Jajajaja this is Iceland and the labour laws are very fucking strong here

Just so that is very clear

They'd pay such a high fine here for this, that the manager would get fired at the spot

"Let you go" is such a stupid euphemism for "fire you"

"hey, thanks for reminding me that i'm allowed to quit, but i'll stay for now, cheers!"

@cyu
Axelsson needs to take a look at federal laws about this. He may up losing his ass and camel.

This is in Iceland (the country), so most likely that manager is even more fucked than he would be in the US.

I can't believe he was stupid enough to put this in writing.
