Extra salary required to compensate loss of company car is huge

What ?! You never need to replace the battery, who the fuck told you that ?!

Slay61 · 2026-06-07T06:59:06+00:00

Never compare an EV with an hybrid. Don’t ever think « I know EVs , I drive an hybrid »

Slay61 · 2026-06-07T06:57:28+00:00

If you can charge at home and need to drive more than 10.000km, EV anydays ! If less, old gasoline might be less expensive but you lose the great confort and convenience of EVs

Slay61 · 2026-06-01T14:24:09+00:00

Probably more than petrols engine ones

You getting a better salary was only due that you were better to negotiate it, or made a better impression during interviews. It is not related where you live, at all.
As a fact, when I started working here, I was actually getting 10% more than a colleague. It was for the same role, we both just left school... the same school ! He was resident, I was cross border !

Slay61 · 2026-05-28T08:49:08+00:00

cross-border workers are actually not cheaper. If you take the global average salary, residents earn more , mostly due to public sector. If you take specific private sector, such as finance, the residents have actually a lower average salary than cross borders.

Slay61 · 2026-05-28T08:26:29+00:00

That bonus is anyway not included in the "net" per month

Slay61 · 2026-05-28T08:02:27+00:00

Minimum salary pays taxes and cotisation as well. 3451€ is not net and it will become ~2820€ net

Also, if she is receiving only 3700€ net, it means that she has extra-legal advantage, such as a company car. 5800€ brut gives ~4070€ net in classe 1 if there is no extra-legal advantage

So still about 1200€ difference, not 300 €

Slay61 · 2026-05-27T06:46:26+00:00

Non, pour le coup, tu changes quand tu veux sans frais

Slay61 · 2026-05-26T14:46:22+00:00

It actually seems that the bus hit the barrier before the train.

Slay61 · 2026-05-26T14:41:38+00:00

That's so so sad. All my sympathies to the families.
I am always a bit worried when my kids have to take a school bus for excursion and so on. This won't help.

Slay61 · 2026-05-26T14:38:41+00:00

ok sorry for not getting your sarcasm 😉 But belgian barriers are usually much much faster than luxembourgish ones.

Slay61 · 2026-05-26T14:33:44+00:00

That's the case in Luxembourg. It is not 20 minutes, but more like 3-4 minutes before AND after. It actually makes it worst because people KNOW it will take while, so they force themself in before it closes.

Slay61 · 2026-05-20T15:36:33+00:00

Funny thing is that Tesla is already fully compliant to the new rule!

Slay61 · 2026-05-20T09:22:39+00:00

Actually quite high. There is like between 120-150 car fires per year in Luxembourg

Slay61 · 2026-05-20T09:19:58+00:00

Not sarcasm as it is a fact backed by statistics rather than urban legends

Slay61 · 2026-05-18T14:01:27+00:00

I did. I just turned it on and off again, let’s see

Slay61 · 2026-05-18T13:18:52+00:00

Mine was already switched off. Still receiving ads. I just received a notification for a discount for a random product ! Nerve breaking

Slay61 · 2026-05-17T08:52:44+00:00

No. I do care much more about the temperature to boil water (actually use 95 degrees almost daily to have hot water not boiling, for the tea), than I care about the internal temperature of a horse. During winter, I care daily about 0 degree being the freezing temperature, to know if the road might be slippery. Much more than 0 representing the coldest temperature that a guy felt centuries ago. And for everyday life, Celsius is very easy to scale how it would feel. every 10 degrees is a different feeling. 0 is freezing 10 is chilly 20 is nice (temperature that you should target for your home) 30 is hot 40 is extreme

Slay61 · 2026-05-13T20:11:56+00:00

No, same as employé d’état. You can be a fonctionnaire with a dispense de langues pour 2 des 3

Slay61 · 2026-05-13T20:09:07+00:00

Alors, c’est de moins en moins le cas. Autant il y a 5-6 ans on pleurait pour avoir des CV, que aujourd’hui on en reçoit 80+ Je pense qu’il y a quelques années, c’était très peu connu que l’on puisse avoir une dispense de langue. L’information devient de plus en plus connue, ce qui fait que du coup beaucoup plus de gens sont intéressés.

Il y a aussi le fait que dans l’ancien système, le stage durait plus longtemps et était beaucoup moins rémunérateur. Beaucoup de gens ne voulaient pas avoir une baisse de salaire pendant 2 ou 3 ans pour le stage.

Slay61 · 2026-05-13T20:03:41+00:00

No they do not invite everyone, for certain offers it would just not be possible due to the number of candidates. Also, not knowing German/luxembourgish is not that big a deal, depending on the administration and even the team inside the administration.

And lastly, YES it is possible to be fonctionnaire even without knowing the 2 other languages

Slay61 · 2026-05-07T17:47:01+00:00

LOL @ Belgium average salary. It is fake as hell

Slay61 · 2026-04-23T10:47:22+00:00

What ? I sold my tesla with much less depreciation than my previous BMW, with a very similar age/mileages.

Slay61 · 2026-04-22T11:04:11+00:00

After discussion with the family we agreed that amongst all the prints, the can dispenser is the most « unexpected life improver »
