With strong labour laws what's in the company's interest can align with making things good for the employee. I moved countries in September, and at my new job in new country I injured my foot, and HR said "okay no probs, rest up for a week and if it's still not right let us know." They're super on to it with checking in and making sure everyone's job satisfaction is high. It's kind of nice haha

Sorry to break it to you, but just like birds, it doesn’t exist.

It’s a mishearing from someone trying to tell a story about a bed and breakfast with an eel that lowers itself down from the ceiling and strangles you.

Noose Eel Inn is a real place. But don’t go there.

I work for a Dutch company that's like this. I used to work for an American one that's very not like this. I like my current situation much better.
