Jesus, as a Brit, this reads like a loving nightmare. Especially the 1 week holiday. You should vote that Sanders guy in and get yourself 30 days paid leave like the socialist paradise we have over here. Many things may suck in the UK, but free healthcare and minimum paid leave are pretty sweet.

How does that work in practice? What happens if you need an electrician to visit your house or see a professional about something?

We had to fire one of our employees recently. We had inherited him from an outsource and basically he was not up to the job. It took approximately 9 months of paperwork and then we paid him three months wages as a golden handshake.

I don't know whether that's right or wrong but the concept of firing people without massive admin is basically impossible in the EU. Assuming you're a permanent employee. Most people get paid off.

The situation sounds poo poo. I've been to Utah. The people were nice but a bit weird.
