  • I am not from NL, so dunno how it is there, but over here that money is completely untaxed, so it is not quite the same as getting a raise. And yes, if you move the amount you get changes. But noone is dumb enough to move just to get more travel money, it barely covers gas costs, you would just be wasting your time lol.

    I don’t get how workers having rights and benefits is ridiculous. Honestly I think claiming that it shouldn’t be a thing is the ridiculous part.

    EDIT: just saw its untaxed in NL too, I guess the difference between us and NL is that for them its typical to get that paid, for us is straight up illegal for your employer not to pay that.


  • This is idiotic. No one compensates employees for their commute.

    Yea, thats not true. Where I live any employer legally has to do it. They either pay a certain amount per kilometer (defined by law) or pay your public transportation fee. I rack in about 300€ of travel compensation every month which covers fuel costs. Having to pay to get to work seems to bizzare to me.

    Also wait till you learn our lunch breaks are paid and on top of that the company has to either provide a meal or compensate you for that too…






  • Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.

    But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.

    .ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).
