The year was 2014, and your heroine had purchased a PayPal Prepaid from Feltrinelli RED in Milan.
It had turned out to be quite a hoax, so when the expiry notice came in November 2017, and I had used it only once, I made it expire and goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.
I remembered that there was still some change left on the card,...
Contract
A year ago, my forced leave began on the first of August.
A year later, I can say it: in July, I had changed jobs, still a project contract, for one month, and even before signing, I had asked if, provided there was the will to continue the collaboration, the new contract would start in August or September. I was told that the new contract would begin immediately after the first one (I still have the emails about it,...
In reality, we signed the rental contract for a year on May 10, but as usual, the time to write is always short, and lately, I have also worked more than usual (not without satisfaction, and therefore that’s okay).
The house is the same one we had taken for two months, with a Scottish flatmate (who turned out to be an excellent flatmate)....
I have collected a few scattered remarks about the work, or at least about what I have experienced in person and about which I have pretty reliable information.
1) It would appear that it is not easy to dismiss a permanent (our permanent) employee for reasons related to the job itself, e.g. if the employee does not do his job and causes damage to the company....
In fifteen years of work, I have changed thirty different companies, small, medium, and large. I have also had all kinds of contracts, except VAT. I have worked with so many different people on so many different projects.
Two things have always remained the same: it has never been possible to trust the company, for the smallest up to the most significant issues,...
Fortunately, the contract sent for the PayPal prepaid had been validated, so I made the famous transfer to activate the card. OK, it’s not exactly a straightforward procedure, also because the IBAN on the card has to be quoted, and another number as the reason for the transfer. In short, the fact remains that I made a mistake in making the transfer (which,...
Today I happened to see the PayPal prepaid on sale at Feltrinelli RED. Since I have a credit card but don’t have a prepaid one and always like to use PayPal for online payment, I decided to buy it.
I didn’t realise that, of course, there was an activation to be done (and the forms to be filled out online are not exactly well done like you can’t scroll through them quickly with the tab) and a contract to be signed sent in....
Yesterday I decided and signed a contract until the end of the year. It is a vertical part-time, three days a week. Said like that, it all sounds good and straightforward, but it isn’t at all; part-time also means a lower salary, and wondering every day if it is worth it, if it is the right choice....
