Interesteling info. I just got vibes of "we didn't lose, we weren't really trying". Mix that with an american suggesting the rest of the world isn't culturally aware is the perfect ragebait lol
Car brain really is a thing. Here in the UK it seems to be considered a thing that if you can afford one, you have one.
I sold my car (my wife has and needs one to be fair) 4-5 yrs back. Tried to make an ebike work but it didn't fit my lifestyle so I bought an electric moped and it's handled everything I've thrown at it.
Traffic is no longer a thing so it saves me so much time not having to allow time for it, it's generally quicker/as quick as a car on all the trips I do, parking is easy and it's dirt cheap to run.
I live in the UK and do this more so that I can sodding sprint out when summer decides to end 30 minutes after blazing sunshine and then it rains for 40 days and 40 nights
I had to execute a contract with a supplier in Mexico recently and they have a law (REPSE) that means you cannot engage a sub contractor when instead there's a reasonable argument that you could employ them instead.
It's to protect an empire being manipulated and not receive benefits. They really do look out for their employee rights which is great to see
Yes sorry, I meant City of London I. E. the finance/banking area. But even then it's not strictly correct as alot of that industry are ou at Canary Wharf.
It is yes another silly situation the UK has got itself into!!!
Yes this was my thinking. And in fact the salary reflects where in our country the role is so you could argue that the cost of commuting is baked in. Certainly in London it's called "London weighting" where extra money is added to your salary.
Still, the original Op seems to in Belgium/NL so good result for him/her
Which country are you in where you get to expense the commute to your designated office?
I'm in the UK and have never heard of this. Sure, if you're a home worker but that's not who RTO is targeted at. Or if you're asked to travel to a non-designate site, client site etc
I mean that's an insane percentage increase. My bro in Berlin (I'm in London) was saying they've seen 50% but you guys win! In the UK we're at about 10% increase since the Israel/US/Iran war

You can think what you like, I for example think the rest of the world understands perfectly well that soccer isn't one of your primary sports.
For a sport in its infancy in your country, I didn't think the US team were that bad

Not sure I'll ever buy a car again
True. My admission is that I loved the pluriel and kind of had a thing for the Picasso.
And it closed just shy of even. Urgh
Citron Cactus. I have such bad tastes in cars that I now won't own one knowing what I buy with be a dog
Or that they didn't dare wake him as he'd killed people for less. Lovely chap

But knowing us, we'll just have stolen the lions from another country during our angry-little-man phase :)
Omg, I had no idea that the word "flamenco" means flamingo in Spanish. Idiot
Thank god, I thought I was a cretin as I didn't get thro a season of it
I'm in the UK so it's the norm (saying that, not sure if that applies to London). If they're indicating, you wouldn't dream of not letting them out.
It's more my thought pattern as I do
I must be broken as often I'll let a bus out expressly thinking that a vehicle with 20 people in has to be more important than me.
I'm not in the US thou

That's a really interesting insight, thanks. We just get so used to the norm that we know.
5 day is brutal, my friend in the city (London's finance sector) has this and it's therefore more restrictive than it ever was before covid.
He has something like a day a month where he can elect in advance to WFH for specific reasons.
It creates scenarios where a friend in the US drives 40 minutes just to swipe his card/ go have breakfast and then heads home again
