That’s being a tourist.

Otherwise, who is making and serving the drinks and lunch?

Exactly, just a sandwich with only one piece of bread. It’s probably the most common dinner here, because people traditionally had big meals at lunch, but that’s slowly changing

I realize the UK isn't seen as part of Europe by many following Brexit, but I'm reminded of a British person who said, after hanging out with Americans, that what they call "Going to the pub after work," Americans would call "a serious drinking problem."

American here wtf is burnout leave? How long can you take the leave?

Meanwhile the rest of us are speedrunning stress before noon

Up to 2 years, apparently. It was a huge shock to me too; I'm still coming to grips with it? Honestly, I didn't want to take it but my boss strongly urged me to talk to the company doc and here we are.

I'm still working, just reduced hours.

LOL fellow American also bamboozled by this concept. "Burnout leave" to us is when you finally snap and quit, cutting off your healthcare and income all in one go.

Hope you have multiple "streams of income" and "side hustles" if nothing else is "lined up"!

For the majority of us burnout isn't a pathology, it's the most American state of being.

why do people put the extra X in there? indolence?

My best guess is it's become a sort of linguistic meme, poking fun at incels who'd ramble on about things like "looks-maxxing".

Or maybe it's a combo of that and "min-maxing" from gaming communities. The extra X makes it more maximum. LOL

Taxing, faxing, relaxing...

You go to the doctor, they say you are suffering burnout and prescribe you working less, potentially also therapy, and you get sick leave for the time you can't work. How long depends on what the doctor says, but potentially quite long. You can't be fired during that time except after a very long time (i.e. that you should be on permanent disability benefit instead) and the company making all possible efforts at other suitable arrangements.

Sounds more like alcoholism to me!

Hello Canada my old friend.

America North (Canada) here. Labour laws relatively similar. Is it bad I've been conditioned that my immediate response is "bitch leave". I work in IT. I've been burnt out twice in my career second time actually getting a doctor's note to get removed off on call for an app. Never once did I think of leave. I didn't know that was a thing outside of the more ambiguous "stress leave" which is maybe what they're referring to?

Anyways. I'm jelly.

They are safe raw. Maultaschen are filled with "Brät" which is coocked or fried (gebraten). At least the traditional ones. And the normal Bürger Maultaschen do as well. You might find some variety thats raw but i doubt it for any you find in the store.

It's a good thing that you take it, as long as you don't make the classic mistake of forgetting why you're on leave (and risk ending up in a "don't do anything productive" depression).

Wishing you a good recovery!

Take care of yourself bro. I've been there. A few months off helped tremendously. And it seems we share similar interests. No reason to be lonely. Hit me up with a message if you'd be keen to hang out over some joints.

The reason we Brits voted to leave the EU was because we couldn't tolerate having to see friends any more.

I like how basically every culture has dumplings & they're all delicious. if there are grain and egg to make pasta cooking stuff in a little pasta pocket is obviously the next step.

Your children will move out faster than you think.
