How to learn Swedish in 1000 difficult lessons

After nearly two months of endless meetings, rounds of nasty e-mails, exhausting management meetings and vaguely uncomfortable one-on-one meetings, the salary-setting at the company is finished.

I hate setting people's salaries.

The Swedish phrase for the day is i värsta fall. It means in the worst case.
