That’s awesome. In germany you can’t save up your vacation days, you have to use them up usually until March of the following year, otherwise you will lose them. Which is stupid, i would like to save some up each year and maybe retire like a year early then.

11·22 hours agoThey did shit at Trumps assassination attempt in 2024. I mean covering all rooftops is like the very first thing you gonna do. Unless the SS didn’t cover that rooftop on purpose, cos the whole attempt was faked.

4·2 days agoI can tell you, your experiences can’t be generalized. The work environment can really differ from company to company, and also depends in which industry you are working. I am working in IT, and in my department my colleagues and I can talk to each other in a very casual, non-formal way.

7·2 days agoGermany has a rough working culture? Where do you get this from? In some unions full-time equates to only 35 hours a week, and we commonly have 30 days of vacation. And our working culture is nothing at all like in the US. We have very good employee protection rights and unlimited sick days. And currently I am working in the public sector, where I can choose to work only 4 days a week (with 80% of the pay, ofc). It is really great.

Europe@feddit.org•Europeans must recognize US, China and Russia are ‘dead against’ us, says MacronEnglish
5610·3 days agoWouldn’t say China is ‘dead against’ the EU. China just does stuff which benefits them the most, I wouldn’t say they have an inherent resentment towards the EU. And unlike the US, I believe China sees that the EU is a viable partner economically and that they would do themselves a disfavour if they were damaging those relations. Something the US doesn’t understand, they just continue to isolate themselves further and further and suffer the consequences.

Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The tax justice network estimates that there are about 21 to 32 trillion in tax havens globally
22·3 days agoI’ll never understand billionaires. They are so fckn obscenely rich, they can literally buy anything they want. And yet they do everything to squeeze yet another million out of the populace. A million that LITERALLY doesn’t change their lifestyle. A million to them is like how a cent is to us. Prolly even less. They literally are pure evil, otherwise I can’t explain why they try to make life harder for us normal folks although they already have everything.

World News@lemmy.world•UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008English
318·6 days agoLet’s see. Making tobacco illegal means the black market will florish. And then the government can’t regulate the quality. Kinda what we already have with Cannabis. A lot of countries legalize Cannabis so that buyers can be sure it is of proper quality and not mixed with dangerous substances. Yes, smoking is bad and that’s why it should be expensive in order to discourage people from smoking. And a lot of public spaces should be smoke-free as well so that non-smokers are affected by smokers as little as possible. Banning something completely can go fully in the opposite way, just look what the Prohibition back in the US did with regards to Alcohol.







Just come to germany, the government basically gives free money to everyone who comes here. Just claim that u seek asylum. Make sure to throw away your passport and other papers that can identify you. Then they can’t deport you. Stay long enough and you can get Bürgergeld, which means the government is paying your rent, healthcare and you get like 560 Euros per month or so.
