Unlucky…?

Meanwhile, US workers carefully avoiding the fact that US taxation system is effed up and is one of the few countries on the planet daring taxing its expats even when they’re tax residents of another sovereign state 😂

Better said, US employers have to pay you 30-50% more to even survive in our trash tax and healthcare system while the 0.1% and 0.01% pay no tax

Yeah we have seen how they pay taxes, we just got a report that Warren Buffet pays like 1.3% tax maybe? Was it a propublica article? Never understood why Americans are so hell bent to defend the top 1% while being completely taken advantage of the system that benefits only that 1%

If you are paid 50% less, it will take you twice as long to get to the retirement. If a US person can retire in 15 years, it will take someone in France 30 years.

Don’t give me life goals etc. Who wants to slave for years longer for any reason?

Also, do you really think you will live your best life when you retire? I'd rather spend on experiences while young than horde for retirement and be in poor health by overworking.

Tying health insurance to employer as done in the US is just bad for workers and gives unnecessary power to employers. There is no reasons why it should be like this.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?
