I was listening to “9-5er's Anthem” by Aesop Rock today, and the hook just stirred up some feelings in me and made me think about you guys. Have you heard it before? Here is the hook from the song, and a link to it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3tZtish6RPU?t=181 Now we the American working population hate the fact that eight hours a day is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us. And we may not hate our jobs but we hate jobs in general that don't have to do with fighting our own causes. We the American working population hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out when we'd rather be supporting ourselves by being paid to perfect the pastimes that we have harbored based solely on the fact that it makes us smile if it sounds dope Edit: formatting

How fucked up are their payroll system?
I used to work at a job where we apply labels to wires and plug them into connectors. One particular job they said that they were getting a lot of problems with people doing them incorrectly so they were very particular on how the labels were applied. At first the only thing I questioned them on was that for some reason they wanted us to apply one label on each of the cables then go through the work again and apply the other two even though it really didn't make much of a difference. The big problem was that they had us very specifically orientate the labels and a specific way because they were 'twisting' as the labels were applied, order of them being done one then two made no difference. After doing almost 300 of them the leads came back and said that they were done wrong and that…

I want more
So, I was surprised to be honest: I was contacted by a recruiter from a Swiss company on LinkedIn. When asked about the paycheck expectations I said 2 500 – 2 600 bruto, but now that I think about it more, I want to ask for more. Why more? Here are the reasons: they contacted me (even though they knew that I live in the Netherlands), I would have to move several countries away, job is in microbiology field and a quick Google search says that average salary for that field in Switzerland is around 3 000 euros, somewhere I even saw 4 000 euros. It was a fairly quick notice and I didn't have too much time to do some research amd prepare before the phonecall, but they suggested that we will remain in contact and even organise a video meeting. My question is are the reasons stated above…
