RE: First week of work - A Romanian in Germany Ep03 - DAY 17 of 30 day writing challenge
Those social cultural traditions can be very powerful. We have them here in America too and they vary depending upon what kind of job and what your position is or what public setting your in.
Yes, I've been working in the states 10 years ago and it was an interesting experience. A little different then Europe. I was paid by the other for most at the beginning, but changed to being paid by project, as I found it more productive.
Here I have been paid in the past as a subcontractor, which is close to the same thing as being paid by the project. As a mover I discovered that one can lose as much as one can gain. This is the disadvantage of being paid under contract. The advantage of contract is that you are paid more. Thus it is a trade off that depends upon your ability. Getting a job means you don't have to worry about that, because you are paid for your time and not what you produce.
