All the people that want that sweet, sweet maternity time off will actually move on to Germany, which has a possibly even better arrangement :-)

Then you must love it here.

Why is that a problem? If you are earning over 50k here in the UK you will be paying a lot more tax than if you are earning 15k and that’s a good thing.

“Should” is not “is”. Don’t ask me.

It’s the American way - shut the fuck up and deal with it, or fuck off somewhere else, you commie!

Most wealthy people are not paying the highest marginal income tax rates.

I work for a Danish company, with people in that income bracket. NONE of them have a problem with the arrangement. I realize, obviously, that this is anecdotal. But they all think we’re nuts for the system that we have.

Canada doesn’t just allow anyone to immigrate for the purpose of permanent residency.

I told him he could leave.  I never said he had to.

Oh you have memes.....wow.

Why don’t you want to make your country a better place, as opposed to the laughingstock of the civilized world?

Have fun with your low tax rates, starvation wages, prohibitive cost of basic services (childcare, healthcare, and education), and your glorified third-world country status.

I think that generally speaking, women step up because we’re afraid not to. If directly asked to do something, we don’t say no because we’re worried about not being seen as a “team player.”

(Woman in engineering) For better or worse, one of my mentors in college strongly impressed on us (female engineering students) that we should never EVER volunteer to do admin/office management tasks once we started working as it would blur the lines on our actual job duties and reinforce the idea that women do…

(Man in engineering) Totally agree! Though it’s a tricky line, being too “agreeable” (one of the Big Five personality traits) does not correlate with workplace success, and women (in general) are more agreeable than men. And if you are too agreeable about what you described, you will be tagged as the one to do that…

Tasks like organizing the office holiday party,

During the eight years of the Eisenhower presidency, from 1953 to 1961, the top marginal rate was 91 percent. (It was 92 percent the year he came into office.)

I already told you why. Also, not for nothing, but why are you so interested in telling people to leave?

i heard it’s actually pretty hard to migrate to Denmark (unfortunately)

My wife and I actually initiated the immigration process to Canada when Dubya got re-elected. It ended very quickly because we’re too old and aren’t doctors. So, we get to stick it out here.
