Germans always complain towards "I could imagine a better way of doing things", it's towards a fiction, and this can drive people to improve things. But this does not mean, you can improve things by moving, by "it's better in another country". Such a place is still hard to find, Switzerland or Norway is often named as competitors in quality of living. But in worldwide measure, Germany is still quiet on top of the list, gains by moving are rather small, more on the individual/special interest level. But some people forget, complaining doesn't mean "it's bad", it means "I can imagine better". Even in the best country in the world, Germans would find things to complain.

Once, when complaining lead to "I know how to do it better, and I do it", this lead to a lot of creativity and founding buisnesses. What has been introduced in the last 150 years into german culture, is risk-aversion. This really parallyses lot of people. Demand for security is too high.

@quarrelsound aber alles verdient auch, gelobt zu werden, wie gut es bereits ist. Denn sonst jammern alle über den Mangel an Anerkennung.

@luminouslink777 Yes, but for IT Consultants, or university professors, it's rather simplified. There is kind of "green card" program for such people. Still can take 2-3 months for paperwork, but for the first visit, you just come as a tourist.

@luminouslink777 now you complain the Immigration rules for pets ? Right, and you cannot bring your mother in law either.

@luminouslink777 In the skilled worker section, meaning engeneers/physicians, with income above 70K/year it's pretty easy. You rather talk about the "nurse" workforce, but there, the employer will help. For EU citizens, there are rather no limits at all.

@luminouslink777 it's not cynism, just sarkasm. Maybe bringing your cat might be easier than a human. You are very german, you always find a way to complain.
