Off topic & small talk: Chatterbox (Page 1065)

gagapapamama wrote on 19.02.2024 at 18:27: I need your advice. I was given a Sony XR 75 4K inch TV for my birthday.
I hung it on the wall in my bedroom.

What I urgently need is a streak-free cleaning. Maybe someone knows a product that would be suitable.

I have already used Sidolin extra for TV but it is not streak-free. I always use a microfiber cloth with it.

I've also tried the damp cleaning cloths especially for TVs, but I don't like them either. There are always streaks.

Perhaps someone knows a product that they can recommend to me.

the saying "apprenticeship years are not master years" this is already outdated and no longer in keeping with the times.


In the past, my mother even had to clean the toilets as an apprentice "hairdresser". That would no longer be the case today! Apprentices used to get even more of a beating than they do today?

During my apprenticeship in 1997, I also had to fight against my superiors, well, against the other employees. Because it wasn't feasible what they were asking me to do.

I even had to clean the band saw on Fridays, even though the old man urinated in it when he was drunk.
And the saying from my master back then was the same, apprenticeship years are not master years...
I carried welding equipment with copper balls up to the fourth floor on my own.
I think our gas and oxygen wagon was still from the Middle Ages, you could still hitch a horse to it and drive to the West.
Nowadays, nobody wants to learn anything,
All influenza and the like...
The times in Germany with golden craftsmanship are unfortunately over, I love my job and am proud of it.
However, I have also practiced numerous other professions.

Of course it shouldn't be unnecessary work or harassment.... But if the trainee in a hairdressing salon helps clean the toilets, I think that's actually okay.

You don't have to hire an extra service Provider for this, as there will probably only be 2 toilets or so... Trainees are not only cheap labor, but the training also costs the company money. Even if it is, of course, an investment in a skilled worker who can be retained.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the trainee can also take on one or two non-subject-related tasks.

if it only stays with the toilet.


I had to push snow, dispose of garbage, separate garbage, make coffee, wash dishes, shop for the employees in all stores, get yellow bags from the garbage truck. Distributing posters, etc.

The only problem was that I couldn't learn anything during my normal training because there was no time. My salary at the time was DM 410 per month plus social security contributions.

OKay, I didn't see it that way from the point of view that the employer was paying for the training.

I also found the work OKay, but as I said, other work was then required that was not feasible in terms of time. There wasn't enough time.

They then gave me 5 sales contracts to work on, which is actually only in the 3rd year of my apprenticeship and I was only there for 7 months.

Or I had 30 minutes to process the mail, and even had to take everything to the post office by 5 p.m. within that time. I had to walk 800 meters. it wasn't feasible in terms of time and was just stressful, and mistakes were made. for example, wrong addresses were written and stamped incorrectly. That was nonsensical, shopping was no problem but there was no time left for mail processing.

Then I learned something else and better. On the whole, I've never really been put down by a boss, I'm someone who does my work conscientiously, tidily and sensibly. If a boss comes at me stupidly, I just say goodbye until sometime and go to the doctor or something (there are doctors here who just hand out sick bills, they don't care, hello to Dr. Ali who is already retired and was the best man, the charlatan. I don't know how he managed to hardly ever treat anyone and still play a doctor, the guy was really a blast🤣). What I'm saying is that I'm not going to be enslaved, screw them. I certainly won't do anything for money or for a country that rips off its citizens. I've also been to the labor court for something and got justice and compensation. Don't put up with nothing out there, a good employer shows respect for their employees anyway, you don't have to be treated like shit

The system with labor in this day and age is more or less designed for injustice at its core though


I mean who stands in front of the mirror except for the upper rows and says to themselves ... Yes, today I'm going back to my job that pays my labor and performance reasonably? Almost nobody

The people who are paid reasonably and well, usually even overpaid, don't stand on the mat at 6 or 7 in the morning and work until 4 or 5 p.m. That's what people who sell their whole lives to be able to live just "well" do

Of course there are exceptions, for example the top manager often has a 20 hour day, but he can at least afford a vacation from the money where he gets everything carried after him for 1-2 weeks and can relax 100% something the normal worker can't usually do, no matter how well he earns

And if we then go back to the education system and especially in schools, we can see quite quickly how they are structured, namely not on personal development to make something of themselves but simply to form new cogs that then fit into the existing 9 to 5 system

I hope you understand what I mean
