MiddleOne posted:'But don't you get it, we are disruptive job creators, we are heroes dammit! We shouldn't have to fill out forms! This is so close to the truth it's ridiculous. I know a number of people from the expat scene coming here to workplaces without collective bargaining agreements, that are willing to spend $$$ in immigration lawyers to argue their way out of tjänstepensioner and workplace accident insurance. At least from 2008, when the new work visa system came into effect, to 2014, when they realized there were a suspicious number of 19 kkr/month kebabtekniker jobs that couldn't be filled by Swedish/EU workforce, plenty of employers got away with offering jobs that no union would sign off on (a union statement is attached to the job offer which is attached to the work visa application). Probably since the Utlänningslagen is written so that you can offer a job with worse terms than the collective bargaining agreements as long as it follows "praxis inom yrket eller branschen." Migrationsverket is stricter now, which means that lots of folks 2015-2016 having to renew 2 year work visas that they got before migget got its poo poo together are getting  decisions.

There is a incubator just next door to my job, and the employment in general seems to be short term contracts and virtual companies. In one case I heard about a one month contract that was prolonged at the day of termination because the person was needed for another month. And this is in general for people with PhD.

Onlinepizza already tried this 4 years ago but as it turns out the reason delivery has always been and continues to be impossible as a business model in Sweden is because people are simply not willing to pay for the labour costs of the delivery. Unless you start paying the runners without paying taxes somehow the employment costs will never go below 200kr/hour. With an average of around two deliveries an hour in the industry that amounts to a 100kr per delivery which is a premium no one is willing to pay for to have their food delivered on a semi-regular basis. I'm sure the industry is lobbying fiercely to get food deliveries rolled into RUT but at the moment it's not happening. Wolt at least is trying to work around this with automatization in Finland (boxes on wheels to be specific) but Foodora and Uber Eats have no long-term plan. *Their contracts are truly garbage though. They push the bare minimum of what Swedish laws allow and make Mcdonalds look like a good employer by comparison. The employment contract de-regulations of the Persson and Reinfeldt years really need to be looked over and rolled back. Cardiac posted:Well, it doesn't have to be unlivable wages ( unless you are in Stockholm). Central Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö are the only places dense enough to even theoretically make their business models work so no they are unlivable. Also, the dis-functionality of employment contracts in academia for anyone without tenure shouldn't really be held as anything to strive for.

To be clear, I was talking about the conditions at the local incubator, which is somewhat separate from your example. They live on VC money, but the wages are enough to live on around here. It is after all cheaper than Stockholm. Also, I wasn't talking about employment contracts in academia, but rather the employment contracts for people with PhDs. Don't get a PhD BTW, don't get me started on employment contracts within academia.

Then that's not really comparable to the bottom of the service ladder is it? It's not like the Foodora/Wolt/UberEats bicycler owns a stake in the business. They are just employees and should be compensated in accordance.  If the examples you had in mind don't get shares then that is just depressing.

So the defense allegedly got "hacked" by Russian intelligence, which is to say, one or more people potentially located in Russia sent phishing mails and employees gave them full access to their mail servers. According to a report from the Center for Cyber Security, the department of the Defense Intelligence Services that handles all national surveillance and IT security, nobody bothered to change the passwords for a long time after it was discovered. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Mogens Glistrup was right about one thing.

RE: the Spotify (and streaming in general) discussion on the previous page, apparently it's simply a case of the big record labels wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. As usual. Streaming has boosted growth in the global music industry, to the fastest growth in 20 years. http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7775019/ifpi-global-report-2017-music-industry-highest-revenue-growth-decades quote:At the end of 2016, there were 112 million paid music subscribers worldwide, according to the IFPI. When users of ad-supported streaming services are factored in, that number rises to 212 million, with total streaming revenues climbing 60 percent year-on-year to just over $3.9 billion. Streaming now makes up the majority (59 percent) of digital revenues, while digital (downloads and streaming) accounts for more than half of all record sales in 25 markets. One hundred and twelve million people, each paying around  to  a month to access music, and a further one hundred million people still generating streaming revenue through ads. That is pretty drat solid.Spotify is good, both for the music business and for the end users. And yet the big record labels continue to scream and moan about piracy.

I also read that Spotify pays advance installments of millions of dollars and that this money isn't likely to end up in an artists' pocket. It still feels like it's the labels that's holding money back. Also, the "what if they bought the album instead" argument is still as dumb as it was in 2002. Speaking of which, what profit margin did the record store have? Higher or lower that Spotify, or about the same?

"According to its financial disclosures, the majority of Spotify’s revenue, around 80 percent, has been flowing out the door to the rights holders. "You can’t squeeze blood from a stone," said David Pakman, the former CEO of eMusic and partner at Venrock. "Your beef can’t be with Spotify anymore." At least not with Spotify alone."

And my beef isn't with spotify alone. but spotify still isn't paying that much to the rights holders (which means that the artists themselves gets even less). You have to be an artist like Drake or Rihanna to actually make money by being on spotify.

You have to be an artist like Drake or Rihanna to actually make money by being on spotify. No, you have to be Drake or Rhianna to make more than 70 million per year from Spotify as per that article. And it is pretty dumb to think that just because you are a random folk-pop artist you deserve to get paid in similar amounts by Spotify. Spotify is not supposed to generate the bulk of income for the vast majority of artists, it is supposed to be one revenue stream out of several and a way to spread your work so that you can get a positive multiplier on other revenue streams. Not every genre or artist is fit for the kind of economy of scale that Spotify embodies, just as IKEA is not the place to go if you want personal or custom furniture.
