marius<p>Another amusing and absurd fact from the German unemployment bureaucracy is that you are not allowed to work on open-source projects while unemployed, because it's "work", and people that work don't receive unemployment benefits. </p><p>Getting a bit defensive, I argued it's less like work and more like training for getting a job, and I've been told that it's the same, if I'm taking part in training that *they* haven't provided for me, then that's also considered as reason to not being "unemployed".</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/kafka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kafka</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/bureaucracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bureaucracy</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/deutschland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deutschland</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 31, 1809: Nikolai Gogol, the Russian-Ukrainian novelist, was born. Gogol was one of the first authors to use surrealism and absurdism (see “The Nose,” “The Overcoat,” and “Nevsky Prospekt.”) Many of his works satirized Russian political corruption, like “Dead Souls,” and the “Government Inspector.” He influenced several generations of writers, including Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Nabakov, Kafka and Flannery O’Connor. The gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, took their name from him.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gogol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gogol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>russia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>satire</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/surrealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surrealism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kafka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kafka</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dostoevsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dostoevsky</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/courruptiohn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>courruptiohn</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/punk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>punk</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
