@BavarianBarbarian I love Germany and all, but dude, you guys take SUCH LONG LUNCH BREAKS

Short work hours

Massive government mandated health and holiday stuff

EASY MODE

@cutchie I kinda agree. In Germany, especially the nationalist and right wing parts here, we grow up with the "Weltanschauung" of our grandfathers pounded into us. So you got a point with Double Boomer

Germany got really high productivity tho

yeah our government and corporations dont give us shit (thanks to mexicans)

@Metaphysical Monarchist Long lunchbreaks? It's 1 hour

thats barely enough for a Bratwurst and a Bier

we have 15 minutes

oh

haha

LONG LUNCH BREAKS. Compared to the US at least.

Hour is lucky, even in office jobs.

Here 1 hour is mandatory since 1892

At school get like 30 minutes

SAD

god if only we were that based

I know, seriously though Germany has a lot of laws protecting workers

School breaks are 15 minutes here

at 10:30 am and at 13:00

I think it's kind of dumb and unnecessary but I understand why people like it

Lunch is 30 break is 15

And we Germans make fun of SPaniards for their "Siesta" and how they make too long breaks

guess americans are the real ARBEITER then

Probably explains why so many american POWs had high positions in german POW camps work-wise

Thing is, Americans, when they're working, aren't necessarily high productivity. We do a lot for a long time but not the most efficiently.

American POWs were usually the Managers of workgroups, workgroups were usually canadians, australians and brits

Germans, even if they work shorter hours and have more vacations, probably do more per person every year on average.

True

Hard working buggers

Studies do show taking healthy breaks can make productivity higher

G*rmans

Cuckolds

Ooofffff

ACH
NEIN

Also drinking 1 Beer Bottle (0,5 liters = 16.9 fl oz) is allowed in Germany because culturally Beer is considered "a good lunch" and "fluid bread"

i bet in the US thats not allowed at work

Nope, you'd get fired or at least a warning at just about any workplace if they knew you'd drunk anything harder than orange juice lol

(Maybe some jobs, but most professional jobs nah)
