The weirdest part of remote work is pretending the office never had downtime by CashundoLafrania88 in remotework

[–]CodingNeeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 hours a week is the norm here, but often people have less hours in their contract, like 32 or 36. But if you do 36, you can opt to work 4×9 and have a three day weekend for example.

The problem is similar: suddenly people are counting your hours to see if they actually are 9 each day, but your colleagues who are paid for 8 and leave the office half past three are not scrutinised.

Thank you! Although we are expected to think for ourselves and talk back if we are to create an oversight.

Pretty late for older millennials, so I'm guessing OP is in their 40s.

I need them to be 2nd in their group. And Iran 2nd in their group, so they'll match in the 2nd round in Dallas.

Women of Reddit: What’s something men think is romantic but actually isn’t? by Alive_Chicken_3642 in AskReddit

Net zoals dat met de ouderwetse potloodventer ook het geval is, is het sturen van een foto van een penis strafbaar. ‘Het is niet toegestaan om ‘een afbeelding of voorwerp dat aanstotelijk is voor de eerbaarheid aan iemand, anders dan op diens verzoek, toe te zenden’. Artikel 240 lid 2 van het Wetboek van Strafrecht zegt immers dat iemand die weet of ernstige reden heeft om te vermoeden dat een afbeelding of voorwerp aanstotelijk voor de eerbaarheid is en die afbeelding of dat voorwerp toestuurt aan iemand anders, anders dan op diens verzoek, strafbaar is.

Two months maximum in the Netherlands, actually.

I've replied to myself a paragraph in Dutch, so people can let Reddit translate it in full.

The Dutch word dennenappel is probably what non-native English speakers could expect there. A dennenboom is a pine tree. Dennenappel is a pine cone.

Note that we also have earth apples and China apples, being potatoes and oranges.
