@Brett Tarpley Overtime is kind of weird here. I had a job, where overtime was not paid out and you could just take it of either. But it was strongly discouraged to accumulate overtime and if you did you would have a talk with managers to make a plan to get rid of the overtime. At my current job it's not paid either, but I can just take days off to get rid of my overtime.

If you work more or less than that, which means 6 days/week max as one rest day per week is mandatory, the amount of minimum vacation gets adjusted accordingly, as long as you stay within the 4 weeks / year. Most companies are doing 24 for a 5 day work week anyways and voluntarly agree to increase the vacation days by 2 every 2 years the employee stays in the company till 30 days max. But that is not required by law and it is mostly due to the fact that it's better to give you more vacation and keep you as an employee than looking for a new one, which is a pain in the back for both employer and employee.

To get 15 days of vacation per year I would have to stay with the company for 10 years. They do not offer more than that. One employee has been there for 20 years, and they would not give him another week of vacation when he asked for it. I think in the United States no vacation time is required but some jobs offer it. Before at my last job I never got vacation. I worked there for 5 years. Also, they did not pay you when you were off for holidays. At least at my current job we get paid holidays. I believe there is like 10 paid holidays a year. Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Years etc.

When you work 35 hours or less, you can put in full effort during those hours. But once you have to work more than 6-7 hours a day, you will have to spread and conserve your energy. If you give a 100% for 40-50 hours a week, you will eventually crash. Might happen in a month, it might take years, but it will happen.

German here: What's shown in video it's only half the story. Yes, Arbeitnehmerrechte (employees rights) are more favorable to workers in Germany than in many other countries. However, of course, you have to be productive and valuable to your employer to justify the costs you are producing. it is expected, for instance, that a skilled worker is flexible in his vacation planning. Employees in team leader roles and levels above normally work far more hours than the standard 35 without extra or overtime pay. Also, there's a tendency to hire people on short-term contracts for simple tasks paying only minimum wages and hardly any extra perks.

Every day I started with clocking in and taking a 20 min shit. After quitting for college they told me I was their most productive and competent worker among the other students.

For lunch you get extra money (5-10%). ● 25 days of paid vacation time, more if needed. ● absolutely no work on state holidays, of which there are like 15 in a year and are fully paid. Combined with the vacation time I technically have around 40 days of no work/year. ● If you're feeling sick you stay home - always.

In my case I'm a tutor for all freshmen students, all of them need to take programming classes at my uni and I help them to get through. When talking about the working contract, they told me: You have a 5 hours week. You have a certain amount of paid vacation days. If there is a public holiday in the time from Monday to Friday, you get paid for that without working, because it's not your fault if there is a public holiday. If you are sick, please send us the yellow paper (a document from your doctor that you are not able to work because of sickness or injury), then you also get paid without working. Please make sure that you have taken your vacation days. Please don't do any overtime or undertime as you get paid for 20 hours per month. I was like "guys, come down, are you serious? This is just a very tiny job helping at a university" 😂
