My company had a year where they earned $500M after tax, which was equivalent to an earning of $3.5M per employee, and I got a bonus of $6000 which was the standard bonus for all employees weighted compared to their annual salary.
That summer we had our yearly summer party in a tent on our parking lot…

When they make that much money, why don’t they hire another 30 or 60 people so everyone can have a normal 32h work week? Are the employee benefits really that good that it’s worth it? I hope they are much more than just pizza. Why would you let yourself be exploited by them, on such an insane level that you are willing to work almost triple work weeks? They are stealing your life while having the financial luxury to just hire more. Have you talked to your union? Work to live, don’t live to work mate.

Lol there isn’t a union here and my coworkers are too brainwashed to understand that a union would benefit them.
I would love for a Danish company to headhunt me and yank me over to Denmark. I don’t think that’s gonna happen though.

32 hours? I can get that done in like 3 shifts…where can I find this so-called job? I’m so interested already.

Europe. With benefits, decent holidays, no limited number of sick days, can’t get fired without a proper reason (or you can sue them with a high probability of getting compensation or getting your job back). In Sweden the standard work week is 32 hours. In the Netherlands 36 but many do 32. Here in NL we have extra holiday money and often a 13th month payout. Irregular shifts have bonuses and extra time off, and aren’t allowed to be too long shifts. Not that all jobs are decent, but at least the law protects employees and many employers want employees to stay, so they are treated properly. There are also tax cuts for the first job you have, it just doesn’t apply to other jobs if you have multiple. And you build up a pension if you’re not self employed. I’d like to see the minimum wage to be raised, and equal in the entire EU. So there’s definitely room for improvement. But compared to the US it’s heaven.

Probably a combo of profiteering and a low number of applicants.
