So, most apparentments I can get here with an area of 35 square metres (370 square feet) to 50 square metres (540 square feet) go from 450€ to 650€ a month unless you live in a major city like Vienna or Graz. 35 square metres already is pretty decent, I don't think you would need anything bigger unless you have kids, even living together with a partner 50 square metres is perfectly fine. So for other monthly expenses, you can get food for a person without eating out for around 80-100€ a month. Heating is around 120-160€ a month but it varies Water single person about 30€ a month Electricity got pretty expensive recently so you could propably pay 80-100€ a month. Other commodities like internet, streaming services, subscriptions, phone provider should add up to around 100€ a month if we are generous. Last but not least transport if you…

I'm over it. I've been lurking here for a while and decided it's time to call it quits with my job. I thought I got lucky, I thought I had finally found the good one, the answer to what the question of what fuck I've been doing with myself, but I was wrong. And today, I'm going to quit. Yesterday I had a pretty big issue. I went to service a piece of equipment, and let them know that had X not happened at Y time in the order it was currently happening in, a catastrophe up to and including loss of life could occure. They didn't have the authority to make that call to prevent damage and the loss of life , so I asked to speak to whoever was in charge. As I was explaining what was in danger of immediately happening if they didn't correct the issue…

I see on this sub all the time that work friends AREN'T real friends – I get that this is true a lot of the time, but a lot of the time it also isn't true. I met my wife in one office I worked in. I met my best man in another office. I hated both of those jobs, but they both changed my life. I'm as anti-work as the next person, I'm 36 and have about 5 years left in me before I go full Falling Down, but I just want to say that you can make real, meaningful connections in horrible places. FuckWork

This could be the wrong sub for this but: I’ve broken my heel bone outside of work today. I work 14 days on 7 off. Since I’m the only source of income in my household, I’m sort of panicking on what to do. Do i have any options since this happened outside of work such as workmans comp etc, or am i fucked?

Hey guys, I recently got a pretty good job offer, I told my current Boss (we always had a good working relationship) and she is trying really hard to get me to stay (negotiating a bonus and a pay raise with HR for me, trying to convince me verbally etc.) We agreed that I would think about it and tell her my decision on friday, yesterday she wrote me an email with all her Points why I should stay which included this: [Translated into English] ” Is this the new company? #linktonewcompany …rethink this decision I say this with good reason!!! I am not sure you will be 100% happy there. With us it might also not be 100% but definitely 95% I talked to [her boss]. She also said you should really think about this because you have so many oppurtunities with us!!! She also knows the new company…

Currently my whole state is covered in smog from the wildfires in Canada. I work in a warehouse and yesterday the place was filling with smoke from outside. Of course since it’s a warehouse we have all the dock doors open and are constantly unloading/loading trucks and bringing in the new trailers. It took a few hours but by the end of the day this huge warehouse was smokey. Instead of letting us leave, “safety” has been going around and giving people Covid masks to work in and they closed the “unused” dock doors as a solution. Apparently employees were complaining to the Gm who didn’t see an issue with allowing us to keep working. I’m in a panic because I have pretty bad asthma. Even going outside has been dangerous/scary. I swear if I walk into work today and the place is smokey/hazy I’m gonna turn and leave. It…
