You can be efficient in doing useless things. And since "ideal" does not exist, looking for the place "better than others" is exactly what you go for.

No, this is just your evaluation. Beeing direct is extremly friendly, you are not wasting anybodies time. You can values this as positive, or miss the sugar coating and consider it negative. It's a matter of culture, what you are annoyed by. Also Envy can go into to directions, you can say "I want to have this too" or you can say "I don't like the other one to have it". Germans tend to tear others down to gain equality. All having nothing is easier to achieve than all having a lot. It's self destructive but that's the way it is. It's explaining things, not valueing things as positive. Germans like to explain. This is different from excusing. If you want to change anything, you need to explain why it is as it is.

@internetroyalty As Joseph said, if you want the freedom of carrying a gun, Germany is a bad place, if you want the security of others not carrying guns, it's a good place.

Actually, if you like your work and find yourself useful, your work ethic is OK. Ethic is nothing tought in school, it's more part of culture, tought by parents.

@hetedeleambacht6608 Best thing would be, you found your own company and be the management yourself. Very simple. Every craftsmen, baker or even physiotherapist ist acting this way. Second best thing, you search another company.

Right. Some compare women average to mens average to produce big numbers. Of course you have to compare payment for same job and the same time, which is much less difference, more dependending on requesting less payment when negotiating your salery. Very normal worldwide.

Cost for "human ressources" quitting their jobs, can be higher, than giving a few more days off. It's actually no difference to giving a promotion in salery.

Maybe there are cases. But this is not common. It's normal people don't take all their vacation, some in a sense of duty to their company, or just having fun working, others in saving their days to take 2months off next year. Meaning of vacation is to recover. That's why the employer insists in taking it, rather than paying you. They prevent you harm yourself.

Job days of 9 to 6 or 8 to 5 ? The east is getting up earlier more like 7-4. Most people like the silence in the morning, before the phone terror starting around 9. And that's not only for office jobs, also craftsman may have the first appointment at 6:30.

@val-schaeffer1117 you haven't heared my german, how can you dislike it. Not beeing conclusive is disliked in the land of thinkers. At least, consider multiple options or multiple views. There is no right and wrong in matter of culture.

School is very much like this. Never overtime and punctual.but this is worldwide. Nothing special to germany. And Feierabend is more the begin of spare time. Literally it means partynight.

@fbabarbe430 I don't notice people working long hourse/overtimes as a massive problem. In some special industries, with leak of workers, yes. Actually you underline the urge of wanting more skilled workers, instead of having the existing workers, work harder. They just realize the point of people need sleep and a rest and time for the family. In some branches it works even the reverse way: people say: we don't want more salery, we want more colleagues, to do the job. People don't urge for highest payment, if they have enough, they reduce hours to enjoy life. That's the message of the video.

The 40h/per week or 8h/day is becoming less common. And I don't know anybody starting past 8.

Right, Freedom and security are contrary points of a scale.
