This post heavily inflates the numbers to maximize the drama.

First month's rent: That's not an added moving expense. You pay rent every month regardless of where you live.

Moving truck: If money is tight, you rent a cheap van and move yourself with friends like everyone else.

Yes, having the cash upfront for a new deposit while waiting for the old one to return is a real liquidity trap. But framing $4,000 as the absolute baseline to escape a rent increase is pure ragebait. It makes the poster sound like someone who has never actually had to do a budget, DIY move.

    Walls between apartments are usually 25cm thick brick walls or even concrete in Austria. Worked in the field. Drywalls are very unusual even inside a flat. Most of the time you have 12cm thick brick walls.

    So a bullet going from flat to flat is veeeryyy unlikely.

    In Europe 4-6weeks off per year are a norm. Some companies even offer unlimited sabbaticals. That's why I go every other year on a 2 month vaccation + normal vaccation in between.

    Fight for your rights. Unionize.

    Yes exactly. And all of those appointments are even considerd work time.

    In our company we also get a splndid lunch for €5 every day. I honestly can't complain about my work life balance with this much planinf freedom.

    Bei uns im Unternehmen werden gerade Ideen zur Arbeitserleichterung gesucht. Wir haben sowohl typische Verwaltungsarbeit im Büro als auch Wartung unserer Produkte (Fahrzeuge) in eigenen Werkstätten. Was kennt ihr vielleicht aus eurer eigenen Arbeit, was man besser machen könnte um die Arbeit besser bewältigen zu können? Evtl etwas in Richtung von verkürzten Arbeitswegen, neue Hilfsmittel, technische Innovationen oder Reduktion der Bürokratie. Fällt euch etwas ein?
