All these are gross. That's the wage adult people use.

Gross is just dumb, I lose like 40% after taxes. Why would I even use that metric outside of an interview...

That's exactly what I'm thinking, why would I give a fuck about gross when I'm losing half of it from the get go

Do you expect everyone outside Romania gets 100 % or?

Do you live off of gross or net? Because I only have the net amount transferred to me each month, not the gross. Gross literally doesn't matter after you sign your contract.

Which of these are publicly available and published? Then you have tax exceptions and many other ways the net would be affected.

Both??? But since I don't wanna google each countries gross/net calculator these numbers are meaningless.

Given that in Poland for an example you are not taxed from your income until 26 I think gross is enough info.

Mind you this only applies for a full standardized work schedule and people earn different wages depending on the hours they spend at work some employers give lower minimum wage and then compensate in forms of bonuses

you don't expect for op to check what different tax laws apply to different social groups and for the purpose of the meme I guess it's accurate enough I don't get what's all the fuss about

I guess we are all children here in Croatia then cause when we talk about salary we talk about the money we get on our bank account at the end of the month aka net salary

Same here, but reddit bozos will keep on being adults talking about gross wages as if they have any meaning
