I have staff who are off on a building Easter egg hunt. I guess CC would have them up on charges.

I fail to see the significance for the WFH/office question though: The place were you do not fulfill your obligation seems irrelevant.

It just went public.

Toni, it's never a good idea to get involved in a pump and dump scheme even if you know it is a pump and dump scheme.



The SPAC has been around for a while though right?
I haven't looked at reddit for a while but I'd be surprised if they weren't on that.

They posted on the Paradox forums that this game will no longer receive updates so I guess no patches lol

Paradox really is a mess  :lol:

I've no faith in any of their products, in house or otherwise.

Quote from: crazy canuck on March 26, 2024, 06:27:31 PMSo basic contract law, the company is paying you x amount of wages for y amount of hours. An employee doesn't get to mess with the y variable according to their individual whims.  Maybe it works differently in Germany?
In German contact law, the core stipulation of an employment contract is that the employee owes a service and the employer directs the employee about this service and that this contractual relation is meant for a longer, typically indefinite term. How renumeration is structured, e.g. by the hour, is not defined contract law.

Of course labour law and a plethora of regulations or industry-wide collective bargaining will limit what you can actually put into an employment contract, but contract law itself is very free. Maybe different in other jurisdictions.

On renumeration, one option is of course by the hour, but a lot of people are paid differently, e.g. salary is the same every month regardless of working days in that month, based on revenue they generate for sales people or lawyers/consultants, based on discrete pieces of work they deliver etc.

Also while defining a time for which the service is owed by the employee per time period is extremely common and regulated heavily, that is not necessary from pure contract law.

PS: Are you mixing me (reference to Germany) and Zoupa (post you answer to) here?

Here the requirement for salaried workers to devote their full-time and energy is even more enforcible in our contract law than an hourly page worker.

Quote from: Tamas on March 26, 2024, 06:33:59 PMWhat does the law define as punishment? Right to terminate the contract, damages, prison?

Both the right to terminate the contract without payment of any severance and a potential claim for damages, but damages is hard to prove. Depending on the fact pattern, there could also be the potential of a criminal fraud charges but those are very rare.

Awesome job curating these.  I shudder to think of the many images you had to view to get to these "best."
