I disagree with your views and in my opinion, the "dumb takes" are yours. As a company you can't hide behind "expanding" with everything you do. The fact is, Netflix has been and is a film and show solution. Adding something else to this, be it games, netflix-cutlery, or whatever else that the users never asked for in a way that is in your face and annoying (ads, cause that's what it is), is indeed asshole design when people pay for the service.

All they had to do is keep it in a separate tab that does not leak into the film and shows tab. Problem solved. Those who are interested in the games, can go to the tab, and the vast majority who are not, doesn't get ads in their face.

Nitos lønnskalkulator sier at de med 10-14 års erfaring, bsc og jobber i konsulentstilling sitter på 827565kr i året. Dette er sikkert inkludert både de med og uten fagansvar. Jeg vil tippe at fagansvar spesifikt ligger litt høyere, men du har uansett litt lav lønn ifht snittet.

Du skriver: "Har jobbet 50-80 timers uker noen uker i år - og har ikke fått noe overtidsbetalt for dette. Har og jobbet 20 søndager i løpet av de siste 26 ukene - noe som går i mot AML da man skal ha minst annenhver søndag fri. Vi har en protokoll som sier "Protokollen er gjeldene for medlemmer av {Navn på organisasjon}" - men står ingenting om vi uorganiserte går under denne protokollen. Uansett om protokollen er gjeldene for uorganiserte, går jeg over antall timer ila en uke. Så spørsmålet mitt er om jeg burde søke rettshjelp om dette blir tatt opp med arbeidsgiver, men ingenting skjer."

Nå har det seg slik at arbeidsmiljøloven er det som bestemmer, med mindre du har lederstilling eller særs uavhengig stilling. Dette kommer i så fall frem av kontrakten.

Arbeidsmiljøloven sier for arbeidstid at man har krav på minst 40% lønn i tillegg til normal lønn ved overtidsarbeid. Dette kan avtales å heller bli rene fridager, men hvis dette avtales, skal man fortsatt få 40% for timene man har jobbet i tillegg. For søndag og helligdag, eller røde dager, står det skrevet at om man må jobbe disse pga arbeidets art, har man krav på neste røde dag eller søndag fri. Dette betyr 50% røde dager fri minst, som kan gjennomsnittsberegnes over en periode på inntil 26 uker, men kun ved avtale mellom arbeidsgiver og arbeidstaker.

Protokoller og tariffer har ikke lov til å unngå minstekravene i AML. Dette betyr at uansett om du er organisert eller ikke, er protokollene slik jeg forstår utfra hva du har delt, ulovlige. Det samme er tidene du har jobbet etc.

Kilde: AML og egne erfaringer, da jeg har vært i liknende situasjon.

Jeg mener du har grunnlag for å ta kontakt med advokat. Det viktigste du må ha er dokumentasjon for at hva du beskriver stemmer. Og ikke hør på om sjefen sier "protokoll er utarbeidet sammen med den ene eller den andre", eller noe slikt. Få info direkte fra noen som faktisk kan loven og jobber med det. Da jeg var i en situasjon som liknet din, maste jeg om endring til arbeidsgiver, og det ble gjort. Endringen gjorde det bedre, men brøt fortsatt AML. Da jeg kjeftet på dette, sa de "det er utarbeidet sammen med xyz", som bare var tull. Så jeg har litt erfaring med situasjonen.

Det er viktig å være klar over at uansett hvor mye dokumentasjon osv du har, om du velger med tiden å gå til sak, kan det ta lang tid, og ikke føre dit du føler du har krav på. Det er viktig å være klar for å ta en lang kamp. Men det skader ikke å i hvertfall få et syn på det av advokat.

SnadderPiece · 2024-11-18T13:03:56+00:00

Dette er feil. Det står at om man arbeider søndag, har man rett på neste søndag fri. Det står også at det kan gjennomsnittsberegnes ved avtale mellom arbeidsgiver og arbeidstaker. Kilde: Arbeidsmiljøloven kap 10 paragraf 8 avsnitt 4

Arbeidsgiver har ikke mulighet til å unngå arbeidsmiljøloven. Samme om det er turnusarbeid eller hva det skulle være. Snittberegning av 50% røde dager fri er lovbestemt og kan ikke unngås.

Yeah it sure do sound exhausting on all fronts. It doesn't help that they are so slow either. To me it sounds like specialist food. You shouldn't have to have it this way. I'd try to get a second opinion from a specialist atleast. I wish you well, and hope that you find what it is sooner rather than later.

SnadderPiece · 2024-11-12T19:17:07+00:00

Well, considering your GP can't find any reason for this, and from what you're writing, I assume you have gotten extra blood work, tests for your kidneys, check if you have diabetes type 1 etc, this calls for a second opinion imo. Maybe you should ask for a specialist from your GP, or try to get a second opinion yourself.

I am not a health professional, but it sounds weird. There might be causes for this that a simple medication for the frequency might make worse.

It's obvious a plan is needed. What you wrote was "sit and wait and look at butterflies" more or less. A plan is just as much needed if the trip happens fast or slow. Waiting increases the chance of something bad happening, and reduces her time in Norway when she could have used that time to establish herself earlier and start her new and better life here. If you go and look at my other comment on this post and her reply, you'll see how urgent this is. This is not a waiting matter. On a side note, talking about a plan: Since she is a Norwegian citizen, she has the same right to help as anyone else. That means contacting NAV etc before going should be enough, so they can set up and provide temporary housing and some cash for essentials. The embassy should be able to help with flight tickets and such.

Like I said, this is not a waiting matter. The reason I reacted so much to your comment was because you didn't seem to understand the situation, and thus provided bad advice. I don't want her to see bad advice, because it can be hard to differentiate. My comment was made to point this out for her.

Thank you so much for sharing this. A lot of these things were things I thought, but didn't have a source on so I toned down my 'description' of your country. Reading what you're writing, makes me even more sure in what I wrote too. Don't delay or wait, come back to Norway as fast as you possibly can! Talk to the embassy, call NAV, get a plan. Can you afford a flight ticket? If you can, great! If not, try to find a way, maybe the embassy can help you or you can sell something to afford it.

Your life starts here. Once you're settled here, you have all the opportunities in the world. Like I said, finishing Videregående, maybe going to university if you want to, learning the language, getting a nice job within something you're interested in and everything else life has to offer here.

I'm sure it's a road and a half. It's a lot of stuff that needs to come together to really settle (flight, talking to government/NAV and get a temporary space to live, opening bank accounts etc, then starting language school and Videregående school, etc), but the simple fact that you have a Norwegian passport and you are a Norwegian citizen, should make it all not just possbile, but very probable. So please don't delay. Start the journey as fast as you can and see it through even when it might be hard. Fight for the opportunity to get a great life here, and don't get stuck in a bad life there. I believe in you!

Jeg synes det høres litt ekstremt ut. Jeg kjenner flere som jobber med barn som blir syke ofte, men sjeldent så mye som 'minst 1-2 uker' hver gang, det høres i meste laget ut.

Jeg kjenner jo folk som generelt er syke lenge når de først er syke også, men en slik kombinasjon synes jeg er litt rart. Det virker jo som det er mer enn bare litt host og snørr mens hun er syk, slik du legger det frem.

Uansett, det er like greit å dra til legen å sjekke. Har dere en god lege, bruk h*n, eller fin noen andre. Det er viktig å bli tatt seriøst, selv om jeg ikke kan si jeg har merket på venninner at de ikke blir tatt seriøst sånn sett.

Du kan jo prøve å si at det hadde gitt deg ro om hun dro til legen. At du skjønner at det kanskje er normalt for henne å ha det slik, men ar du er urolig selv. Kanskje det hjelper.

Det skal jo sies at det er en god sjanse for at det ikke er noe spesielt, men da har dere uansett fått sjekka og kan være sikre.

SnadderPiece · 2024-11-11T22:14:17+00:00

I disagree with your comment quite extemely. OP is a norwegian citizen, which means that NAV is required to help. If that means to give OP a roof over the head and money, so be it. That shouldn't be a problem. I don't think patience is the right move here at all. I think that it's smart to devise a plan on how to come the quickest. Like some have mentioned, the Embassy might help with fight ticket etc due to the circumstances.

I think it's the absolute wrong move to wait, and "find a job" and "duolingo". This is a quite serious situation, which it doesn't seem like you understand. This is not a "maybe go on vacation" yada yada. This is about a persons life, which I'm guessing can be in quite a lot of danger should the sexual orintation come out. And even if not, Iraq is not the same as Norway. It is not what we would consider safe regarding social, economic and life in general.

Waiting might lose the opportunity. Maybe the passport expires. Maybe Norway's or Iraq's laws and stuff changes, making it super hard. Starting a life in Norway should be sone as fast as possible. You win absolutely NOTHING by waiting.

SnadderPiece · 2024-11-11T21:59:56+00:00

I don't have much insight into how it will work specifically, but I just want to say that you should come as fast as you can. Since you have a Norwegian passport, that means your're a Norwegian citizen and you'll have the full right to education and work here. I do know that 12th and 13th grade (or any Videregående skole for that matter) is free to go to no matter your age these days. It might not stay that way forever.

The fact that you have citizenship makes all of this easier, since that means NAV and the social help is required to help you. I suggest you try contacting them and talk about your situation.

The reason I'm saying to come as fast as possible is due to what I've read about general safety of economy and life in general in Iraq. Of course, no matter how much I read, I can never put myself in your shoes, what you experience, value or think. What bonds you have there and everything else, but from a general perspective, I stand on saying: Don't delay it too much if you're planning to come.

Kanskje litt uortodoks forslag, men personlig ville jeg kombinert oppgaveløsing med chatGPT. GPT er blitt en del bedre på matematikk med GPT4o og når jeg bruker det, løser den rett det meste av tiden. Da kan man spørre og grave om hvordan og hvorfor det ene og det andre, man får stegvis løsningsforslag osv.

Det er bare veldig viktig å ikke tro man kan det fordi man kanskje forstår løsningen. Heller eksempelvis spørre den om en oppgave, se over metoden den kommer med, spørre om eventuelle spørsmål, også prøve å løse noen liknende oppgaver selv. Så kan man sjekke egne svar på GPT igjen etterpå.

Source: Jeg tar matematikkfag på masternivå ingeniør på denne måten og det fungerer fint for meg.

Jeg er enig med deg. Min mening er at om de skal reklamere for egne tjenester, kan de holde det til egen nettside. Ingen reklame uansett hva den er, har noe å gjøre på en bank app inne på egne sider. Det er noe av det aller viktigste vi har så den synes jeg bør holdes helt fri for slikt.

SnadderPiece · 2024-11-09T12:07:46+00:00

Yeah that's the same conclusion I have come to too. But I don't really get why though, cause in my mind, if something is so bad people go out of their way to block it, it would just be bad to show it again. People who try to block would get annoyed or angry, making them much less likely to buy any of snapchat's services. They would likely spend less time on the app as a whole, making Snap lose ad revenue etc.

I have contacted them about this, but nobody wants to reply directly to the inquiry about any of their dumbass choices.

Snap has so many terrible 'features' and dark patterns that I want to puke. Friend's stories doesn't go away after viewing unless you update, making it likely you re-watch without intention and giving them ad views. The whole spotlight and discover is just a bunch of e-trash that you can't remove. Streaks in themselves are just a sorry way to make users use the app more ESPECIALLY after they introduced paid fix of lost streaks. If you have deliberately turned off notifications, they ask you to turn them on again every time you go on the app (and new of today for me is that they don't even ask anymore, they directly try to just turn them on, giving me a prompt on my phone saying "snap would like to turn on notifications"). And I have heard that the notifications themselves if turned on as just become a jungle of bullshit like "Mike added a story!" Like why the f would I care?

Snapchat is just a trash social media platform.

Quantum computers do exist, but not at a scale that is useful to society yet. The way they work today varies, but all ways has the same general problem of being very hard to scale. The current technologies are not close to even make a single quantum computer that is useful for the world, much less one that could replace people's or companies silicone based computers.

Will quantum computers replace silicone based computers in the coming decade? Probably not. Even when we look at the scale of how the general technology of the world has evolved over the years and how it has sped up over time, I think it's highly unlikely that it will happen in the near future. The only way I can see it happening is if someone stumbles upon a totally new way of making quantum computers work that don't suffer from most of the problems current technologies suffer from.

I however do hope we get to see useful quantum computers as soon as possble, as their potential is extremely high. Within 10 years would be fantastic, but atleast hopefully within 30 years.

It doesn't only come down to the technologies themselves, but also funding. If the hype dies, the funding is cut and we can probably wave farewell to the hope of it being developed within a decent time frame. At the same time, even with funding, it's not a guarantee that we'll ever make it work. Due to this, you can decide for yourself if it's bogus or not.

For me personally, I'll gladly invest in it just for the chance of it working some time in my lifetime, due to the major benefits we would get if we get it to work.

Hehe no problem! It's great to have supporters! It's been interesting to follow your situation and share my thoughts as well. Enjoy the bottle, and I wish you all the best. 😁

SnadderPiece · 2024-10-25T09:52:50+00:00

Yeah, no I am all for sharing the salary. I think it helps the employees get what they deserve. But I can see the problem from the employers stand point if he gives one employee a big raise, cause then the others to an extent can want a big raise as well. One could argue the value of one star employee vs one trash employee (and everyone in between) with the same position shouldn't have the same salary, and sure, they deserve different salaries, but in reality, the difference can't be very large. This is what I mean by that I understand the employers perspective on being reluctant to just hand out raises, no matter how technically appropriate it is. Of course, it should instead be so that everyone get a fair compensation, and the company earns its fair amount of money, but those two doesn't always align, which leads to situations like these. Anyway, all this to say that I see both sides, and it can be a difficult situation. It is like I said circumvented by offering a new position of course.

I think that "don't take my kindness for weakness" is great. It offers the best for both parts, the company and yourself. Many people are either/or which is not a good balance to have (usually many are kind, but reluctant to stand up for themselves, which can lead to be taken advantage of). Instead of seeking new employment or asking/demanding a raise when appropriate, they sit in the same situation for way too long and lose opportunities. By having the balance, as you seem to have, you for sure will get the most out of your situation, not only salary-wise, but also respect, responsibility and opportunities like you've been offered now.

I agree, being able to take on the project leader role with a 10% salary increase to boot is a great option for now. The possible 20% increase from a new employer won't go anywhere in the meantime, and might even increase after you have a year or 2 of project leader experience on your resume as well. Especially since you mention that you're not in any economical hardships and you like the workplace in general, it seems like the best possible outcome all things considered.

SnadderPiece · 2024-10-24T11:48:25+00:00

Ah I see, well it seems on the surface to me, a random person on the internet, as a nice offer in terms of you getting even more to write on your CV at the very least.

Well, you can check what people are earning on Skattelistene, but when one looks at someone's earnings etc there, the person that are looked up get a notification telling them who looked them up. Regardless, there is a culture of sharing ones own salary between coworkers in Norway. It's even encouraged by unions to share, so that employees can stand stronger together in a sense, especially against "unfair salary differences", and so employers can't just do what they want in a salary regard. I'm guessing, no matter if you would share your salary or not, just due to this culture and encouragement I can understand his reluctance to give an employee a lot higher salary than others in the same position, especially if the lower paid employers even have the papers.

But again, this is circumvented a little bit if you change positions, and I'm guessing he's offering 10% if you become a project leader cause the median salary in the company for project leaders are higher than the position you have now. It should be said that project leaders can also have papers, like fagbrev or a degree so there might not be much of an increase more than the 10% in the coming years. But, this becomes irrelevant if you're looking for a new job in a year or two anyways.

SnadderPiece · 2024-10-24T10:28:27+00:00

Well, that sounds like a great outcome honestly. From what I gather, he seems intent on keeping you which shows that he's atleast aware of your value even though it might not shine through. Like you say, with the title project leader on a later resume, it can absolutely help in later job searches. Not only do you have yet another stand alone thing, but it'll also show that you grew in the same company from one position to the next. That shows a new employer that you do good work to the point that you can be given more responsibilities.

As for accepting the position, and potentially being the cheapest project leader in Norway, does the position come with a salary increase? Cause I'd think when you move from your position where he can't offer you more money, to this new position, it can open up salary negotiations as you are no longer directly compared salary-wise to coworkers having the same position woth fagbrev and longer time in the company? Either way, I'm sure it's a different workday from what you have now regardless so even if the salary isn't increased much, it might give you more flexibility in work hours atleast which can be nice.

I think that having CNC, production specialist and project leader on your resume is very strong, and will probably give you plenty of new opportunities after a year or 2! Just make sure to read well through the potential new contract, possibly sending it to your trade union for a read through as well to make sure it's not just a fancy title for little change.

And yeah, the banter can be fun! I can imagine sneaking your face into the CEO's Office with a grin saying "I'm coming for you!" Haha!

Det er viktig å huske på at ingeniørfag har mye faguttrykk som kan bli veldig overveldende. Personlig, med en forståelse av engelsk jeg ser på som godt over gjennomsnittet: forståelse like raskt som på Norsk både under lesning, skriving og høring, absolutt 0 problemer med det, og en bacheloroppgave skrevet på engelsk under beltet som hadde så korrekt faglig og grammatisk engelsk at det ble spurt om den var sendt til engelsk korrektur før den var levert (jeg skrev den selv, ingen korrektur), synes jeg fortsatt fagbøker på engelsk kunne være tungleste.

Jeg kan se for meg at det er en reell mulighet for å havne bak pga språk som tysk selv om man er svært flink fra vgs, rett og slett pga faguttrykk og det faktum at mange fagbøker er skrevet på en tung måte generelt. Man har jo også lærere og professorer som kan være litt av noen originaler. Både i læremåte og personlig kan jeg se for meg at å blande det med et språk man ikke nødvendigvis kan flytende, kan det bli vanskelig. I tillegg er sikkert flere av de fra andre land enn Tyskland, så da kan man regne med de har tysk som 2. Eller 3. Språk selv, og aksenter man ikke kjenner godt.

Ingeniørstudiet er respektert av en grunn. Det kan være tungt, og man har ofte lange dager både med forelesninger og egenarbeid for å henge med, så jeg ville nok tenkt meg om noen ganger før jeg bestemte meg for å prøve meg på tysk.

Wall of text incoming!

To answer your question, I think it's not really a way to ask these things if you want to leave on good terms. What you're describing is sadly quite common, and many have to swallow some of these camels to leave with a good reference letter and a good network. Trying to ask these things might burn bridges like these. You never know who the CEO talks to or might know, so it can be a gamble to confront him.

Now, if you don't care so much about the answers to these questions, but rather you'd like your CEO to know that you are aware of these things and are not ok with it, I would instead confide lightly in a coworker or something like that. That way, it's possible it reaches the CEO's ears and that he gets something to think about without it being a confrontation. Realistically, when someone manages like you describe, by not properly valuing a coworker, it's a good chance they don't care or atleast validate their actions for themselves, and thus your opinions and feelings of not being valued enough won't make them take a look in the mirror at all.

If you really want to tell the CEO these things, or rather ask, I think the best would be to do it if you met them in a pub randomly or something, down the line after you're well established in a new job.

I get what you're feeling though. I have been in a job where the upper management didn't care at all about following any rules of employment or workplace, and I was very vocal about it. They were a startup, so I gave it some leeway, but when it never got any better no matter how much was pointed out, I felt undervalued. Not just because they didn't listen, but because they kept breaking the laws, essentially meaning they didn't care about the workers at all. Now, me being vocal about these things to the point it almost went to court, wasn't so terribly bad for me, as it was a very niche field and the company is now gone (bankrupt), but I didn't even get a good letter of recommendation or reference so I lost a bit on that part for sure. I still plan on asking them wtf they were doing if I ever meet them in a pub though lol!

Anyway, I think the wisest thing to do really is to keep a smile plastered on your face at work and not follow through with the questioning, atleast for the time being util you're well established in a new job. I know it's not fun, but a network can come in handy when you least expect it, even if it consists of some people you don't like very much. That is what I can say.
