You get paid for your lunch break as well. And you get paid more than in Sweden. Maybe that’s the bribe for needing to live in Denmark 😛
But you don’t have any individual salary discussions whatsoever? We also love our kollektivavtal, but you still usually get a certain percentage that’s to be split around the employees… and there’s nothing hindering you from negotiating higher outside of these discussions; if my raise was decided to be 3%, I could still talk to my boss a couple weeks later and say I want an additional 10% or I’m quitting. There’s nothing union-related that’d block him doing that.
But it’s still usually best to hop to a new place after a couple years, if numbers are the biggest factor for you.
