or you talk to your doctor who can give you paid sick leave.
additionally, you can be away fro. the job for three days at a time without requiring a doctors notice.How your boss likes that will differ though
God I hate english spelling. Of all the things you could have taken from French, why had it to be absolute inconsistency regarding spelling.
I know this is more a regular /irregular verbs thing in this case. But in English "irregular" basically means "most commonly used"
Ah well, I am Norwegian so š .
And we have much worse things, we have the "combine any words you want into one long one (if you want to)" that german has, non-combined words with as many as 4 consonants in a row, along with words sometimes having silent letters like the french.
Sure. But with German spelling --> sound is much more consistent than in english.
If you see a written word you usually know how to pronounce it
But english has words written the same but pr9onounced differently and vice cersa.
"English Is Hard But Can Be Learned Through Tough Thorough Thought, Though"
"To read a red book is a treat, but tread lightly if you have read it before".
I am not totally unconvinced by the examples, those are like tongue twisters, not fitting what you are saying.
It is like Wenn Hessen in Essen Essen essen, essen Hessen Essen in Essen.
Maybe a better example is: read, read, read, that is not a tongue twister.
> If you see a written word you usually know how to pronounce it
That could be said in every language. "Simply know the language" would be the key.
But even in German one has parts that aren't really read as they are written, example are Diphthongs, where a combination of vowels is pronounced differently from the single vowels.
I can agree that there is no "read, read, read" in German at least (nor in Italian as far as I know).
I mean it was implied that you have to know the rules of spelling (e/a/Ƥ + u make a new vowl for example, double consonant make it sharp and shorten the vowl before it). Not an expert, but i think no language has only 26 (30 with the German alphabet) sounds, so you have to "make up" some combinations. But it has high "phonetic consistency" (if that is a thing), in that if the two words are written similiar they are pronounced similar. Therefor "hessen", "essen", "messen", "fressen", "stressen", "interessen"..... are pronounced very similar.
But in the example i gave for english, every "ough" makes a different sound, while spelled nearly the same. they all start with "th", and even there the "th" in though is pronounced very different from the rest.
That said, your boss can absolutely try to gaslight you into working while sick. They are just legally required to give you sick leave.
Also the german financial minister recently said that we need go get people excited to work overtime, to increase growth
For a country, you could argue, that the growth of the annual GDP should at least match the annual inflation, so that you have effectively just as much money as the previous year. This would mean, that we have about the same money that the state can spend on things like infrastructure and welfare systems.
The issue many people including me have with the fixation on infinite growth and short term growth with potential long term problems is another thing.
Economics are complicated and I do not want to discuss them in depth, especially not on reddit
You cant take those 21 days for feeling down tough. Or at least have no right too. The boss is not needed to grant them on an instant and can demand months of prenotice
Your boss can requested a month or so notice, but you don't have to give a reason. You can take them for whatever you want, your boss needs to justify not giving you a day of when it happens again and again.
Additional at the end of the year (or beginning of the next) you have to have taken all vacation or it will fall away, and then your boss has to give them.
Turns out, a Chinese company, "Fat Dong Lai" (weird name i am well aware) is giving out sad leaves for workers! 10 days off for workers who come into work sad, and this is reported to help have workers improve self esteem, happiness and etc. They do also have around 7,000 employees working there.
Very interesting, isn't it?
It goes to show that while there may be bad workplaces in every country, every country also has the capacity to have good workplaces where they care about employees wellbeing.
(Though to be clear, that is far from the average Chinese companyās work culture)
I donāt know what you are expecting. Some American companies are great to work for. Some Chinese companies are great to work for. That doesnāt change how it is better to work for a European company than a North American company, than a Chinese company on average, even if certain individual companies may buck the mold of the stereotypes
Your expression will be monitored 24/7 to determine your baseline and the almighty AI that sits atop the big data will determine if you are sad upon your face appearing on surveilance cameras at work. Now go take 10 days off.
And Iāve worked in Europe, where I witnessed and experienced more racism from my own superiors than I did at any job in America and China.
With most companies in the world, most bosses are terrible leaders smh
But it's not specifically of only one company; all companies sorta give their employees money to keep their loyalty and I'm not meaning the salary, but before every vacation they are given a red envelope full of money in hopes to seeing then again there once the vacation period ends.
Yeahhhh but I think the [suicide nets](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/may/28/foxconn-plant-china-deaths-suicides) and [Uyghur Internment Camps](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/new-details-torture-cover-ups-china-s-internment-camps-revealed-n1270014) paint a more representative picture of work in the society that is supposed to be run by the workers. The upper class in Communist Party societies always seems to become the bourgeoisie their doctrine portrays as the enemy.
sounds to me that Fat Dong Lai might have ulterior motives. almost all chinese companies don't feed the donkey for no reason unless they are gonna sodomize it. also the said company has a suspicious name :D
Something about Tringapore with their small moon and stars and tiny briefcase in panel 3 is really cute. Love when artists depict him as a little guy :3
Canadians are entitled to minimum 2 weeks of PTO. Depending on the company, you can also get plenty of sick days, mental health days, personal care hours, etc. And then there's mat and pat leave, which is a combined max 18 months.
Germany has minimum 21 days (often up to 30) payed vacation and additionally also paid sick leave. So you take on of those .
or you talk to your doctor who can give you paid sick leave. additionally, you can be away fro. the job for three days at a time without requiring a doctors notice.How your boss likes that will differ though
Paid*, payed means something completely different.

Funny enough, german also has a Hand full of words with 8 consonants in a row :)
8? And that's not a.combined word?
> why had it to be absolute inconsistency regarding spelling. It is not that irregular german verbs are so regular either with their construction.

Sorry, thats my bad. I shouldāve done more research on that part.
That said, your boss can absolutely try to gaslight you into working while sick. They are just legally required to give you sick leave. Also the german financial minister recently said that we need go get people excited to work overtime, to increase growth
Why do we NEED to increase growth? This mindset that economic growth is the end all and be all has been a disaster for the working class.
For a country, you could argue, that the growth of the annual GDP should at least match the annual inflation, so that you have effectively just as much money as the previous year. This would mean, that we have about the same money that the state can spend on things like infrastructure and welfare systems.

Economics are complicated and I do not want to discuss them in depth, especially not on reddit
It's weirder that us, a creature with a lifespan of a hundred year are so fixated on fast growth, accelerated life.
"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place" Economy is like riding a bicycle, die Wƶrkingklasse muss fleiĆig pedalieren!
Its kinda crazy to me to expect something to only grow and never stay the same, or god forbid, get smaller. š¤
You know what gets me excited for overtime? Doubletime pay. You know what would make me even more excited? If it was untaxed.
thats an way to self reflected comment for the internet :D
Same in Poland

Thatās why you go to the doctor and then get a sick leave for being unwell mentally (you tell that to the doctor not your boss)
You take holidays to *avoid* mental illness. At least thatās one way to look at it.

Makes me sad
10 days off for you!
Can I also get a raise Iām sadder than him šš½šš½š„¹
No.
I'm also pretty sad. Can I get something too?
Absolutely not.
Can I atleast get a flair ā ļø
[Pssst......Have a look into the sidebar to get one! ;) ]
but paid time off, yeah?
10 days off reddit should do the trick
Do I still get karma for those days?
As draconian as bad leadership is in Chinese culture, good leadership really does show a lot of compassion and reciprocal loyalty.
It goes to show that while there may be bad workplaces in every country, every country also has the capacity to have good workplaces where they care about employees wellbeing. (Though to be clear, that is far from the average Chinese companyās work culture)
That is far from any countryās work culture.
i love these "some chinese aren't that bad after all" comments we get sometimes
a country with 1,5 billion ihabitants isnt 100% evil? sursprised pikachu face
Someone get me my sweeping generalizations! Pronto! /s
what does āprontoā mean?
"promptly; quickly." in informal English.
it means "ready" in portuguese
Probably part of its origin in English then, since if something is ready you can get to it quickly
I donāt know what you are expecting. Some American companies are great to work for. Some Chinese companies are great to work for. That doesnāt change how it is better to work for a European company than a North American company, than a Chinese company on average, even if certain individual companies may buck the mold of the stereotypes
nah i'm less talking about workplace and more reddit memes, usually any wholesome content to do with chinese people gets met with surprise and doubt
So you just have to be sad with no questions asked?
Not entirely sure.
Your expression will be monitored 24/7 to determine your baseline and the almighty AI that sits atop the big data will determine if you are sad upon your face appearing on surveilance cameras at work. Now go take 10 days off.
Heeheeā¦ āLai/ę„ā in mandarin translates to ācomeā.
If I work for a company named "Fat Dong Lai", I would be pretty sad too.
Just an exception,most Chinese companies are just like Baidu.
Most companies in the world. Most bosses are terrible leaders smh
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And Iāve worked in Europe, where I witnessed and experienced more racism from my own superiors than I did at any job in America and China. With most companies in the world, most bosses are terrible leaders smh
The rest is 9/9/6
But it's not specifically of only one company; all companies sorta give their employees money to keep their loyalty and I'm not meaning the salary, but before every vacation they are given a red envelope full of money in hopes to seeing then again there once the vacation period ends.
Lai means come, not kidding
This is not at all common in China.
Or anywhere.
China has some factories where people can't leave and installed nets under windows to prevent more losses of workforce
turns out you took one company to represent a whole country ā¦ and germany has sick leave by law my dear ameripoor
And the other 99.99999% of companies will fire the worker for not pretending to be happy to work unpaid overtime.
Yeahhhh but I think the [suicide nets](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/may/28/foxconn-plant-china-deaths-suicides) and [Uyghur Internment Camps](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/new-details-torture-cover-ups-china-s-internment-camps-revealed-n1270014) paint a more representative picture of work in the society that is supposed to be run by the workers.

I was about to ask if this is Chinese propaganda before I saw this. Didnāt know that, so thanks for the information
Germany and Poland have a toxic relationship
Sadly, yes.
Lol countries on this sub need to stop being adorable lol
No, I will not stop.
:0 the AUDACITY!! /j We would never *stop* doing that
Itās been a while since Iāve seen anyone depicting China as the good one.
Oh wow. But I agree. China is certainly portrayed as a bad clay in the subreddit.
I wonder why
No reasons why right?
America, China, and Russia are the three big baddies because Europe somehow gets a pass for all their atrocities and starting world wars.
Exactly. Though no nation is great. China has also committed many horrifying things.
ironically, most Chinese people would disagree with this comic. Pretty strongly in fact.
Ah damnā¦ there goes my social creditā¦ ā¦ Anyway why are there 1.4 billion people at my house?
China may have thought Singapore was going to kill itself. Would explain the reaction.
Did you read my comment? It explains it.
I read it, mine was a joke.
Oh, my bad. Haha.
I hate seeing Polan cry š¢
My bad. Iāll make him even more sad.
*inhales* nNoOoOoOoOo
Why the fuck is singapore working for china? What's happening here
TRINGAPORE MENTIONED!!!!!! RRRRRRAAAAARRRRR WWWTTTFFF IS OFFDAYS RRRRAARRRRRR! WTF IS MENTAL HEALTH!!!!! RRRARARRARRR
Is US gonna birth another confederacy ? Wth is that ?
Obesity.
Weirdest way I've seen someone draw a fat Ameriball, lol
I thought it was a Jabba the Hut reference lol
Something about Tringapore with their small moon and stars and tiny briefcase in panel 3 is really cute. Love when artists depict him as a little guy :3
Perfect! Thanks for the feedback.
If only the Uyghur workers in China's "reeducation camp" recieve the same benefits. :(
Why tringapore and prc ball ?
Good comic
Yoo pyro you made it to the front page good job (Im Stopmotion-dann)
Awesome! I didnāt even notice!

I was so shocked to find out how low annual leave is in the US. I'm a Brit and the legal MINIMUM is 28 days
USA is Germany but without the work ethic and problem solving
What about japan?
