  1. That’s not bad for a waiter, i would have thought a little bit less than that..

    I work as a store manager and make about 35 after taxes

    ​

    I’ll hijack my own comment to add this that i think many of you need to read!
    This is a reply from me to a fella down in the comments that has been working in the finance sector for about 40 years and make less than one of my 24 year old butikkmedarbeider.

    “The older generations, such as yourself, i have noticed don’t want to talk openly about their wage with their coworkers. This is a huge mistake!!!

    Talk about it, compare it- compare experience and pay. Make sure that everyone you work with has an acceptable pay and don’t let those filthy fucking middle managers stop you.

    I’ve been yelled at by my bosses and HR because i’ve pushed my employees to unionize- because they didn’t make enough. And my boss didnt like that at all, since they have to pay more..

    Every company try to pay the least amount they can for the most amount of work they can unload on you. If you don’t stand up for yourself- and your boss don’t do it either- who is gonna do it?

    In my store i am very open with my employees with what i make and what they should make. If they don’t make enough I make sure to fight for them to my bosses and get them what they deserve.

    Before they unionized i got 3 of them a 40k/year raise because they were gravely underpayed when started. After they joined the union they got between 5 and 10k extra depending on experience and age.

    Everything is going up in price now- electricity, food etc. etc.
    Your paycheck should mirror that.”

  2. I dont mind sharing my earnings, but you do know that information like this is available at SSB?

    Anyway i am employed in the state, gross 44 000, net 32 000.

  3. At first I thought that seemed pretty high as a waiter, but then I realized you actually worked 25 hours more than the “average” work month (37.5 hr week/150 hrs month ). I am just over 39k pre tax, 27k after taxes, kindergarten teacher (though “pedagogical leader”).

  4. I had to go and look for my slip, 23.112,- before tax. and 17,242 after. lol

    it’s funny because I work fulltime, but I only get paid 50% for now (apprentice). But also, my current “half pay” fulltime wage, is more than I earned as a full time store-clerk and 100% pay.
    So even if I have “shitty” wage compared to my coworkers, I would never in a million years go back to being a store clerk or ever work with people/clients again

  5. Manager : 60k after tax.
    Not entitled to overtime but can flex my hours if I like. As long as the job gets done, hours aren’t too important.

  6. I work as a (electrical) technician, 7,5 hours/5 days I earn between 39k-50k after tax, per month depending if I work overtime or not. (I am 23 years old) And I’m very lucky to have paid lunch breaks as well 🙂

  7. This is a reply that i gave another fella down in the comments- but i think it’s important that more people see this and actually realize that you are worth way more in pay than you might think!

    Stand up for yourselves and demand that you are paid what you deserve!!!

  8. Socialworker (sosionom) working about 35 hours a week with occasionally days off. After taxes : 33500kr about 34% tax

  9. These kind of posts generally make a lot of people sad (and with big reason).

    Most of the time, people are not valued and/or taken advantage of.
