side: I would never give a Nazi company money to produce it. Two different scenarios

Yes they are. It is just more precise. Fascism itself is not inherently racist or has some kind of master race. Neo Nazis do.

And of course calling him a fascist is not inherently false. But just leaves out 80% of it

I never had contact with this part of the hyprland community. I had quiet son in dep discussions with maintainers and a currently 5k lines deep in, in removing technical depts from the codebase.

I never had anything but pleasent communications.

I would love to see some examples (and if someone uses the terms highly toxic and rife with fascist I expect a lot examples) of this.

Be aware, as a German, I am highly sensitive on the missuse of the term fascist. For example many use the term fascist to describe Trump. That is not true. Trump is straight out a fucking Neo Nazi

That is how I expect it at every company! Great!

Oh, ok. Well, we have 40 hour weeks per law, and a maximum working time of 10hours per day, so we can do the same l, and my employer is fine with it.

Thanks!

I don’t see why this pool should logically get smaller. In the other hand though, the USA avoids the way, other countries are handling job training , like the devil water.

No, skilled labor gets more important from day to day. But it costs more. So let’s hire people that will settle for less, and kick them out if they reach there limit.

In most countries, you have a multi year on the job training + school before you consideres a skilled worker in this job. I for example carry the title of a “Journeyman of Electronics and Communication”. I am not working in this field anymore, but usually, most people stay with that they learned.

Long ramble short: no the pool of skilled jobs is shrinking, capitalism is expanding

I was so lucky in the past. Now I am working directly under higher management. Dude, things change up here … First of all: no team. Only multiple managers with projects, timelines and the need of me for those projects.

But, as mentioned, the common base stays the same.

Can you explain 9x9 to me? That’s confusing. 24x7, 8x5 yeah. But you can’t mean that notation? Or did the US finally change to a 10 day week?

We have a mixture. We have laws mandate minimum to vacation time, that the employer must respect the preferred dates for the free time as stated by its employees and only may deny or cancel vacation if the company would take major damage. And major as in: we have to let people go or even close major.

If the employer cancels your vacation, he must compensate you in full for all financial losses due to bookings for example.

In addition, paid time off and working hours are if course also benefits that could be used to attract employees

30 days vacation/ year , to 38 hour week, working from wherever I want, even in some pool in some hotel, and of course, paid sick leave. That is my current luxury.

And don’t forget: about 10 work free holidays per year ;)

In my 24 years in the workforce, I ran into such a situation once. And I moved my vacation 3 days and everything was fine. It is not very common. I just mentioned it because I think that it illustrates some back thought on the whole concept very well: employee and their families are important.

Another thing: legally an employer can only deny vacations if your absence would mean major damage for the company.

And if already approved absences are canceled, the company have to compensate you for flights and other bookings. In full

Yes, no. We have strict school attendece laws (and no homeschooling btw), so you can’t just do some vacation sometimes else this year.

Also, the kids have a right to free time and vacation.

And: traveling outside school breaks is far more convenient anyways… no kids at the pool

If communicated and part of the deal, great. I personally think that an employment benefits both parties. And with the mentioned curtisyz that works well.

For example, I leave early for appointments, in the last weeks we had some troubles, so dinner for the hole family was on the employer, a while week of takeouts.

So, if my employer tells me that my vacation colides with a project, I am certain that he checked every possibility, and we try to find solutions, like interruptijg the vacation for a day and taking part in meetings from my hotel room.

And if I can not trust my employer enough, then I move on. I am in the lucky position that the stuff I do, most people can’t.

Over here in Germany where everybody has at least 3 weeks paid time off (being ill does not count to this contingent btw), it is common that leaves are planned in the beginning of the year for larger vacations, so there are no collisions.

Also, if you have children you have priority during school breaks for paied leaves.

This concept could be copied by us employers also, I wonder why not? Maybe because this way you can pressure your employees with your vacation as leverage

Great to hear. The ID7 may be the game changer for VW after all

I have seen a view ID. 7 on the streets, yew. But mostly:

• BMW i4, i5, Xi*
• Kia
• Mercedes

At work two colleagues became an electricial Audi. Both of them got toed to the next shop within the first two weeks because something just broke.

German electric car driver here.

VW has a bad reputation regarding EVs. Their butchered woke of their models so much, they went up in flames.

Other EVs seem to go better. BMW dominates the market for German EV I think

Just for context
