A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If you're in Germany, don't do this.

(Because legally binding contracts are legally binding, you would violate both and probably get fucked over income taxes, dunno. On the other hand, companies are bound to contracts as well and you're protected from bullshit like that)

Yeah this wouldn't work in other European countries either.

I mean it's not really needed in Europe where true legal rights exist for employees, right?

This is more of a "only in the USA" kind of thing.
