A while ago the trams introduced a new announcement, to accomodate the option to check out with a bank card. It's a female voice and it went: "Please don't forget to check out, even with your bank card." After a while they changed the line (might be off a bit): "Don't forget to check out, also with your bank card." My question is casual: which one is your favourite? The former had a softer tone, which could be more reassuring. The latter was less soft. I can imagine that it's to keep the passengers alert to pay attention. submitted by /u/Only_Log_8546 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey, me and two other friends have our eyes set on a rental. However, the landlord says that only two people can register even though it's a 3 bedroom apartment. But the rent is pretty high unfortunately. Can my friend still stay registered at his parents' home if he lives in the house? Theoretically, if they claimed that they were a gay couple - there's no chance that they could prove otherwise right? Just wondering, how would this work for polyamorous couples? submitted by /u/christophr88 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, I am renting a 1-bedroom apartment located in the city center in Amsterdam (5min walk to central station). I was living here with my former girlfriend and am looking for someone who would be open to swap apartments (with rental contracts). Anyone know if there are platforms/websits where i can sign up? i did not find anything suitable for longtime-swaps. Thanks very much. submitted by /u/Sufficient-Spread-98 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, This week, along with 20 others, I received the news that we'll be parting ways. I've been employed in the IT sector at one of the world's largest companies for the past 3.5 years under a permanent contract. The situation is complex: we were informed verbally that our positions will be filled by a team from a third-world country to reduce costs. This sounded very shady to me. As far as I understand, terminating employees with permanent contracts requires valid reasons and they cannot simply replace us with someone else when letting us go. The company I'm with operates as a sub ..read more

I have a Swapfiets ebike. Usually I will take the battery out of the bike for the safety. However, that time I need to firstly bike to Zuid station, then leave AMS for a couple days. So, it is impossible for taking the battery with me. Anyone has the experience for storing their e-bike in that place for couple days? submitted by /u/Little_Week2245 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
