I have a Qs: If german government knows that their population is sinking and that they have more pensioners than earners and if they are ready to call expats then why do they not do anything to make expats life easier? Why do we expats get treated like shit when it comes to renting apartments? A german native with german name easily gets an apartment (irrespective of the salary) whereas an expat earning 100K with Schufa doesn’t get any apartment for rent? I know it is at owner’s discretion but can’t the govt offer rental apartments so that we don’t have to go through racist owners or scammers? Can’t they reduce the rent in major cities like Berlin, Munich? Can’t they have Schutz plan for expats or renters?

@@PreetiKarmakar Hey. They try something like that. Especially in leftist berlin. But to no big success. Its one of germanys house-owners compays worst-nightmare-stereotypes to end up with a loud, smoking expat family from turkey-ish, middle-east or africa, hosting 10 children where should have lived 3 max, leaving the flat pretty much inhabitable. It will be hard to get rid of those thinkings, because they have a few real examples as a real basis. If u get accepted inside a flat once, the law will give u many many rights, and it will be hard for them to get rid of u if u cause problems like, for example, filling the whole place with stinking garbage, or, on the other hand, if u loose ur permit and have to dip without paying rent. They just try to be careful with their property, overdoing it. Its the same with many kinds of germans. Its based on stereotypes, but against every possible risk against harm to the house owner, german or not. Its not the definition of racism, so dont think of it as racism. Annoying discrimination is more fitting. Expats and "risky" germans are in the same boat there. ^^

@Yup well in my personal case my partner and I were both fired bc the bosses 18 y/o daughter who watched our dog for a night decided to have a party in our apartment and our dog got fed chocolate from some complete stranger. Obviously our insurance said that she is responsible for it so she had to pay the vet bill (which her mom paid upfront at the vet). We found all this out after we came home and our dog was still throwing up. This has nothing to do with our professional work but the boss still fired us over it even though we had it camera and everything and said we “bullied her daughter”. I was still on Probezeit but my partner was working there for years. In order to avoid having to pay another month the boss showed up at 10pm on the 28th at our home catching us off guard to give us firing papers to get out of the firing lead time+extra month pay. We contacted the arbeits ampt and consulted with a lawyer and it would’ve taken atleast a year and costed way more then what we can afford before we’d get any money back and it wouldn’t have included any of the over time hours and without guarantee of getting anything at all.

I actually found it very difficult to get work in Germany and eventually gave up trying last summer after applying to roles in Berlin for the better part of a year. Maybe your audience is mostly European, but if you're from the US or you don't have an EU passport then you need a working visa which is hard to get a company to sponsor you for at a junior level position. I think this is because the company is obligated to show that a German couldn't be found for the job, and that's not worth doing for entry level people. I know employment was weird because of the pandemic so that was probably a factor too. I love your videos, I hope you're enjoying your travels!

Cool video! 1:15 My 2 cents here, many Germans are going for further Studies because the salaries you can earn in a Professional level can go much higher than those who pursued an Ausbildung. It is definitely good to have a balance among working force, but the living cost nowadays has gone so high that Ausbildung seems to be less popular.

@murti1565

Жыл бұрын

The Problem with Ausbildung is not really the lack of career opportunities but rather the lack of knowledge about them. For example, an acquaintance of mine recently finished his Ausbildung to become an Electrician. Most employees in his company get around 13-15€ an hour. That's bc they lack the knowledge about salary negotiations and the current employment market situation. My acquaintance on the other hand knows that getting capable employees in the construction sector is a very hard task and that 13€ an hour is disproportionate to the value his work adds to the company. So he negotiated with them and now he is getting 18€ an hour, a company car (for 1% of his salary), and a commitment that the company will pay for his Meisterausbildung after 2 years. And this is all as an employee fresh out of the apprenticeship. Should he then decide to work as an independent contractor or create his own company after his Meister, then he can easily get a 5-figure salary in no time. I think most people just aren't aware of these opportunities and or lack the commitment necessary to go for them.

I course, I would learn German after getting a job there. Also, I am interested in hierarchy in the workplace, especially compared to Scandinavian countries, Netherlands.

Aww he even said adiós, nice video!!

@ 5:59 The being on time thing is actually what I was told at my job here in Canada. "If you're on time, you're late. 15 minutes early is when your shift starts". So I think I'd be good in Germany, where I show up 30-45 mins early everyday.

jar: Canadian here, and when I still occupied a cubicle farm I showed up on time. For 40 years my starting time was 8 am, and that's when I was in my office. The demand to be 15 minutes early I would have ignored. A contract is a contract. I spent enough of my own time for business travel for which I was not compensated.

Living in France and comparing with Germany (talking about job at least) I think both systems are quite similar, just with a little difference, here in France we just work a maximum of 35 hours week, and time to time you are gonna have a call from your boss even though you are in your day off… another thing is , French people are not really at time, sometimes even 10 minutes late!!…. ( at least it is my personal experience) but the rest is quite the same…

L'atmosphère de travail en france est plus détendue qu'en allemagne ainsi que les allemands sont un peu réservées ce qui rend la communication un peu difficile parcontre les français sont plus vivants et communicatifs ce qui rend l'atmosphère plus agréable.

Drumline in Highschool instilled into me "ON TIME IS LATE, 15 MINUTES EARLY IS ON TIME"...this was under threat of doing pushups with our drums on our backs and running laps while carrying our drums on our chests. Lol

Great video! Thank you 😜

I guess getting the visa or permits is the difficult part of the process.

Well, the digital nomad "issue" is mainly because of taxation and legal problems and not because the company simply wants it. At least that's what my company told us about it. But it's definitely not a good idea to use a VPN pretending to be in Germany. That's fraud and a very good reason to get fired. I personally like the German working conditions very much. When working for my German company in Japan for half a year I even considered moving there but the difference in working conditions kept me in Germany. The hangover sick leave isn't a good idea though. If you do this frequently and don't hand in a Doctor's certificate, you could also get fired at some point of time.

Good information!

Could you share information about what it's like to live/work in Germany for individuals that have disabilities (physical, mental), and for individuals that are neurodivergent or have mental health conditions? Love the videos, by the way. Thanks for all of the info and good laughs! ❤

Hey! It has two sides: the plus is, laws support you fully. You are protected and supposed to get a bunch of help. Many big companies have even special social worker to help you integrate. A great plus is also that meds are cheap and therapy is free! The negative is, most of the legal benefits are hidden behind walls of paperwork that are simply unrealistic to do by yourself, you need to hire people for this and help you navigate the system. Yes, with even more paperwork you can even get free support to help you with your paperwork, but I found it quite a mess to see through it if you already have troubles sorting through your own brain. Waiting times for therapy are quite long and it's very, very, very difficult to find a good psychiatrist. Know your meds and take care of yourself. It's essential to pick the right job for your ND, since apart from the legal side (harder to get fired etc) they will still expect you to fit in. So choose something where the requirements meet your needs, there is little leeway for "misbehaving".

@@Gigiravioli64 oh one thing I forgot is something I found out pretty late and which has saved me a bunch of money - if your expenses for health (and that includes private therapy lessons and transportation costs to the doctor) go over a certain amount (percentage of your income), you can put them into your taxes ("Krankheitskosten") as expenses. So basically everything is just half price if you pay yourself :D which can save you a lot of bureaucracy

The funny thing is that a lot of Germans are still complaining. Being happy with something is just no typical German way. But one point should not be forgotten, either. There are a lot of employers who find their ways to work around the laws. Salary in some sectors is not too good, for example in care or logistics
