Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

basically lightly trained adults supervising and organizing games and playtime and crafts etc.

That sounds like a fun job. Is the pay shit?

By Swedish standards yes. It's a typical retirement job, most working long term are 50+ and tired of their old career track. The other portion of staff are young people just done with school in some care profession but hasn't yet found a steady job in their field.

Of course there are people that work there all their life but it's the exception in my experience.

I'd say in the rural areas the pay is sufficient, but in the major cities it's not, too much has to go to rent or you need to commute for way too long.

I would doubt it. Shit even in Sweden pay for working at McDonald's is pretty solid.

You'd be wrong, you can be paid shit in Sweden too. But then you usually pay lower taxes too, so maybe it evens out. Thanks to social system and healthcare included it is still better than in the US though.

Some days I feel lucky to be born in Canada; some days I don't.
