Antiwork

Was wondering about this. With no kids, not married in Germany and 50k income before taxes, you'll pay about 500€ of public health insurance per month. Doctor visits are free, hospitals around 10€ per night, medicine with prescription will cost a fixed price of 5€. For comparison, 50 pills of Ibuprofen 400mg (no prescription necessary) cost 5€ as well. You're covered anywhere inside the EU.

I know this probably isn’t anything new and most definitely not unique to my situation, but I think it’s bullshit how even when you use company-allotted vacation days, you and your paycheck amount still end up paying for it. I work 5 10s M-F and anywhere from 5-7 hours on Saturday, for a total of 55-57 hours a week. Well this last week, I had a court date to go to so I took a vacation day, so at least I’d get paid still. Well I checked my email paystub last night and it said 40 Regular, 8 Vacation and 7 Overtime, but my Vacation was ofc paid out as normal time. So I went from usually 40 Regular and 15-17 Overtime to essentially 48 Regular and 7 Overtime, so my check was significantly less due to less 1.5 time. This might be super menial and dumb, but I hate…

Im in the process of applying for multiple new jobs but I’d rather work for myself. Any advice on how to get started? So glad I get to leave that toxic environment!

I don’t want better hours or wage I just don’t want to work, never. No unions just unmediated hate
