About the work life balance thing, it depends on the industry and company. I have noticed that in tech field where I have worked here for over a decade that is not exactly the case so much. As you said, people expect you to get done by Friday if it was agreed so, you will see a lot people usually work a lot of extra hours. That happens pretty frequently since quite often deadlines are decided by people above you and estimation can get tricky often times. Another thing is that work is very flexible in Finland, but it has the negative issue that it makes tracking how much you work difficult.
On IT, the sprint deadlines (on Friday, which is usually the custom) are usually so arbitrary that you will do well, if you don't stress about them. If your team has a scrumm master who does stress about them, then just triple the work hour estimates initially, since they are going to fill the weeks with useless ceremonies you must attend. In the worst case it leads people to burn out or extreme go horsing the projects through. Luckily there are better work methodologies that are becoming more popular.
I’m glad Finland is so great with the unions! The professor union seems really neat! The unions in the states are kind of the same but Film Unions are not. They basically only let the “elite” join. If you want to work post production it’s extremely bad and no one helps. Don’t work in film unless you’re doing something on your own. If you want to work for a large studio, be prepared to be taken advantage of greatly. Yes this is from personal experience.
You almost sold me to move to Finland! I visited Helsinki for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. If only your language was at least somehow similar to any language I speak. About flat hirarchies and using your first name in a professional context: I have dealt with Swedish customers, grown up men who didn't know me at all and vice versa, who started using their first names (and mine as well) at our first E-Mail contact and even used emojies. Do you Finns behave similarly? Greetings from Germany!
There are exceptions on the hierarchy rule though. For example in medical world there is clear structures where nurses don't criticize doctors (to their faces) and they follow their rules even when they actually know better. It's a bit sad. Talking though is informal in Finland in all of the occupations in a sense of using first names as mentioned.
That's a good thing, as long as the doctors aren't bone headed. They have a higher education and get a higher salary because they have more responsibility. If we lived in a world where nurses could do it their way every time, then on average the patient would be worse off. The nurses shouldn't make critical final decisions. If a doctor is doing their job poorly in Finland, rest assured that there will be repercussions.
@incumbentvinyl9291 In theory what you say is true. In practicality the nurse can have a lot more experience on specific things because often doctors are doctors of many things and the nurses have more specific areas of responsibility. But the doctor thinks they know best and that can have bad consequences. Also I don't think (when it's not a life and death situation right now) it would be bad for the doctors to listen ideas or feedback from the nurses too from time to time since they work quite closely together often. That I think should be normal in any workplace. What I have heard that's not often the case though in medical field. Also I would like to be naive and believe that doctors get repercussions of screw ups in Finland but I unfortunately know that in most of (public sectors) places have too few doctors and smaller the place the harder it's to get new ones there. So if the doctor doesn't do very big mistakes and multiple times it's unlikely for there to be any proper consequences for them.
@@magicofshootingstar I disagree. A nurse can think they know best too. Doesn't mean they're right. Once again, I disagree. It's not difficult to lose your licence if you make mistakes.
@incumbentvinyl9291 Well let's take a super simplistic example: nurse gives every day I fluids to fifteen patient. A doctor prescribes two of them a day. Which one would you prefer to decide the correct dosage and the spot to put the IV? The more educated doctor or the nurse who works with that specific thing many times every day? This is of course just a caricature of bigger things but you get the idea. About losing the license: more often than not it's up to patient to prove that there has been malpractice and then bring that to higher ups (potilasasiamies) and then if there are enough of those cases and they are bad enough there can be license lost. I personally know some cases where there has been clear malpractice but the doctor has fudged the patients records to sound like they didn't do anything wrong and the hospital doesn't take responsibility at all officially even if in private they have admitted the mistakes. Unfortunately those people who need to live with the consequences haven't felt strong enough to bring it to forward and fight for it. Not that it would bring their health back but it would make the doctor more careful next time. Not to mention the times when there hasn't actually happened anything bad but the doctor just thinks they know what's wrong with you before they talk with you and hear that things they are suggesting aren't possible and then they stuck with their intuition until you get lab results that say you where right all along and you still don't know why you were sick. Those cases especially don't get reported anywhere.
No one also tells that in Denmark you get 3900 euros per month for cleaning, while in finland just 2200 euros. While they still maintain same tax rate.
I work in a library, and often encounter immigrants who go there to scan, print or take copies of various documents to deliver them to different places. I'll try to keep your channel in mind if one of them would like to just get general advice on things like this.
This is very informative for foreigners like me. I hope Perus S will not put you in prison for sharing such useful information with us. Kiitos paljon for your effort.
The True Finns can not throw anyone in jail. This is up to the judgement of the neutral courts. Hopefully in the not so distant future unions will be outlawed and we can modernize away from communist ideologies.
Careful that in Finland you also have no minimum wage, you will see most employment which is gig economy, cleaning, etc will have extremely hourly rate. You can be exploited quickly, so know your rights like the video explains. Protect yourself as employers will even rip you off like any other country.
@@AleksiHimself Can you join a union if you are a freelancer? I am chasing money from a company because they cut off all contact and won't pay for invoice after doing work for them.
Hey Aleksi I've started learning Finnish on Duolingo a few weeks and im getting more used to the language Even though i still do kinda make mistakes but i tell myself "Its ok this is a really tough language that you are learning"
Hi Aleksi, i am currently studying in Germany, but Finnland has always intrigued me as a country. The beautiful Nature alone is enough for me to satisfy many needs, since i love to hike for hours. I have this opportunity in my University - because there is an Erasmus Programm, which lets you do 1-2 semesters abroad - which cooperates with the University of Helsinki. I am studying Social Sciences (Social Economics, Political Science, Sociology). My question is, does Finnland actually look for people with this Degree, like are there Job offers for someone like me? Or is this direction not really prominant around Finnland? Maybe someone like you, who dealt with Job Searching and has studied there knows if Finnland is actually looking for people from this Field or not.
With climate change heat in South Europe ,Finland is becoming more and more a tourist destination . However most finnish products have only finnish and swedish language on it ,so you can't understand basic things about the product. Finnish people must be prepared for more tourism in their country in the near future.
How can I know if a company is fake or not? Because there are a few fake once in Finland, too many. And in a job interview, they usually ask you how much money you want per hour. How should I know what is the usual hour per money for a specific job? Like if you say something too low, they take you. If you say something too high, then they look at you weird. How to know the balance to this. (coming from a country where you get fixed amounts of money) And because of that, there can be easily done work exploitation. Also, is YTK a union too? They pay a lot too when you get fired and unemployed. And about the 2 days holidays in a month: Isn't that only when you have worked in that company for at least a year? In the first year you don't get any holiday at all, what I have heard.
I'll answer in the same order as your questions: Quickly research the company's website and check their numbers on Finder.fi. If the company seems shady, they probably are. For salary, you should also research what other similar positions get paid. It's okay to suggest a higher salary, but you need to have grounds and negotiation skills. YTK is not a union; it is an employment fund. That¨s why I don't recommend YTK. As for the holidays, you do start accumulating 2 days per month, but depending on when you start working, you may not have many available holiday days during the holiday period, so you can't have a long paid holiday.
To clarify: only the vacation days accumulated before April are counted towards that summer's available vacation days. Those accumulated after April are to be used next summer. So if you started at a job on February 1st you accumulated 4 vacation days for this year's summer vacation, and by the end of next year's March you will accumulate 25 days for next year's summer vacation (2 d/m on your first year and 2,5 d/m after you have worked a full year). You can reserve some vacation days to be used later in the year, but you should be able to have at least two weeks of uninterrupted holiday during the summer months. This varies a bit by TES. For some ancient reason vacation week saturdays also eat up your vacation days, so for every week of vacation you use up 6 vacation days.
You can also find employees listed on different positions on the company websites and then use those names to find their yearly income from the computers in the tax office that are freely available for the public for anyone to search

Hi, I have some confusions with this Finnish unions and YTK Työttömyyskassa. Does it pay unemployment benifits like the KOKO? I have been joined for the YTK for more than year now. But I'm thinking should I change it with a Union instead? At the time I joined I had less understanding about these. Can you explain a bit about these two?
To summarize, YTK is only an unemployment fund (the name literally means "The general unemployment fund), but they ARE NOT a union. When you join a union, there Is always an unemployment fund membership associated with it. If I were you, I would research what union fits your case the best, join that, and dump YTK.
I have to say that Aleksi sounds more like a marketing person for the unions. If you join the unemployment fund for example YTK, they will pay you a higher unemployment benefit during unemployment if you meet their criteria. I am fairly sure that every union is also a member of some unemployment fund, so you will get the higher unemployment benefit regardless. The bonuses the union offers for their early annual fee varies from union to union. The question you have to ask yourself is: Do you benefit from these bonuses that the unions offer? You can read about them on their websites. You will get the same raises to your salary that the unions negotiate regardless if you are a union member or not. Personally, I was not happy with my own union and I am now a former member. I am an engineer and I was not happy with the results and actions of our union so I quit. I am now a member of an unemployment fund only. I did not see any benefits in being a member. We basically got some local discount at various locations and the union provides some interesting statistics and courses and it is good to know that if you get in a disagreement with your employer the union lawyer will help you out. But as I see it our union failed in every negotiation and the bonuses were miniscule. I might get some hate for not being a supporter of the unions but I don't care. I will join a union only if I am on their payroll.
Totally agree, I am at YTK as it covers unemployment and is very cheap while unions usually take a certain percentage from your salary( even if tax deductible, 2-3% is a lot of money) and unless you belong to a very special professional category where you might get abused by employers, there’s not much more you can get. As a manager, my contract does not follow collective agreements anyway as mentioned on the contract. All you could get is maybe better connections and job offers via your professional union. I also noticed that unions are pushing some of my employees to ask for pay rises very often, obviously they want their members to pay more. My technicians who are members of this union were actually entitled to an extra yearly bonus of a few hundred euros.
@@juha-mattikvist7883 I am speaking from personal experience. I was exploited at one of my previous jobs, and my union offered legal assistance from layers for free. Eventually, we found a settlement without having to go to court. Plus, the unions help understanding the job contartcs, collective agreements and more.
