This also means that he will work 5 days instead of 4 days a week but the good thing he is entitled for a salary increase according to his performance. Yon nga lang less vacation na sya :( ! Pero okay pa rin daw pag wala ng RTT co'z it will happen one day or another! Hay buhay talaga at least we still have jobs to hold on to. It would be sad if there will be no jobs at all & that will be the worst scenario di ba :D ! So we still should be thankful ;)!hazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452632021420961793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-40262552076752996172008-07-11T23:03:00.000+02:002008-07-11T23:03:00.000+02:00Almost the same here.

Get back here in France right away, even after the reform, working condition is still more comfortable here.. but well, they're spoiled brats, right?<BR/><BR/><B>Julie</B>, oh yeah, really can't complain on that aspect. France is the champion in Europe in terms of number of hours worked per week. But that doesn't mean they're less productive. There are still a lot of big industries here who fares inspite of this working condition.. but economy has been affected and a lot of industries had suffered with the 35h/week regimen.. they really need to reform.. with the consequent compromises of course.. i've always been ok for a change.. and here it is.. and anyway, i work a lot more than 35h/w, that wouldn't change my life dramatically ;).. and yes, i worked 6 days a week in pinas, sanay na :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-25227912870032383982008-07-11T06:09:00.000+02:002008-07-11T06:09:00.000+02:00At least you get those benefits Ana, think about t...At least you get those benefits Ana, think about those who work here.
