    How many nurses does Switzerland even have? Losing 300 per month in such a small country sounds unsustainable even in the short term.

        Taking a job that someone is offering a market-rate salary for is not “gaming the system”. Them getting a good wage shouldn’t make you upset. The fact that your boss pays you peanuts should make you upset. Don’t be a crab in a bucket. Fight for better wages for yourself and the people around you.

          Am I allowed to get upset at police officers abusing overtime with no oversight in order to make absurd amounts of money while doing essentially nothing, or is that also class betrayal?

            This isn’t relevant to our original conversation, but yes.

            Cops are class traitors that are essentially above the law. They issue fines that are a flat fee (rather than scaling % of wealth) so it only negatively impacts poor people.

            Cops also abuse their power with the public having little recourse. Did the cop shoot your dog for no reason? You could sue them, but the money won’t come from the asshole cop, it’ll come from taxpayers and the cop will get a paid vacation.

            No, but you’re allowed to be mad at the police department for allowing it, and you’re allowed to be bad at the cops for being cops, because ACAB.

            Only if the reason they are using so much over time has nothing to do with under staffing, and too much work load, making it necessary. When it’s a problem generated by by cutting too many corners, the problem is greed, not the employee doing all the over time.

              They’re referring to actual articles about how police across America are milking the clock at the cost of taxpayer dollars doing virtually nothing while clocked in and pocketing the extra money.

        If they quit for another job it means that people are heavily underpaid for the amount of effort, stress, knowledge and experience they have. It’s not that those who quit are worth less. It’s those who are left that are undervaluing their hard work, but are too used to the frankly abnormal routine of hospital work (or have circumstances that make it difficult to leave).
