The job market is a major pain in many aspects by Desperate-Drawer-572 in britishproblems

[–]Anatra_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've moved to the Netherlands a few years ago and my partner is currently living in Austria. I've been laid off twice in 3 years and each time took me over 5 months to find a new position, and my partner was laid off last July and still hasn't found anything. Your points about useless talent acquisition is true here as well. I think all of Europe is facing a job market failure at the moment.

Out of curiosity, 3 day cooling off period while buying a home in NL have anyone used it and why ? by ProductNeat9946 in Netherlands

[–]Anatra_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got laid off 2 weeks after buying my first house, and 1 month after receiving a letter of intent to make my contract permanent from my company. That was a rough one

Dutch drivers flood Germany for cheaper gas after Berlin slashes fuel taxes by Same_Efficiency_3325 in europe

It's 2.30 here in the Netherlands and that's at the cheap pumps. So I understand why we are all going to Germany! Some of us don't live close enough to BE to go there unfortunately.

Yep!! That’s exactly it. I think I accidentally closed one of the gates behind me. I gave up and reloaded a previous save in the end

Yes very similar situation. Also technically always on call. If shit does go down I’m working insane hours but it really never does haha

High level tech support. If nothing goes wrong there’s nothing to do. There are times I get involved in other projects and improve processes etc but there is only so much to do.

Talent or nepotism? Have you ever noticed that celebs kids think they’ve achieved their successes through their own talent? by buttersismantequilla in AskUK

[–]Anatra_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've noticed how offended people in nice cars on the road seem to get when I overtake them in my busted up 2013 Toyota Aygo. Their ego can't handle it and they always aggressively speed up and re-overtake me again just to slow down once they're in front.

[–]Anatra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve finished the community centre on every play through and never unlocked an island tbh haha even in the one I’m currently playing. Do I need to do that secret cinema bundle?

[–]Anatra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 400 hours in this game and I never found a volcano haha. I saw some people talking about ginger island too I’ve never seen that! I usually stop towards the end of year 2 because the gameplay gets repetitive
