    Does anyone still use LinkedIn?

    For now yes - am looking for a new role. Once that is done I will be downgrading to "vanilla" LinkedIn

    My domestic worker is taking me to the labour court

    Guys, come to Australia where a casual cleaner costs you A$50 (~R600) per hour. You quickly learn to do the housework yourself (I still hate ironing with a passion though)

    Checkers runs ads in UK, Australia – to remind expats of 'better lifestyle' in SA

    Checkers runs ads in UK, Australia – to remind expats of 'better lifestyle' in SA

    All true. For me an eye-opening observation is the way mechanisation is used here due to the high labour costs - the garbage truck is staffed my 2 guys (not 8 like ZA), most check-out counters are self-checkout and not manned, etc
