Works laws a Joke in Brasil ?

A stat agents here in Brasil, agents for selling homes stop paying staff the normal off the books wage and makes them work for commission only, Laws for for people here in Brasil seem not to exist and if so are not strong enough to protect the works. People can be sacked in a day a not get any pay from any work done, Laws are for show and not for the workers rights.

Take this one new manager starts he has to get to know whats on the books , the staff and then start dealing with people want to sell and buy, I know for a fact that selling a house is not ease at all I sold one years ago and had 15 people come to see it all with other house to sell before they could move if they wanted it, after all this was a cash buy from some one who had know house to sell.

I had over 15 people come and see the house and it was the cash buyer who fell in love with it like I did 3yrs before, he signed a contract and was classed as self employed and had to work 6 days a week, the other no contract self employed and again 6 days a week which means they can not work ells ware how is this good Law.

In your first month here in Brasil they want 30,000 from you from selling house, they expect you to make this or losses your job, the people that own these places have not got a clue about what they are doing just because there first branch made this our more dose not mean when they keep opening more that this will be the case for all of them, punishing staff and not paying them dose not help.

Yes the staff want to keep the job yes they work hard to sell homes but at the end of day you can not make some buy the house showed, you can be as nice as a Angel give the coffee take them out for a meal and even sleep with them in the hope they will buy from you so you can keep your basic pay and then get commission on top.

I say the law is a ass and the people who treat staff like dirt when self empolyed.

The con of having CDs and DVDs

The truth about CDs and DVDs and the players you need for them.

Some of us remember if from the UK a program called tomorrows world about new goods to expect and how they worked.


When the makers of the CDs said that these would last forever and play with out any problems, un like records and they even showed us by damaging them and then putting them on to play and yes they did.
(or was it changed over for a other one?)

So why after all this time is that when they are damaged they do not play properly if at all, they also said they would last longer than records when in I have found that it has been the records that have lasted better than the CDs.

And the same for DVDs they said that they would play even starched or but as we all now that this is just one more lie that they told us, and they did not mention that there would be six regions which means that if you buy a DVD in one region it would play others.

Video tapes only have two regions and cost less as well, secondly most videos players could play any tape that you had with out any trouble, so why do DVDs have six regions and that most players only play one, why do the film makers fell the need for so many regions, and why the makes of the players make units that will play all. Best of all  lets just have the one region for all, so when you buy from a other country you can play it at home.

(You see life is a con and never belive what is said by them.)
