The Wacken Hot Tub (General Chat)

I'm off. See you tomorrow

Yeah, I work full time. The arrangement is that we work 40 hours a week and get paid for 38 hours, then one day every 4 weeks we can have a day off and get paid as normal. We can have up to 38 hours of unpaid hours before we have to use them up. That's how I got away with having a 5 week holiday this year We are entitled to 4 weeks of paid holidays a year, but if we don't use them they can carry over for one more year...and that's how I got away with 7 week holidays in 2010 and 2012

I get 26 paid holidays a year but I can never use all of them at once because there aren't enough people in my team to cover for a long continuous absence, so my manager would never approve of a leave of more than 6-8 days at a stretch.

Good Morning everyone

Good morning, Koldawne (I have no idea how to pronounce that... is that your name?)

 

[dishayu]

Oh good! That's a relief. I actually tend to prefer external mice for laptops.

I use a steelseries kinzu with my laptop. Hate the trackpad as well.

 

[dishayu]

Doing fine, stressed my back a little with some weights on Tuesday night so its a bit stiff now. How's your day gone (since it's almost over for you)?

Hope your back gets well soon.

My day has been quite cheerful. Today I enrolled for a racing lesson on 19-20th October at a racetrack near me. Pretty happy and excited about it

Here I work 8 hours/day and get paid for 7.5 (they do not pay for 1/2 hour lunch) I also don't get vacation, benefits or paid sick days. If I want to take days off I don't get paid.

O_O That sounds horrible for a non-3rd world country.

Are you like a temporary employee or something like that?

Over here we work for 9h25m per day and get paid for 8 hours (45m lunch, 2 x 15m breaks)

I'm off. See you tomorrow

Let me know if you take my offer, and if yes, where you're going to then!

Apparently the METAL TRAIN will start selling its tickets!

Edit Piaf vergat: G'night!

 

[dishayu]

Besides, if I got a promotion, a position would have to become available, and I'd have to apply for it. I'm at a level 3 now, so a level 4 would be a supervisor...no thank you

You're suggesting you wouldn't want to be promoted? That's a bit weird :S

I get 26 paid holidays a month but I can never use all of them at once because there aren't enough people in my team to cover for a long continuous absence, so my manager would never approve of a leave of more than 6-8 days at a stretch.

Tell me, who's your boss! I want that too!

I get paid for taking vacation! (as the working month here has 20 to 22 days)



I guess you mean 26 paid holidays per YEAR!

I have to wait for my concerts.

Amon Amarth in November. Lamb of God in January and also in January, Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

But if Trivium is to come to Belgium, I'll keep an eye on them.

BTW, comment vont les Alouettes?
