Poodler Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Get paid more for working less hours. Places close early all the time as everyone clocks off for beach/ bbq - work/ life balance is much better than the uk. no jukeboxes and no character bars though petrol is £1/L and there’s no silly energy prices. looks absolutely shit in Scotland right now (but will be back) Link to comment

Lots of good and varied countries to visit within a couple hours flight. Can't do that from Australia. Should all just stay in our own bit anyway. Same as you Don Australia is too far away but the likes of Spain less than 3 hours away with plenty of places to fly from in Scotland . Link to comment

The attitude to work in the UK, where time spent at work is often valued above productivity, is a shambles and it's absolutely a reason why the UK has some of the lowest productivity in Europe. Can certainly see the appeal of Australia. I don't think there in particular is for me, but an outdoors lifestyle and a better work:life balance is massively appealing. Link to comment

There’s just been a trial of a 4 day working week in the uk that has, unsurprisingly, proven to be largely successful with increased productivity, lower stress levels, and happier workforce. From what I read, quite a few of the companies involved in the trial have kept it at 4 days instead of 5. It’s a no brainer really. Link to comment

Aye, but no cunt answers the phone and you can't get a GP appointment etc. Good for the staff, not so great for customers. Link to comment
