Helxig 45,366 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Wow that's about the same minimum wage as what we are paid in NZ! I mean, ours should still definitely go up, but the US is known for paying way worse in comparison. At least $11USD an hour is liveable. And who thought an evil company like Walmart would actually be the ones to step up? This is definitely a surprise I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

ctherainbow 3,162 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Meanwhile, 63 Sam's Club locations(same company as Wal-Mart, but their bulk food store chain) have been announced to be closing this year, and thousands of people are losing their jobs there, so it's not exactly all roses and pay raises for the Sam Walton companies. I'm talkin' 'bout forever, baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mountain scenes!!!! The Cafes!!!! It has less culture variety than Canada and less variety of stuff to try available from around the world but excluding that Portugal was better in every other way! I lived in a village 20km or so from the city of Coimbra and there was so much to do in that entire region its crazy!!! Its been 16 years since I moved to Canada but Ive gone back to visit a few times The economy is the only reason id never go back. And the terrible slow public healthcare. Money is just an issue there and I wouldnt feel secure thats the only problem Mas as comidas nos restaurantes Americanos cá no Canadá são uma porcaria autentica em comparação com boms restaurantes Portugueses Acredito a nossa gastronomia é fantástica mesmo, e temos de tudo. Eu entraria em pânico se tivesse de lidar com comida americana todos os dias Eu sou de Lisboa. Se Coimbra já tinha tanto para fazer, imagina aqui! Sem dúvida, temos dinamizado bastante a cidade e acho que ias adorar passar cá uma temporada, agora mais velho. Há todo o tipo de cantinhos para descobrir. Mas considera viver cá apenas se fores convidado para um emprego super bem pago com dinheiro, podes pagar uma boa casa e tens acesso a saúde privada sem problemas (apesar de tudo, as coisas são relativamente baratas ainda). Com 1000 euros por mês (que é a média de salários, e é o dobro do salário mínimo), mantém-te aí Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fascination 1,130 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 In my country the minimum wage is 1.565,40 Euro for one month work when you’re older than twenty two year old. 72,25 for one day and 361,25 one week. It’s ridiculous how people are treated by big corporations, businesses and governments in other countries. Capitalism sucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol its about as high as the minimum wage in my Province if u adjust for exchange rates. Its not a living wage here either but...

Good luck to anyone making that a month. You're never gonna be able to save anything to help ur future. Hell, u won't be able to provide herself a decent present.

Like selfcheckouts for example more productivity with less labor isnt a bad thing initself it allows for wealthier economy but its bad in the sense that jobs going are level-entry jobs that people need to start, students etc. Its a pity they are disapearing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
