general

there is no incentive to get a better job if you can make that much flipping burgers or driving a garbage truck

if they're actually paying 40% in taxes (no idea what taxes are like in Switzerland)

I can imagine 40% being the case

no, I mean if it's a realized tax of 40%, or if its assessed some other way

if they lose 50% of their salary to taxes, getting paid $25 is less crazy

it does not exceed 40% apparently it varies wildly by region

Geneva is the only one that matters

yeah see, these are the things I just don't know

because they have federal, and municipal, and whatever cantonal income taxes

its like states

okay

so they divide by city, state, and federal

I wish instead of pushing minimum wage increases for the sake of pandering

I wish more liberals would push a 4-day work week

that's a movement I can get on board with

i like my every other friday off

1 day work week, redefine a day to be 168 hours long

Wouldn’t that still be less money spooky

not if you adjust wages accordingly

fair

40 hours is arbitrary, I don't think it's a worthless number

but it's never tied into productivity, andd only matters for administrative and tax purposes

the minimum still wouldn’t change though and they would see it as a way for big industry to make them work less to keep more money

7 hours a day has been shown to be the maximum you can get good work out of people

So, my company sent everyone home for Corona, and we all did basically nothing for 6 months

productivity fell from 100% to 90%

and management is kind of astounded

That’s

Surprising

Very surprising

this is when we find out spooky works a meme job

it's suprisingly not me, I manage the people working meme jobs

Spooky works at a mattress store

how do those make money

How do they even stay afloat

they are 90% of the time a front for the mob

“Time to get my weekly mattress”

everything must go

it just turns out, that even without 6 months of work, things kind of keep coasting

like a runaway freight train

I can’t believe they get more than 10 customers a week

I have been praised for my accomplishments at my job and I have probably worked maybe 25 hours a week on average

You know where the best matresses are Ikea

is this a joke

i cant tell

What

no, I really like Ikea mattresses

Me not understanding mattress stores?

whats so special about the ikea mattress spooky

yes its a joke 99% are a front for the mob

enlighten me

if you go to a matress store

90% of what theyre trying to sell you is a gimick

I should ask fire

but the memory foam

as bopit knows, fire is a god at ikea

motorized bullshit, temperpedic, special foam, whatever

And the custom elevation

Ikea, it's just mattreses

i see

no bullshit

i get it

That was very funny to me spooky

I read that like a Russian was saying it

I have never been to a matrass specific store

the downside to Ikea

they don't have special sizes

I forget where I bought mine, but it was a generalized furniture store

“Mattres store try to sell bullshit. But ikea, it just mattress”

I want to get an Alazkan King bed

but they don't exist

unless I custom order one

which seems really gay

get a todler bed

and all the websites that sell them, feel like a MyPillow ad

you want to slip into one anyways
