For now my belly full of Schiphol
For now, I'm fed up with Schiphol. Shuffling for four hours in an endless queue towards the plane and, to make matters worse, running for ten minutes not to miss the plane, has gone down the wrong way with me. Man, what a mess. But yes, I had to go back to our house in Hua Hin with daughter Lizzy.
Four months ago it seemed like a golden booking: 21.500 baht for a return flight with Etihad in the European high season via Abu Dhabi to Amsterdam. Two weeks away and at home, mainly to admire my new grandson Daan and to visit family and friends. That was an excellent experience by the way. Unfortunately, I did not yet know what kind of disaster was hanging over my head. Yes, I went in the European summer holidays, but would fly back on Monday morning. In my innocence I assumed that many holidaymakers would have already left by then. A totally wrong assumption.
The outward journey went reasonably well, although in Abu Dhabi it was via a rattling bus connection between the Dreamliner and the old station building. What an old fart. In Amsterdam we went through the checks of the Marechaussee in no time and we even got our suitcase back.
For outward and return journeys, I had to request a Verified to Fly from Etihad, followed by uploading vaccination certificates. Strange that the site only allows one page, while my four jabs take up two pages.
You can then check in online, so you only have to drop off your luggage at the airport. That's where things went wrong on SPL. All kinds of queues were swarming and it took a long time before we had our boarding passes.
Then we were (don't laugh) directed outside again to join the queue for the security check via a tent. I have not counted the number of people waiting, but the number is probably close to 1000 men, women, children and (too much) hand luggage. Winding snake it goes by decimetre towards the security check. There are uniforms at every turn to keep us in the right hose. Why can't these people be used for security checks? Oh, they don't have the proper education, whatever these may be.
Then we come to a sign with the inscription: From here another 25 to 30 minutes. They also cannot calculate at Schiphol, because it takes more than an hour from there, after which you have to go through a gate almost undressed (without jacket, belt and shoes) to prove that you are not a suicide. Finally, the Marechaussee follows. I expected extra delay (old man with young girl). Someone asks Lizzy's age (12) and directs me to a booth with zero waiting. The Marechaussee smiles, shows us our (Dutch) passports and waves us through.
We have to run to get the Dreamliner from Etihad, of course on the other side of Schiphol. The plane to Abu Dhabi is once again packed. In Abu Dhabi, we have to deal with two bus trips to and from the most remote area of the airport, after which the queues for the security check quickly grow. Belt and shoes off again. A few days before the flight I was informed by email that the return flight to Bangkok is via Phuket. Don't tell me about the behavior of the average Arabs… When I made the booking I didn't see any of that. After an extra stop and the almost empty flight to Bangkok I'm done. This never again. At Suvarnabhumi we stand outside in a curse and a sigh. That the Thai can arrange everything so well….
Dear Hans,
I fear that this problem can be found at every major European airport. This has been in the news several times and was predicted beforehand. Diverting to an alternative airport will bring little relief. These are the after-effects of the Corona crisis.
Bart, I'm sorry, but I think you're going too far here "after-effects of the corona crisis", how would you react if they paid your wages or pension after 3 months with the excuse "sorry, after-effects of corona!"?
Everyone knew that corona was not going to last forever, everyone knew that there would be a massive flight back ... and I think no staff is nonsense up to and including ... there are hundreds of thousands of unemployed people, take their benefits, sorry "no cure no pay".
What Hans and thousands of others have and are still experiencing is not possible! What is actually the purpose of this? What do they want to achieve with this? Apparently the airports enjoy bullying Jan with the cap as much as possible and where is the management? Overpaid incompetent idlers! Where's the government? Where is the tourism minister? Where is the minister of transport? Where is IATA?
You think “Open a can of temporary workers and the problems at Schiphol are solved”. Quod nun!
I have worked at Brussels Airport for 25 years as an extra income (WE-OPS). Most jobs at the airport are part-time and TEMPORARY (busy periods such as holidays, the end of the year, etc.). The companies at the airport are empty today. Within security, at least five colleagues leave every week. They are tired of the substandard pay for weekends and holidays, the flexibility, the workload and the lack of appreciation and go to work elsewhere. You can't get a can of temps to fix the problems. Even the "simplest" loader-sorter has to gain years of experience. They must first obtain a special driver's license in order to be able to drive on the ramp. Then they have to learn to operate different vehicles, including a scissor to load and unload freight. Learn to drive with 6 dollies, deal with dango (dangerous goods), de-icing airplanes in winter, weight distribution in a cargo plane, operate the loading bridge, ... . Those people are required to be polyvalent and must always take courses. They work in poor conditions (noise pollution, kerosene fumes, enormous pressure because a plane that departs too late costs a lot of money, etc.), often part-time and work extra at peak times. They are very poorly paid for this. They have a very great responsibility and then it is about YOUR safety and people spit on these people. How long can you maintain a job where you constantly have to train, work hard for a bad wage and at unsightly hours and usually part-time and temporary, which is bad for your health and where you have a very great responsibility and where the customers are always dissatisfied and dare to tackle yourself physically? You fly cheap because these people are being exploited. This won't last. I assure you that in addition to the high fuel prices, the pay is also being seriously upgraded, otherwise no one will be found. Just imagine a doubling of airline tickets in the very near future.
Dear Luke,
I can imagine your frustration, but the current situation is being discussed here.
And it's really, really bad.
By the way, speaking of education and decency.
When I see how the luggage, which also has to be paid for, is handled, really scandalous.
You would hit them head to head. Completely disrespectful.
Working in the plane is also not the healthiest job and I can go on like this when it comes to poorly paid jobs.
I certainly don't mean to downplay the chaotic situation. I've seen plenty of dramas in recent months. We left for Bangkok on July 5th with EVA Air.
We had been advised to leave our house extra early.
Because we were of course too early at the airport, we had to wait a bit at check-in
The counter opened at 18.10. Within 10 minutes it was ready. The hand luggage check took about 10 minutes in terms of waiting time. At passport control we could walk through without waiting.
All in all, we lost about 30 minutes for the whole procedure
So much too early for the EVA Air VIP lounge
I realize that we have been incredibly lucky and that tens of thousands of travelers have had nothing but dull misery.
More and more I get the idea that things have been agreed in Davos (World Economic Forum) to get Jan met de Pet small. Everything becomes incredibly expensive, so that the common man has no money left to do something fun. The world must become nice again for the happy few and the rest must be grateful that they can eat.
It is precisely our common prosperity that has increased so enormously, because MANY gained access to much. Or as Ford summarized it: our cars must be cheap enough that every employee can afford one.
You really don't understand the basics of economics.
Dear Philippe,
Perhaps it is good to know that we have been able to live in abundance in the Low Countries for decades. The time has now come when there is scarcity in the world and then it is an economic law that prices go up. In the past, dock workers knew how to disrupt a society in order to earn a decent wage. Airport workers must continue to do so. Even an hourly wage of 14 euros per hour is already ridiculously low given the health risks and work pressure for the glory of people who are more fortunate and see a holiday to a foreign destination with an airplane as a fundamental right.
The whole high season system is also part of the problem. Where is the self-will to fly in a low season? Or are we getting too close to the limitation of self-interest?
Years of abundance is just how you see it, think of the houses for example. Today you really can't buy a house or run a household with a single income. Calculating the (in)equality is difficult and there is a lot of discussion about it (what do you include and what do you not, how do you calculate it). For example, it makes a difference whether you look at income or at assets, whether your pension pots are included (and how) or not, and so on. In general, global inequality seems to be decreasing between countries, but increasing within countries.
Anyway, I think most people would agree that the power of unions has declined rather than increased. And with that the influence of employees on their terms of employment. That's not going to improve things any time soon. Employers are not so generous with wage increases. In good times a little bit can be added, in bad times we all have to share the pain... With the liberalization of the labor market in areas such as (air, train, bus, ...) traffic, outsourcing, etc., you can be sure that someone to pay the price. More flexible working, pressure on wages and so on. This usually does not benefit the employment position of employees.
But try to get wages up, maybe now that there is a shortage of personnel everywhere that companies have to raise wages, but I don't expect miracles there. A commercial company will not be too keen on a 10% or more wage increase to compensate for inflation... So whether people in the transport sector (read: everything in and around Schiphol) will radically change the terms of employment? I don't see that happening anytime soon.
We will have to undergo the conditions at Schiphol and other (European) airports for a while, I think.
About inequality in NL (criticism: pension pot not included):
https://www.degrotetransitie.nl/wat-doen-we/themas/beperk-ongelijkheid/
Scarcity? there is an abundance of everything, the barns are overflowing. What Karel says I believe more, because prices are rising insane all over the world and this is certainly not local. I believe there is a much bigger game being played, one that we can't get a sense of and beyond anyone's imagination what is going on in the world right now.
Uploading vaccination certificates?
Is it not enough if you can show your vaccination certificates with your flight ticket and passport at the check-in desk?
Hans, get used to it. It was also very wrong at airports in Germany and the UK. And they also want to put Schiphol in a shrinking position….. That will be laughable later….
Another lament that we, the blog readers, cannot change.
It is indeed doom and gloom at most airports and we all have to bite the bullet. There is only one good advice and that is to be there on time. All the inconveniences are soon forgotten when you are safe and sound on the plane.
Departed from Schiphol on the 27th, but Bangkom, we were through everything within 5 minutes, flew at 20:50, so relatively late
That's right, I've heard from several people that the evening flights go pretty fast. So if you fly direct, like me, a nice red wine, eat, sleep and you'll be in BKK in no time, oh I'm so excited
Well... when there was little or nothing to do during the corona lockdowns, many have been laid off and now have other work (and will not return, because those jobs are too insecure). Now that corona no longer causes panic reactions, everyone wants to get back on the plane en masse, but.. no trained and certified personnel (you can't have everyone do safety checks)
All mismanagement of that ugly Benschop and his mates who are exploiting the ground staff together with the Rutte government, you will no longer see those people at Schiphol now working somewhere else where they earn and also get more
fri gr. EvdWeyde
The government will ensure that this situation continues! They are already recruiting for extra GGD employees to start distributing the injections that are hardly useful to many again. Secretly also plans for other non-scientifically founded measures regarding flu19. As a result, the labor market is also considerably skimmed by recruiting inspectors to enforce compliance with the useless measures!
Dear people, they no longer want you to fly, understand that now!
The harassment and sabotage of travelers by Schiphol has everything to do with the 2030 global plan to keep air traffic only for the elite, this is stated in the plan of the Marxist Klaus Schwab of the WEF
http://reparti.free.fr/schwab2020.pdf
Recently, very long queues of waiting passengers have arisen at Schiphol Airport. This even led to some incidents and aggression. The queues are so long that some even miss their flight, which causes an (expensive) disappointment, Schiphol rejects claims for damages, also watch the program 'vakantieman' from broadcaster MAX
"Schiphol top man" Dick Benschop will have to answer to the House of Representatives for the chaos, which "partly arose as a result of staff shortages" - accounting for this is a joke as many members of the House of Representatives (including our own MP) also are members of the WEF, so we at WC duck advise WC duck.
So there are no people to be found for Schiphol? where have all those people gone? Why not hire new staff, otherwise double wages temporarily, now the damage is much greater.
However, this is not going to happen because this is all part of a grand scheme.
This gentleman Dick Benschop is laughing on Mr Schwab's website, coincidence? what a lot of coincidences lately!
https://www.weforum.org/people/dick-benschop
Completely agree with you! it's not mismanagement either, it's pure design to make it impossible for us to travel anymore. I don't feel the need to go to the Netherlands at the moment (which is probably easier than going back)
On the internet it is completely and completely clear what the people of the WEF want (they say it straight to your face). For example, they want to get rid of private ownership of cars as soon as possible. It seems to me that then the chaos breaks out in Thailand.
Schwabs strives for a more humane capitalism, and that is diametrically opposed to Marxist ideas! Those who love capitalism will have to agree that the system has its share of problems: natural resources are not infinite, crisis every few years, various contradictions within the system. If the elite want to secure their position, they have to compromise, otherwise the tide will turn quickly. Be it because nature punishes us or that the ordinary citizen is fed up. In order to keep the system for at least a few more generations, there are plans to ensure that.
It is possible that restricting air traffic is part of this. I think most people here can agree that we pollute quite a bit. Then ideas such as a flight tax come into the picture, but it is of course also clear that you then make flying less attractive or simply unaffordable for the smaller purse. The higher incomes will still fly around quietly, whether or not in private jets. We against inequality will have to recognize that more expensive air travel increases inequality instead of reducing it.
I don't have the solution for that either: less pollution is a must, but in this increasingly smaller world where people have family and friends on the other side of the world, it is not fair that for 'lesser' incomes bad or unaffordable. A tax certainly does not seem to me to be the solution unless you can compensate for it in other ways (but then what is the point of the tax?). Who knows, short-haul air traffic should become more or less impossible for everyone (with the HSL between Paris and Amsterdam instead of the flying machine), or impose a limit on everyone's flying kilometers so that people from the Quote 1 can get to Bangkok just as easily or with difficulty as the shop assistant on the corner.
And meanwhile, the struggle between the elite (capital-owning classes) and the plebs will continue. This also includes the battle to distribute the consequences of flying/travelling. And whatever Schwabs envisions, it can never be Marxist unless they want to make their capital cooperative or public and democratic property of the plebs. I don't see that happening...
Moderator: the subject of this posting is Schiphol. you stray too much.
The world is terminally ill and that is taking its toll in many ways.
It is incomprehensible that an incompetent figure like Dick Benschop has not been fired a long time ago. (Contrary to what some people claim, the chaos at Schiphol has nothing to do with corona, but everything with mismanagement.)
In times of crisis, those who have been promoted quickly fall through the basket, often blaming the 'other', they will straighten things out after all, at that level it is 'us knows us' and most prefer to keep it that way.
Yes, it's a mess in much of the aviation industry.
Think that as an old acquaintance once said to me 'The worst is yet to come' will become true in the BV.europa.
That slow Dick Benschop is simply the cat catcher of Schiphol, that has all been planted and arranged well in advance.
Do you really think that otherwise such a slow diver could stay on in this position at such a crucial moment, well not at all!
“was predicted in advance” I read in another response and that attitude is typical of how the Dutch government and media approach this problem. It sounds like it was also largely your own fault. Because predicted. Well, if it had been predicted, then Schiphol would have had the task and duty to prevent it! After all, you pay for it. In recent years, the fee you pay for security has been increased. To enable the growth in passengers, to invest in better scan ports, so that the check is faster.
These arguments are all nonsense! Flight schedules are known well in advance. They say months, but in some cases just years. Because airlines do not give up their slots (take-off and landing rights). Passenger numbers are also known really far in advance. That there is now a shortage of personnel is incorrect. What is there is market forces. If an employee can earn € 20 per hour elsewhere and € 15 per hour at Schiphol, where will he/she go to work? Schiphol (and this has been confirmed several times by experts) simply had the arrogance to think that with a telephone call to the temporary employment agency the next morning she had 100 extra employees. Not so. They apparently think that everyone considers it an honor to be able to work voluntarily at Schiphol.
The argument that it is the same at other airports is also incorrect. Yes, there are queues everywhere, but rarely 4 hours. London Heathrow is indeed at least as bad, but in Brussels, Dusseldorf and even Frankfurt people do not miss their flights en masse.
It is an outright mockery that Schiphol, according to many a very important part of and for our economy, fails to properly fulfill its basic task. Schiphol is in many Top 10 lists and those are sad lists such as "number of flight cancellations, waiting times, loss of luggage". Schiphol has always claimed (and in my opinion rightly so) that the majority of passengers (local boarding and transfer) are business people. You can count on this misery to have an impact on the business people who travel via Schiphol. There are really going to be people who will avoid Schiphol in the future.
There is absolutely no direction in this misery. Dick Benschop is not visible, just as politicians do not take control. “was predicted” is the rhetoric. And remember that Schiphol has raised its rates to the airlines (and therefore ultimately to you!) in a very ordinary way to compensate for the losses from 2020 and 2021. Because Schiphol has to make a profit. That profit goes to the government as a shareholder, so you could also say that it is in their interest if Schiphol does not incur any costs to hire extra staff. Because staff costs money. That you stand in line for 4 hours… well, you survived, so what's the problem?
Hallo,
This was indeed predicted as Bart said it. However, there was no adequate response to these predictions by the airports themselves.
The chaos therefore ends up -completely- on the plate of the failing “ceoots of the airports”. How difficult is it to notice when the airlines themselves indicate that they have sold so many tickets?
I hope to leave for BKK with Eva from mid-September.
It was indeed predicted whatever others would like to say.
It has been in the news extensively! It would be difficult summer months, especially due to the lack of staff. There is a long wait at security at EVERY major airport. And the people who prove otherwise simply don't want to see it.
I can also predict that there will be a long queue at the Big C on Ratchaprasong Bsngkok if there is only 1 cashier. Whether customers will be understanding because I predict it now, I highly doubt it.
If you own a business and provide a service or service, then it is your job to provide that service. Hiding behind a “prediction” that comes from your own mismanagement is just laughable
Maybe you should work as a manager at the airport. If you think to 'just' remove the shortage of personnel from your magic hat, then you have no idea what the real cause of the problem is.
By the way, haven't you noticed that it's not just the aviation sector that suffers from huge staff shortages? Alarm bells were ringing everywhere. The global Corona crisis has caused a lot of staff turnover. This is not solved with a snap of fingers.
I will therefore be the last to point the finger at the airport management. Unfortunately, those people cannot perform miracles. Do you Dennis?
Dear Dennis,
It's exactly as you say it. A company such as Schiphol is a service provider and it is up to them how to fill it in. If you don't like it, go to another company. The indulgence was pure luxury and now it might be smarter to become more creative yourself and look for alternatives.
A former manager once gave me the tip "King, emperor, admiral, we don't care about almost everyone" in other words if you appreciate us we will do everything for you but if you are going to complain then you should quickly go to someone else. It is the clearest system to see if you have a right to exist if you do not want to lower yourself to the lowest minimum legal standards.
Staff shortages are a global problem and are not just an issue at Schiphol Airport. Benschop is therefore also responsible for the 'conditions' at LHR and other airports, not to mention the staff shortages in catering, healthcare, retail, transport and so on. All Benschop's responsibility. Where there are no 'suitable' personnel, shortages arise that are very difficult or impossible to fill, something that we will have to learn to live with in all kinds of situations for the time being.
Just read a message (YouTube) from someone who lives in Chiang Mai and flew back to Bangkok from Germany via Schiphol this month. Fazit; 1 big drama and for him never again. That is what Schiphol achieves with its incompetence. As I wrote above in my earlier response; this costs Schiphol a lot of passengers, more than she would like, and therefore money. The cost savings initiated by the previous director Nijhuis and continued by Benschop ultimately cost Schiphol money instead of generating money. Staff gone and soon the passengers too. That is bad policy (also from the Rutte governments that approved this). Pure mismanagement. In 2035, this will be compulsory teaching material for Public Administration, Business Economics, Personnel Management, etc. You cannot slaughter the goose that lays the golden eggs and keep thinking that it will keep laying eggs
We traveled to Bangkok via Brussels. Waited hours in advance for check-in. Once open, 10 minutes and then it's your turn.
Bought a fast lane pass for € 11,00 pp and within 2 minutes control and customs.
All in all went smoothly. In Thailand with wife through Thai customs. Also 5 minutes.
Followed from Schiphol to Ibiza yesterday, we were prepared for everything, but what was our surprise, I have rarely seen it so quiet and organized (on a busy day), for example at check-in there were 4 counters open, at 1 of the counters someone just walked away and we were the only ones. We were also through security within 15 minutes. They apparently got the capacity back up to speed quickly.
And Hans, 9 times out of 10 (perhaps even more often) departing from an arrival airport is faster than the other way around, this has little to do with the effectiveness of the Thai, but more with the actions that differ considerably at a departure and arrival airport. (I have often had long waiting times when leaving from Suvharnabum)
It's Fleurtje's fault. She travels to the end of the world, and everyone is eager to follow her, to the most bizarre places. And then Erica, she also knows what to do with it: with that whopper you mainly eat exotic food, God knows where in the world. No wonder the airports are a mess, there are far too many of us wanting to go everywhere. Thailand is enough for me haha.
This is not at all a problem for Schiphol alone. Last week I flew from Dusseldorf via Heathrow to Bangkok. Long queues at both airports and lost luggage on arrival in Bangkok.
People are lining up here again to proclaim that the predicted problems were not adequately addressed. Shame on you dear people. Do you really think that the airport management willfully ignore those problems?
Many jobs at the airports require thorough training, so it goes without saying that they will not be filled in the short term. But all our smug specialists here on the blog only think of their own problems.
Expressing frustrations is one thing, coming up with solutions is another. And we better leave that to the people with the right knowledge.
It is a bit different if you yourself, like me, have worked at Schiphol.
Already left in 2016… You can guess why.
My current job already generates almost 800 euros more per month. Net and without overtime!
Schiphol is a great place to work, but I've had enough of exploiting/squeezing…
Not to forget, there are 2 parties. One is Schiphol, where Benschop holds sway and the other is KLM/Air France, Elbers in the Netherlands. The Dutch (R) government is a shareholder in both parties.
It first started with a wildcat strike, KLM ground staff. For years ! there seems to be dissatisfaction among the group. I think KLM wants to get rid of permanent KLM contracts and people do indeed use work desks. And so is Schiphol. Everything nice and flexible to shift more to the shareholders.
The Dutch (r) government is therefore a major shareholder in both parties. Another shareholder in Schiphol is Amsterdam.
At KLM/AF I read that the CEO has an annual salary of 900000 euros/year. That is already standard, on top of that it gets additional bonuses. I read that that was 3,4 million euros!
Elbers was only at 500000 euros ex bonus.
I also read differently, probably depending on time. They had to give something up.
However, it will rise again over time. It will also be included in a contract.
That while a ground baggage worker earns tops 13 euros / hour. On TV I saw a woman who had worked for KLM or Schiphol for 25 years and who had made 2 euros per hour in her entire "career". Maybe gross.
Benschop, Schiphol, only gets 600000 euros/year excluding bonuses, can't find anything about his bonuses.
Security wages have dropped over time from 3500 to 2200 euros/month. Tada.
Well, if you earn more as a security guard elsewhere, you'd be crazy if you ever return to permanent employment at Schiphol. It only calls more to work as a freelancer.
You can safely ask for 70 euros / hour net due to the tight labor market, but you have to take care of your own pension, of course. And there are some extra things, but…
This also happens in healthcare. Resign and become self-employed. No more extra responsibility (which they first did from feeling) and cancel if you don't like it. And every hour extra or otherwise, charge more.
There are more companies that are reducing salaries more, with management improving.
So it's a global management tendency, squeezing employees. I think really deployed in Europe in the beginning of this century, 2000, EU formation, participation BS. Rules in work contracts reduced towards employee.
Recently spoke to a retired colleague. Could get 10000 euro/month to come back for factory start up. Since the new employees don't really know how to start up the factory.
All know-how disappeared. However, he did not like, certainly not, what the working relationship was like when he still worked there. And certainly the working relationships changed, I have noticed myself.
As Leo already wrote, a reset during and after corona. Various resets in the 21st century.
EU formation nr 1. 2008 money crisis the next corona and again following Ukraine war. The climate reset will then run in between everything.
Monkey pox won't do much, but China is already lining up for another reset.
Should even read something so “stupid” (?) that Russia is talking about taking back Alaska !
Yahoo news mentioned that. OK, are we going to do some more resets?
The situations in flying will not, I think. change and disorder remains. After all, no personnel with proper training, unless they start paying. Labor migration?
According to house economist Mathijs Bouwman at “nieuwsuur”, labor migration is not a solution.
It was about the agriculture section. There are no pickers (vegetables, fruit) to harvest, so all these companies MUST move to other countries. Westland and others have to go, ole.
Thought it was a joke, but no, he really meant it. I literally fell off my chair.
I can fully imagine that the farmers are angry and taking action! Support them fully in this, but it must not be at the expense of a life.
I don't understand why the allowance parents don't react more fiercely, harder. Isn't nothing, 11000 children removed from home. Now locked up in a prison. 30000 households or more destroyed.
Or the people of Groningen, or the people of Drenthe (also suffer from earthquakes). Small campsites are destroyed and become luxurious parks for sale.
Actually the entire Dutch people, because it is sad with our government, every government..
Blackrock has 1700 homes in Amsterdam and Rotterdam and through dubious constructions, they do not pay taxes and more companies have such constructions.
Was a documentary on TV, the Dutch state is missing out on 7 billion / year in income! Ding dong ?!*? .
My trust in politics, government, companies, organizations? 0.0
The author indicates Schiphol, but actually it is the beginning of the collapse of the house of cards in the BV. Europe.
Not a symptom, just one of many.
Something that has been going on for twenty if not thirty years, unfortunately.
The top of companies and certainly those with shareholders have a relatively large amount of chaff between the wheat, as you have already indicated.
The 'ordinary' citizen would like to participate in this.
Only saw in an article that 50% [approximately] of the bourgeoisie in the Netherlands work part time.
If it is correct on paper, the rest is secondary.
The 'I am, we are' has changed to 'me, in myself and I'
The common phrase 'resetting' that I've heard for a few years, is done with a PC or your mobile phone with a small number of actions.
In real life………………………
Wait a little longer with visits to the home country until 2023.
On average, for every 10 new retirees in Western countries, there are only slightly more than 7 school leavers. In many discussions this important aspect is forgotten. A direct result is a brain drain. That's how Dutch companies are, but also the government! recruiting on the Flemish labor market. Last Friday, 5 nurses resigned in Zol Genk to start today in the hospital in Maastricht, where they will earn 800 euros more per month.
