A £3 tesco gift card. Seriously. Just saw a tesco employee complaining about it on reddit.

    The more I read what westerners say about their life, the more questions I have. Like here in Russia almost everywhere we get our monthly wage as a new year gift at work. How tf you survive 😭

    Not to mention that neither I, not the people I know had any problems with employment, you can always find a job you like with decent wage (like default cashier gets like 4-6x minimal wage)

      We don’t. We praise the EU and build tanks.

      Bur honestly, living costs are keep going up, the job market is very stale and rigid so you’re stuck with a shit job. Salaries are barely keeping up with inflation. And we’re talking of a 2% inflation in the Eurozone. Add on top the austerity measures across most EU countries and you have the perfect conditions for fascists rising again. I’m just so tired of all of this.

      Oh and a year ago the propaganda was that with the help of AI we’ll be able to work less and less. This has now done a 180 and the discussions range from cancelling a public holiday (where I always advocate for Christmas just to annoy the Libs), or working 48 hours/week.
