When people call in sick and you can't run your business, you are understaffed.
This is an employer problem, not an employees problem.
Exactly!
Indeed.
An employeer just has to solve the problem. Start with setting priorities. What is essential and urgent and what can wait. If needed check if one if the employees is willing and able to wotk some extra hours (of course paid). This should be enough if someone is absent for a couple of days.
If it is a longer absence, maybe some of the parttime workers can work some extra hours. Maybe another department can pitch in.
And then ofcourse there is the possibility of hiring a temporary employee.
bonus point, we train peoples so there always someone to cook burgers
If you start pushing peple over the edge by not allowing them to cure any sickness properly, they will A: Not be at 100% during work, B: Use every opportunity not to work because they don't like you and because they really don't want to and C: They will get even more sick in the future up to the point that they can't work at all.
So, even if you are understaffed, people generally know this and you should take sick requests extra seriously because most workers are loyal to their mates. And if you identify as much as you want them to with the "family", you should be the first to fill the gaps...
if my boss would say "we are famaly" i would tell him to bring me chicken soup and nurse me to full health 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If my boss said to me We Are Family - I would say, fine, my grandma always told me to sleep it off. See you when I am healthy again.
I would say "Get up everybody and sing!"
sane answer.
"We are family"
Joke's on you, I was kicked out and disowned.
Man the confusion I felt the day an American asked me how many sick days I have.
infiinityyyyyyyyy
Many Americans wouldn't even understand why you are puzzled.
Haley has been living in Germany for roughly 7 years now and I find it absolutely normal that some German words come already faster to her mind than the English ones: "Paprika" would be "bell pepper," while a "Bank" would be a (wooden) "bench" like the ones you typically find in locker rooms - both the in the US and Germany. Also, it's lovely to hear her cute mishmash of English and German. She's a nice person with a good heart and a sane mind.
it's a cute mischmasch of english und bayrrrrisch :-)
"kleingeld" ^^
basic Denglish vocabulary 😁
Yes. I thought she meant bell pepper.
Bruh, but he didn't even know what Paprika(the spice) is made of.
5:35 being sick at work in Germany. Once a colleague came to work and had glassy eyes, sweat on his forehead and looked very pale. My boss went up to her and asked her if she was sick. She said she wasn't feeling well, but she had taken anti fever medication and that would be fine. My boss urged her to go to the doctor immediately, get a sick note and not to come back until she was fully recovered.
In Germany you don't have counted sick days, if you are sick you get a sick note from your doc and you stay home which is paid leave up to 6 weeks and if you need more time your health insurance covers you for 70% income before tax or 90% income after tax, whichever is less, for up to additional 72 weeks (1.5 years in total!). Usually you get a couple of days up to a max of 2 weeks sick note at a time and you have to go to the doctor again if you need another sick note extending your convalescence.
If you come to work sick, you risk infecting everyone else and disrupting the entire company.
Yep, in most companies I worked at back in Germany, the supervisor would kick your ass if you came in sick and as such trying to get the whole department sick as well...
In the long run, it's cheaper for a company to have one person out sick for some time than to have X people working at 20% to maybe 50% efficiency because the one sick person which is still working infected all the others working there, too, and as such all of them are trying to work, even though they are sick. Something which most US companies don't seem to realize...
I like this system. I think here in Canada I have 6-10 sick days. (And I've just used up 5 of them!)
Additionally you are protected by law from being fired while being sick, when I remember correctly.
Also, once you have a sick-note from the doctor you are not allowed to work because the "Berufsgenossenschaft" (the universal insurance for all working employees) will not cover for any accidents if you still go to work.
@@dapperOctopus Not completly, if you have more than 30 sick days per year you can actually get fired because you are unreasonable for the company "unzumutbar für die Firma).
The reason why a lot of things are so "cheap" at the doctor's office in Germany is because you pay monthly into the health insurance companies. We are required by law to be insured. That means everyone pays in regularly, but not everyone is sick regularly. But if you get sick, the health system supports you.
German here. The 30 bucks she had to pay was the co-payment for the stay in the hospital. The co-payment for staying in a hospital in Germany is 10 € a day with an overall maximum of 280 €. It doesn't matter whether it is in a normal hospital (physical injury or sickness) or in a mental facility (for example depressions),
It is supposed to be the amount you might have spent at home on yourself if you were home. Of course that is not true for Hartz IV receiving persons, but those do not have to pay them, I think.
ah we fucked up bigger then a few hospital costs czcams.com/video/LseK5gp66u8/video.html @ryan because krupp needs steal for the tanks
Yeah, all the medical equipment, drugs and expenses are free, they can be bought with rainbows. Entitles, first world whining.
@@gregthomson2299 Greg - if you do not understand a public, inclusive health insurance, wouldn't it be best to keep your opinion to yourself - instead of showing everybody you are a little less blessed in the IQ department?
@@franhunne8929 People who get ALG II have to pay, too. Their maximum is just a bit lower (max 100€ / year).
Chronically ill (i.e. being treated for the same ailment for more than 6 months) people only pay half.
I spent my senior year of high school in th US and I remember being hungry very often (my host mom basically didn't cook) but I still gained about 6kg (about 13-14 pounds). All my other foreign exchange friends from Europe (a Ukrainian, Danish, German girl) also gained weight, even more than I did (up to 20 pounds). The funny thing is we stayed in touch after going home and we all lost the weight just by going back to eating our "normal" food. I am Croatian and we also say paprika 🙃
A lot of Americans move to Europe and find out they weren't actually gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant, or have IBS. Our food was the problem.
yeah, I gained 20 lbs in half a year, my partner 40 lbs in a year as exchange students in the 2000s. We came home, just lived our normal lives and just got to our normal weight without even doing anything about it.
jup, gained close to 40 pounds in my exchange year. It was a mixture of food (actual weight) and exercise (swim team, 4-5 days a week swimming). So it was fat and muscle weight. Lost both when I went back home :P
Yup, our food here sucks.
A classmate of mine spent a year abroad in the US. She was the fittest girl in our class, doing rhythmic gymnastics, even had a noticable six pack. When she returned my first thought was: "Wow, she looks...chubby".
She said it was the food, combined with limited offers to do sports. In Germany it's completely normal for even small villages to have some sort of (very affordable) club that offers multiple different kinds of sport.
It took her like 3 months at most to lose the weight once she was back.
German here✌. A few years ago, my employer asked the employees: “We are financially weak. We have to save money. Do you all want to work 5 hours less a month, or should we lay off 2,000 people?” So everyone could keep their job and enjoy a little more free time with a little less money. Meanwhile, I can decide once a year whether I want to work 32, 35 or 39 hours a week.
Sweet. Actually great solution. You can manage with less money when you get used to it and the extra time is priceless...

Hayley uses a lot of German words in English sentences, better known as Denglish. It happens to almost anyone who lives in another country with a different language. You start incorporating the local language's words into your native language in a mish-mash.
Paprika = bell pepper.
Bank = bench (in this context, but in other contexts it actually means the money institute of a bank)
Now just a very, very recent story about having an ambulance bring you to the next bigger hospital with specialists. Yesterday at 1.15 AM my buddy called me. He was in Wacken at the Heavy Metal W.O.A. festival. He had gotten a corpse mask make-up body paint done. Sadly he didn't consider that it was frickin hot (over 33°C / 90°F) in the shade, but he was in the sunny festival area, with definitely well over 45°C / 110°F in the very late afternoon. So he was sweating like crazy and the make-up body paint started running into his eyes. It contains some serious gritty substances, so his eyes began to tear up, and really started to hurt. His vision got blurry, and he was in real pain.
He first was brought to the Red Cross tent on the festival grounds where he was checked up and treated in a preliminary manner. The doctors there decided that they didn't have the sufficient treatment measures available there to guarantee full recovery.
So they got him an ambulance ride from Wacken to the UKE (University Clinic Eppendorf) in Hamburg, one of the best clinics in Germany, and among the top 20 world wide. The town of Wacken is roughly 110 km / 75 miles from Hamburg, which is the next large city in the vicinity. It took over an hour with emergency lights flashing, which meant that they could break speed limits and blast through red lights because his pain was excruciating. So this was no local ambulance transport, but a fairly long transport.
He immediately got to see a specialist at 10 PM who cleaned out his eyes, checked over all parts of his eyes, applied a pain-killing medication as well as a regenerative cream. Fortunately he could assure my buddy that he'd fully recover his eye-sight within one or two days, and the pain would be gone in two to three days.
Both the ambulance ride and the treatment in the ER by a specialist cost ´him exactly zero Euros.
My buddy asked me to guide him to a hotel (he didn't want to stay in the hospital, despite it costing only 10€ per night for his consumed food), as he was unable to see anything clearly.
Did my buddy at ANY time consider NOT going to the Red Cross tent, or take an ambulance, or go to the ER?
Nope, because he KNEW, with 100% certainty, this was a medical emergency and he was 100% covered. It didn't even cross his mind NOT to seek medical help due to cost.
And that's how it should be.
it's funny that Hayley already uses german words when she speaks english. So Paprika = Bell Pepper and Bank = Bench
she's in germany for several years and speaks bavarian denglish every day :-)
We say Paprika in Sweden too.. :)
Paprika = Bell Pepper
Tomat = tomato
Potatis = potato
Gurka = cucumber
Then what do you call paprika? In Australia
Bell pepper = capsicum
Paprika= a seasoning made from various capsicums.
@@solreaver83 It is still Paprika, but either another specification is added, such as Rosenscharf, or as Mild. Rosenscharf = rose spicy, and mild = mild, duuh.
In which case you know it is the powdered stuff. Recipes also often specify as 'ganze Paprika' = 'a whole Paprika/bell pepper', or "würzen mit wenig, viel Paprika" indicating the spice, with either a little bit, or lots. Obviously this could also be sprinkles, pinches, or some other random amount declaration.
@@RustyDust101 Interesting, didn't know that about paprika. For is its green or red capsicum for the whole vegetable. The powder is paprika with mild or hot, smoked etc.
In Germany when you call for an ambulance everybody will tell you, that is the right thing to do. Even if you don't know that it is an emergency or really nescessary. You only will be paying for wrongfully calling an ambulance, if you know that it is no emergency and you are lying about your status.
In Germany, a distinction is also made between ambulances (RTW - which are equipped for life-threatening situations), emergency ambulances (NAW - smaller vehicles with which the emergency doctor on duty is brought to the incident) and ambulances (KTW - similar to the RTW, but with less medical equipment board and often involved in appointments, where the arrival can then be longer, also because the blue lights and sirens are not always used there).
Depending on how the rescue coordination center assesses the reported accident/emergency, it sends out either RTW + NAW, RTW alone or KTW.
This also has to do with costs on the one hand, but also with the effectiveness of the resources on the other.
But what is undisputed: False alarms are charged very, very high.
This is also intended to discourage pranksters from making an emergency call for fun to drive away boredom. Such interventions, when the culprit is found (which is often the case), can cost well into the thousands of euros.
@@Gnin1000 Correct. But NAW is now called NEF. Some regions also have another step in between KTW and Taxi for people that need to get somewhere but need mobility assistance (carrying chair, strechter, carrying tarp, etc.)/ someone to coordinate the doc visit(pt with dementia e.g.). They need medical care but not on the way there basically. So the KTW isnt doing random doctors appointments, home transfers, rehab/hospice transfers or Dialysis/ Chemo drives unless the Patient has MRSA, Covid etc. or needs oxygen constantly and the pressure is distributed a bit more.
@@Serenity_yt I know the names I mentioned from my police career.
Of course there are other names too.
NAW (Notarztwagen) = NEF (Noteinsatzfahrzeug),
RTW (Rettungstransportwagen) = KTW (Krankentransportwagen - which drives without resources of signals and sirenes and adapts to general traffic).
In the event of accidents, my police control center always asked explicitly: RTW "with music and light show" or KTW without "music".
I didn't mean the ambulance services that someone can request for relatives in need of care, for example to transport them from the nursing home to an event and back again.
But the designations themselves are probably different from state to state or between the police, fire brigade and rescue service.
@@Gnin1000At the moment I work in the step in between we also get our fair share of emergency room drives mostly from frequent Flyers or people (care homes) that don't want to wait 5 hours on a KTW. But those (mostly) don't have any police involvment. The real accidents or more serious stuff we're obviously not called to except as first aid if we see an accident on the road. But I guess in my region you rarely send a KTW out to an accident mostly RTWs with/without NEF. Our KTW really do drive mostly transfers.
@@Gnin1000 I've never heard the acronyn NAW - We call them NEF where I live, Notarzteinsatzfahrzeug. I've ridden on them and they are not for patient transport, only bringing the NA to the scene behind the RTW. This is a crucial difference from America where there is no such thing as an emergency doctor who chases ambulances around. I had no idea about false alarms but I do know that we responded with an RTW to someone who simply sprained his ankle (and could have taken a bus/car) and to a kid with a broken arm (who also could have ridden a bus/car). Since ambulances are free, everyone calls them....... 'Cept for Hayley : ) And since I'm privately insured, I won't be calling an RTW either, cuz I have to pay. Just not what Americans pay.
Here in Finland joining a union is the norm. 99% of the people I know are members of different unions, including myself. No company would ever forbid employees this.
Tell us more about your low populated frozen country finally joining NATO like a normal place.
Let's be clear, it's not because companies are more charitable outside the US. It's because the Finns banded together and help each other.
In Germany you'll basically get unlimited sick-days. When you're sick, you call your boss to tell them that you're sick and can't work (you don't even have to tell them what specific sickness it is, that you've got), go see a doctor and send in your little paper, that proves, that you're sick. Then you're off and try to get better, for as long as your doctor tells you to do (or until you feel better and go back to work on your own).
Normal sick days are fully payed by your employer, up to 6 weeks of sickness in a row with one and the same condition that you have. Then you'll only get 60% of your salary, paid by the insurance company, instead of beingpaid by your employer. If you get sick with something different, than this whole thing gets reset to 0. Of course, employers will have an eye out for people, that get sick too often. There still is motivation to not exploid this beyound reason.
Paprika is the German word for bell peppers. They're called paprika in many langauges, English is an oddball here lol
We (Kiwis, Ausies & UK) also call them 'capsicums', the spicy hot ones are known as chillies. All part of the Solanaceae or night shade family that includes potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, egg plant and tobacco.
The same's for Ananas. Many, many languages call it ananas, but pinapple?

Maybe someone should explain that GoFundMe is a VERY socialist idea!?
It's actually tragic, but also super funny. 🙃
Many people pay a small portion so that someone can get the help they need. Exactly THAT is the idea behind Healthcare in Germany, for example. Everyone pays their share and can use it when needed.
A while ago, one American tried to convince me, why Americans need free health care if there is GoFundMe .
Its also called insurrance or love your next one. Christianity is socialism. Americans must hate christians.
Well, ideally the people making more will be paying more. This problem hasnt been solved yet here in germany. People who make more money get a privat insurance, so they dont put their money into the same pool.
@@wirdjadochnichts Yeah but they also dont take from the same pool.
I agree that its not exactly necessary or a good thing but it would only be a problem if they would participate from both pools. But they dont.
Wenn du ne Private Zusatzversicherung (beispiel Zähne) abschließt ist das auch ein seperater Geldpool aus dem deine Kosten erstattet werden.
Selbes Prinzip gilt auch für die Private KK.
@@wirdjadochnichts The problem is the private economy.
Why are do many health care providers privately owned?
Why is the CEO of Techniker Krankenkasse receiving over 350,000 Euro every single year?
We could all be living better if we just stopped paying people for simply owning stuff
cost medicine. My father was hospitalized with COVID. He was told there was a new drug that would help, but it would cost 30,000 euros. My father asked who would pay for it. The answer from the health insurance company was that he only had to sign that he would follow the treatment plan and that the data could be evaluated for the study.
The costs of the hospital are also covered by the health insurance, he only pays 10 euros per day.
10€ per day, but capped to 28 total days per year. for more or longer stays it is ZERO.
Very personal story from me: I am 33y old female and was diagnosed with a really rare form of cancer last year (after almost a year of trying to find out what was wrong with me). I am on long-term sick leave since last November since my surgery. Me and my family were never wealthy - I would put us firmly in the lower middle class range - but our health insurance company (and German government) has just been amazing during all of it. It's true that you pay more taxes with your paycheck in Germany that go into a universal health care fund, but that also means I have no additional expenses at all now, because my costs for treatment far exceed that fixed amount (which is linked to my income), and the government takes care of the rest of it.
I think everyone will need medical treatment in his life someday. Blessed be those who will never need it, but life is long, and even if I didn't need it now, I would not begrudge it to the next person who needs it because I paid into the system. Healthcare in Germany is not that expensive at all. That is also a myth. I recommend "Why America sucks at everything" while we are on this. An amazing, visually appealing and well researched video which also touches on this, among some other topics.
Hey i feel you, hope you get well again. My wife is very sick too and needs taken care of. (Pflegefall) Without our good system she would probably die. And tbh when people lives matter less than money, then the system doesnt work !
@@mJrA83 Thanks so much for your well wishes. I wish your wife all the best as well! ❤️ My father is also a Pflegefall (fell down the stairs) Walked into the hospital, came out paralized. So we are already accustomed to some bad bad luck, but it never gets easier. Imagine dieing for something (like in America) that you literally had no control over. Da nehme ich doch lieber unser Gesundheitssystem.
Best of luck. Hope it´s getting better. Must be scary living in a country where you "can´t" get sick. :(.
@@caroline4323 as I understood her she is living in Germany so not in America. Same goes for me so I don't understand you comment
@@mJrA83 I don't know the meaning but i understood it as a new paragraph: It would be scary if one wouldn't live in a country who cares about their citizens.
Not meant at the OP but rather a generic comment as finisher to a comment to the OP.
At least that's what i understood.
the German word "bank" means bench. So Hayley was lying on a bench. But she sometimes mixes up German and English words 😁
she speaks bavarian denglish :-)
7:00 The rule in Germany is: If you are sick, you are sick. If you go to work while you're sick, you'll be sent home in most cases - especially if you have some kind of infection, so you don't pass on your sickness to your colleagues. If you're sick, you call / e-mail your team leader or your boss, so he knows you didn't got lost on the way. If you are sick for more than 3 days in a row, you need a doctor's note (an AU = Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung = certificate of incapacity for work) - except the company included in your contract a shorter respite. Sick days are paid up to 6 weeks in a row.
Same goes fir school NORMALLY some parrents(like mkne) still send thier kinds in if they don't puke
The difference in calling an ambulance between the states and Germany is staggering. In Germany during my time in school it happened a bunch of times that a helicopter ambulance would land on the sports ground to pick up some kid that broke his leg or something similar. And in Germany most of the time there is even a Notarzt (I guess emergency doctor is the right word) that arrives before the ambulance to treat you . I've never heard of doctors on scene in the US.
same here in spain, with the ambulance/helicopter ( when you call them they ask what the situation is so they prepare themself) there's a doctor , a nurse and 1 ambulance tecnician so they can treat you in the spot before leaving to the hospital and it costs 0€
Now that you mention it, it is always just EMTs who are first responders.
Huh...
Helicopter for a kid with a broken leg? That sounds a little bit too much, unless the kid is into a ditch and cannot be retrieved by hand.
I think here in Italy helicopters are only used for complicated rescues and to transfer critical patients from the local hospital to a bigger and more advanced one.
Often not even organs are carried by helicopters, we have cops with Lamborghinis for that.
I believe the Rnglish term for "Notarzt" is "paramedics" or just an ambulance?
7:22 funny fact:
Several years ago, I think it was in the 90s, Walmart tried to establish itself on the German market. They didn't make it, after a few years they disappeared from Germany.
Hi, I'm from Eastern Europe. The sick days at your place confuse me a lot, because the logic is - if you are sick, you should stay at home and get treatment, because if you go to work sick, you can make your colleagues or clients (if you work with them) sick. But it is very important for colleagues, because if everyone gets sick - who will work? Doesn't it make sense for employers to have one absent employee instead of an entire office of sick people who aren't productive in any way? Wouldn't business suffer more in such a situation?
My lowest paid job was probably the job that exploited me the most as an employee and I had no idea how to handle the situation 😅 So funny that you talked about Walmart and unions because when I worked at a particular fast food restaurant they did the same thing for us as well. Regarding the paid time off donation- I believe it is actually legal in all states but some states have particular rules/regulations (so you can only receive 1000ish hours donated or only receive hours from employees at the same level etc)... and if you are a higher ranking employee your hours are worth more than a lower ranking employee. This happens at my mothers job quite often- she works in the medical field and donates some of her time and since she is a higher ranking employee- it is worth more.
and thank you for reacting!!
No reactions?
Hayley I love that you are actually watching, encouraging and embracing these reactions. I''ve seen a few of your comments under these videos now and I just love that you take the time to appreciate the videos and elaborate on the topics discussed within them. It's in no way a given and speaks volumes to your character. Keep going strong and being that awesome.
@@HenryvanElch The reaction channels help me out more than they will ever know and I am forever grateful for them taking time out of their day to react to my videos and giving me a slot on their CZcams channels :) Plus... an extra view and thumbs up never hurt anyone :p
So wholesome. I love it
Regarding the being sick issue: normally, (in the German efficient way) you would always have at least two or more people who can perform the same jobs or take over when one is sick or on vacation. But yeah that's the ideal, not always the norm for every company. There are quite a few companies in Germany who don't believe in that system either. 😉
And it is the Employers Job to plan for this and be prepared for sick-leave, vacation, holidays, etc.. That's what he's getting paid for! (As CEO)
It's called "succession planning" and smart businesses ensure that people are cross trained. If someone is a "lynch pin" employee, doesn't take much imagination to figure out what will happen if said employee doesn't make it in to work, quits or gets something worse happen to them.
In English, there is a term called bus/truck factor that describes how many people a company can ‘loose’ before some critical task cannot be performed anymore. It’s based on the phrase, what if person xyz gets hit by a bus/truck tomorrow. You’d never want any critical task with a ‘truck factor’ of one.
In the worst case the work came to a standstill or is delayed... but that is a problem of the exployer... it's a part of the entrepreneurial risk
German here. If you're sick you stay home. The company, even mcdonalds, will sent you home.
and it makes sence, a sick worker could get other workers sick until noone is able to come and do any kind of job, even if they show up to work.
if you run a buisness that relies on only 1 person, well, you're screwed
Funny thing is: I think she paid that 40-50€ surgery bill because she was in the hospital for 4-5 days. In Germany your health expenses for hospitals cap at 10€ per day. ;)
Richtig. Und das hat noch nicht mal was mit der Behandlung selbst zu tun. Das ist lediglich eine Art Zimmermiete
I think it's usually said that the 10€ co-payment per day in hospital is for the food that the patient gets.
Do you know why I know that Germany has messed me up? I - a German - have been sitting here for hours on a Saturday morning watching videos of people saying positive things about Germany, just to enjoy someone having a little bit of confidence in my country. In my personal opinion, we Germans have a massive guilt complex and great fear of our own confidence and trust in our country. What I mean to say is that every country and every culture has its faults and the grass is always greener on the other side. I admire, for example, that many Americans are so enthusiastic about the smallest things. Every time I see a video of Americans reacting to anything, I can't help but smile because they just show so much childlike excitement about the simplest things. It's like they are living hyperboles (meant in a positive way)! It must be very nice to be able to see the world like that.
Pois non debiades de sentivos así cando sodes o país máis importante da Unión Europea. O resto de europeos miramos para Alemania para saber qué vai pasar.
In a German hospital the night in the hospital room costs 10 euro. Usually the only thing u have to pay. So her having to pay 40 Euro means she stayed 4 days.
It's so weird to know people over there have a set mount of sick days. In Germany we only have a set amount of vacation days and you are supposed to take them! (There's a law that regulates it). And one vacation is supposed to be at least 2 weeks. Also, if you get sick during your vacation, you should call in sick because then it won't count as a vacation day.
"Ayo im ill"
Employer: *FCK*
5:35 You usually do not get any weird looks when you staying home sick. In many cases even your boss will tell you to go home, before you start infecting others. This is really deeply embedded in german work culture: If you're sick, you're sick and should stay home. And it's _paid_ sick leave of course (and won't be subtracted from your _paid_ vacation days!)
when really sick during vacation, those days are converted from paid vacation days to paid sick days, so that you get as many additional vacation days. because vacation should give you an opportunity to rest, and being sick is no rest.
🤣Bank is bench and paprika is bell pepper Hayley is germanized 🤗🖤❤💛 Yes it has effects to live abroad and talk in foreign tongues.
The combination is insane, lower food quality, 2 much working stress, guns 4 mental ill people and such a "Health don´t care" system.
Ah, I forgot the greedy big pharma as topping ... And this in the damn richest country in the world.
That blows my German mind!
PS: I heard even given birth, can bring you in debt, can´t it ? That is truly shocking for me. So sad at all.
Obviously by exploiting 98% of the population that borders on modern slavery. Is this good thing? I would argue it is not. Having 98% of your population suffer for the 2% rest is highly detrimental to the sum of economic benefit for the US.
This reminded me of the one time my mom overslept and then her boss called and asks why she didn't come. She was about to get ready for work but the boss said it's ok and that she can stay home.
If an employee gets sick in Germany you'll be asked to stay at home so the rest doesn't get ill, too. There is always an other employee who knows what your tasks are and can cover. We then decide what really is important and prioritize the tasks.
employee - you mean the person that is employed, not the one who is employing - which is the employer .. common mistake to make.
@@franhunne8929 thanks.
@@vickypedia223 You were welcome.
Guns are allowed in germany, shooting clubs are a big cultural thing here, theres even a desert eagle club near frankfurt and hunting is a big thing in germany too, sometimes during the hunting season you can hear a lot of shots in the forest. what you cant have are automatic weapons and for the normal weapons you have very strict regulations on who can own them, how to store them and all that. The biggest difference between the us and germany is, that if something happens we change the laws to prevent it from happening again if possible.

Culture means people getting together, having things like festivals, traditional costumes, art etc. and also an etiquette / rules - a list of do's and don'ts. The so-called "gun culture" of the USA doesn't do that - there's no such thing as a "traditional garb", the festivals are just sales shows, it rejects all kinds of rules and instead of bringing people together, the main purpose of US "gun culture" is to ensure that people are always ready to kill Americans.
A more appropriate description would be "orgy with guns" or "alcoholism with guns".
No, the big difference is that in Germany nobody, not even criminals, considers it to be normal in any way to use a gun in a crime unless you're e.g. robbing a bank. And even those bank robbers will think twice about actually firing them and thrice about shooting at people. In the US, shooting at a police officer who stops your car for going 5 over the speed limit is "just something criminals do".
Uhm...you can't really say guns are allowed when you look at the regulations you have to meet to be allowed to own a certain type of a gun.
You can't when you commited a crime, you can't until you are 25 unless you do a psychological test, you can't if you can't lock it away safely, you can't without proving you know how to use it, you can't unless you prove you need it. Additionally you aren't allowed to carry a gun everywhere you want even in the case you are allowed to own one.
Paprika = Bell Pepper
My employer doesn't want me at work when I'm sick. Especially during cold/flu/covid season. They don't want me to spread the disease all around my coworkers. That said: If you call in sick too often you might have a little chat with your boss. So, don't overdo it!
Funny story from me again: when I was still in my apprenticeship and cut off a fair chunk of my thumb with a cutter knife my company actually adviced me to call an ambulance the next time (we didn't because I could still walk, and two of my coworkers who admistered first aid drove me to the hospital) because then the insurance company wouldn't have any loophole to question whether it REALLY was a work accident. Funny thing that. xD
If you are sick, a coworker just temporarily replaces you or your work just doesn’t get done. It’s like.. we have a bit of work capacity in spare. This also means, in general work is way more relaxed and it is common sense that a healthy and “happy” work environment helps in motivating the workers which makes them more efficient naturally
the whole concept of having a limited number of sick days is just "sick" (as in bad). In Germany, there is pretty much no limit - unless you are talking chronic sickness for months.
but it's still covered somehow ... first by the employer, after some time by the insurance, and finally there is other support by the government. it's still not always optimal, but falling sick for even a longer time doesn't immediately automatically mean to lose job, and thus also health insurance, and also everything you own.
@@Anson_AKB of course it is covered. The main difference is, that there is not a fixed amount of days per year, that you are "allowed" to be sick.
My current employer offers unlimited sick time (super rare here) but at most of my previous jobs I got between 7-10 sick days per year. I once got fired because I refused to come to work while vomiting.
@@DehydratedHumor yeah... IMHO that is just sick (pun kinda intended ;) )
In the Netherlands you can be sick for 2 years without any serious consequences. After that a company is allowed to lay you off, but you still get 70% of your salary after that.
German here. At my last job, my superior explicitly told the whole team: "If you feel unwell, it's better to take one day off even if you are not super sick. Better take care of yourself early and miss a day or two instead of being out fot the count for a week or two." They actively had us stay home a day (especially when your "sickness" looked more like actual fatigue or unhealthy levels of stress. We were never really understaffed, got our work done, and people had less than 10 sick days per year on average. Seems like their strategy worked. And if you *really* could not be arsed to go to work on a monday or friday, it was an easy long weekend with no questions asked. I should mention, I did (and do) work in software, I bet it is very different in retail.
A comment I read some weeks ago said:
Employees: oh, Boss, that's a really nice Ferrari you got there!
Employer: yeah, guys! And if you work hard the next year too, I'll be able to buy another one!
I think that's the point!
Thank you, unknown commenter!
England here! I suffer from epilepsy and went through a very bad period. It got to the state where I, and my wife, knew the ambulance crew’s by their first name! Never had to pay for it though.
In the UK when you're sick, you're sick. We'd much rather you don't spread your germs to the rest of the workforce.
Don't think the US has a monopoly on the work family. The difference is we support our family when they're ill. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🖖💜
Same in Australia, plus its better for long term productivity if people are generally healthier and happier in the workplace. Americans are very short sighted in their approach to alot of these issue, they only care about the immediate cost and profit. But "chucking a sickie" in Australia is a national sport, we have beaches and waves that need surfing.
8:21 WTF! Any heart related illness has to be taken serious, 4.000 Dollars for a checkup is (put in the most fucked up word you know).
I don`t know what the flights costs at the moment , but maybe consider a little medical tourism.
A quick googlesearch list the cost in germany for an echocardiogram ( including contrast fluid) at max. 135Euros.
Add the flight and hotel costs and you are probably below 4000 US Dollars. But in your case , look up what canada charges.
Yes, hell yeah. There are even several other countries in closer proximity to the USA where the costs would be significantly lower for both testing as well as treatment, INCLUDING a two-way flight. Cuba, Mexico, etc. Don't believe the propaganda that healthcare there is worse than in the USA.
BB Guns are allowed in Germany.
It depends on the energy they create if they are "free" or you need a license.
But you can't take it with you.
The weapon law also handles "Anscheinswaffen", items that look like real weapons.
You are not allowed to have it in public without permission.
For filming a movie, custom like historical shooting clubs and so on you need a permission to to this.
Airsoft and some toy guns falls also in this category. So no airsoft in public woods or parks, only on private property.
You are not allowed to give the impression of having a real gun, penalty can go up to 10,000 EUR.
But you can buy you a bow or a crossbow. Its not allowed to wear it in public but when you want to do bad thinks it doesn’t stop you.
You can buy you a „little gun license“ with that you can buy blank guns and you can wear it in public. You can have a normal gun license when you go to a rifle club or you are a hunter. But you don’t can carry the weapon and the bullet together or ready to shoot in public. It must locked separate.
Some knifes are illegal to. For example the blade must be open with two hands „one hand knifes“ (switchblade, butterfly) are illegal. The blade must be smaller than 12 cm.
@@chatterm17
"You can buy you a „little gun license“ with that you can buy blank guns and you can wear it in public."
No. that is not correct.
For buying a blank gun, a BB gun or a gas pistol you don't need a license. You need to be over 18. You can buy and own them and you can transport them in a box in public.
But you are not allowed to carry them.
When you want to carry a blank gun or gas pistol in public you need the "Kleine Waffenschein" (little gun license).
If you want to own a real gun, you need a Waffenbesitzkarte (gun owning license).
If you want to carry a real gun in public, you need the "Große Waffenschein" (big gun license).
The three licenses are seperate from each other.
I had cancer, the next day when i got that message i got surgery, 1 week stay in hospital with CTs, MRT and more. I payed for all: 100€. Glad no cancer since 3 years now. In the US i would have to pay like thousands of dollars.
On the other hand, the Breaking Bad plot would be pretty boring in Germany... 😂
We don’t have a set amount of sick days like the US. You do have to get a note from the doctors at a certain time and depending on the company there are rules about long term illness. But generally you are even encouraged to stay home when sick. Even when it’s just the flue because your colleagues aren’t suppose to get sick too.
Here you get 2 years full pay when you are sick though.
I the usa it is usually completely unpayed.
I got a bill for an ambulance here in Germany.
There was a fire in the house were I lived, the fire brigade came and also the ambulance.
They checked for possible fume poisoning.
A few weeks later I got a bill about 120 EUR. But I didn't had to pay.
It turned out that they took wrong information on my insurance and they asked the wrong health insurance to cover the bill.
I was not insured there so they said no of course. After giving the right data, my insurance paid and I had to pay nothing.
"my insurance paid and I had to pay nothing." You paid for the insurance!
@@jamonit7169
Yes, of course. The point of an insurance is paying and hoping that you don't need it.
You have a life insurance? ^^
The problem with healthcare so expensive for people, they will wait with going to the doctor until it is almost too late. If they would have gone to the doctor earlier it might have prevented a big issue and with that more cost. I sometimes watch Pimple Popper on TLC with fascination, how people can walk around with lumps the size of a lemon on their neck, back or wherever? And for years. We would have gone to the doctor immediately.
This is so true. She made a previous vido about this topic, which is much more interesting, when she is speaking about the "Lies that USA told me about Germany" especially the pledge of allegiance. You should definitelly watch this, too.
I´m sick with depressions for almost 8 months and my employer is legaly forbidden to fire me. Although I told them I won´t come back. I´m staying employed as long as a doctor calls me sick. As long until I get better.
Love your reactions. Perhaps you would enjoy "Georgraphy now Germany" 🤩
Talking of accidents or other emergencies. In Germany, and i'm pretty sure in all European contries, everybody is obliged to help, and this includes calling the emergency call 112. In Germany its actually a crime if you don't help and you could. (You need not do it all yourself, but at least inform the Rescue Service, i.e. Police, Firebrigade, Red Cross etc) And of course: there is NO COST to bear for anybody, it is covered by the Health System. Nobody will sue anyone for asking for help.
yes, it's a punished crime here in spain too, "help omission crime " not to call 112. my granny was run over and the taxi who denied to help because didn't want blood stains on his taxi, had to go to court and was heavily fined. lots of pedestrians helping her reported him to the police
In Switzerland, not helping is only a crime if you hurt the person in the first place. There is no general obligation to help, only a moral one.
Once upon a time in the distant dark past I also found myself dragging my sorry carcass into work as the bosses demanded, thereby spreading whatever bug I had to everyone who came near. Now with the job in Europe if I get sick they don't even want to see me until I'm well. Where would you prefer to live???????
Haley is always great, even when she does just "harmless" un videos, especially with her boyfriend together, their "denglish" speak is always soo cute. But i also like when she is going a bit political and is upset about the US, what happened quite a lot because of some reasons.
When she said bank, she meant bench. She mistake the words because in German bench is called bank, a place where you can sit down. The financial institute is called bank, too. For example the Deutsche Bank. In Germany you can sit down on a 'bank' in a 'Bank' 🤣.
a (financial) bank is where the money is sitting :-)
15:02 I can still hear the scream echoing through my appartment. Coming together , everbody pitch in , so like social health care just way more sad and not guaranteed? For the love of every entity you choose to belive in that is the point. Social health care benefits nearly everybody, the only total looser in that equation would be insurance and pharmacy companys.
I just had 2 weeks sick leave due to a very bad case of bronchitis. Nobody called me daily saying you should come back to work. When the doctor cleared me and gave me my sick leave papers stamped, I sent it to my boss and that was it. She did check on me twice though to ask how am I, not to call me to work :)) when I got back to work (I work in home office), in my first telecall, folks who are not my direct co-workers asked me how I am feeling. Seriously, Europe IS the best place for work. I work for a Dutch company remotely :)
Paprika in germany is the same as bell pepper in the US :) Usually the yellow and red ones are more common these days here in Germany, since they are sweeter and less bitter then the green ones
She uses some Denglish (mix of Deutsch(=German) and English) 😅
Paprika = bell pepper
Bank = bench
05:34 Here in Germany sick days are sick days. If you are sick on holiday, you go to the doctor and the holiday will be credited to you. You don't have a bad conscience here because of the employer, but only because of the colleagues who are burdened with more work. Medium-sized and large employers accept the sick note soberly. There may be small companies where the boss might ask if it's possible, but that's the absolute exception.
A Paprika is a bell pepper usually red or yellow or green 🫑hot or sweet..and the spice is grinded dried red hot Paprika/bellpepper...the term "Paprika" is Hungarian for bell pepper
I can‘t remember a single time I had to pay money for ANY medical procedure. I only had to pay 5€ excess every 3 months for my birth control back then but that‘s literally it. I have had surgeries, braces, had to go to the orthopedist for years and already had stays at the hospital with several examinations (e.g. MRI, X-ray, etc.). I literally felt like she had A LOT to pay in germany so far by what she said.
You could really watch the Geography Now Video about Germany. I think it would be one of the best videos for your channel.
Paprika = bell pepper
ryan even said that he eats the green ones, and there are also yellow, red, and orange.
"Paprika" in germany has two meanings, the vegetable itself (see above), and as flavor/spice (default flavor eg for chips).
it's a big family of related items (from pure vegetables to very hot spices) that have a lot of different names in different countries, including the same name for another variant or another name for the same variant ... paprika, chili, peperoni, jalapeno, peperoncini, etc.
I know, I am German 😉.
It‘s just confusing for many people from the Anglosphere that the term „paprika“ is used for „paprika“ (the spice) and „bell pepper“ (the actual veggie) interchangeably in many parts of Europe.
@10:00 You have a copay of 10€ per day in hospital (max 300€). Food is included. If your income is too low to afford even that, you can be reimbursed.
those 10€ per day ("for bed&food") are capped to 28 days (280€) per year.
I think what Hayley meant was this notion of guilt tripping when it comes to calling in sick. Of course employers don't like to reschedule stuff because you're not there and often colleagues will have to work extra because of that. But the thing is, that they wouldn't say that directly on the phone to you, but rather discuss that amongst them or tell you afterwards that this wasn't "the best moment". Like as if there ever was a good moment to be sick...
In another video Hayley once told she was told by her employer to go home and only to come back to work when she was feeling okay again. She was really sick but refused to see a doctor. That's when she learnt how the German health system works.
Yeah well, next time it will be the sick worker that covers up for someone else. It evens out.
18:26 That shit is duuuuuuumb. A year ago or so a lady fell of her bicycle, she hit the street pretty hard.
First assessment: Bleeding wound on the back of the head, Piercing backpain, Shock, possible concussion, she could feel her limbs and move them but was responding very slogish.
I called an ambulance, took care of the bleeding as good as I could, put her in a stable position without moving her any more than necessary and keept her talking.
5 Month ago I learned that she is fully recovered. Her spine was just bruised so moving her would not have caused any harm, it would have hurt as hell.
My point is: Why take the goddamm risk, how would this situation be handeled in the US?
from answers on other videos, i would guess that everybody would pass by as fast as possible to not get involved and risk a lawsuit.
in germany you can get a lawsuit if you do not help, but won't get a fine even if you break someon's ribs during an attempted reanimation.
similarly, everybody who is involved in a car accident (including witnesses) has to stay and give his info and observations, while many dashcam videos from the usa show drivers continueing their travel, some even saying "i kept going since it was already late" etc. that would be lame punishable excuses in germany.
@@Anson_AKB America has that too its called the "good samaritan" law. You cant get sued by the victom or family because you caused damage during cpr or just first responding at all. But i dont know if there is a punishement for not helping like we have here in germany.
In China, helping her would have been proof that you caused her accident. Because why else would you help?
I honestly would have expected that more form the US but China, but tbf, Asian mindset is nothing I have any good knowledge of...
@@Anson_AKB wrong. She'd be helped.
Here is a rule of thump for weapon laws in Germany:
You can technically own anything, as long as it never leaves your property.
Don't ever run around with something that can be declared a weapon in public.
If you want to stray from this simple rule, get ready for heaps of paperwork and months of trying to get the licenses, tests, and training they require.
Yea, but you’re not allowed to own a gun. In order to use a gun, you need to do special training, and even then you’re not allowed to own it. Even police officers leave their guns at work and don’t take it home (but they’re obviously allowed to carry it around when on duty)
@@timefliesaway999 You absolutely can own guns in Germany, as hunters and competition shooters usually do.
Once I tought I should come to work while having a cold, because I wanted to have my project done. My supervisor saw me while coughing and sneezing. He was really mad, he asked me why I didn’t stay home and that I’ll only get my co worker sick! So I should see to it to move my a……. home, stay there, see a Doctor and not to return to work until I’m really fine again!
Your not allowed to come to work sick, it’s not only because they are concerned about your condition, they are concerned about the others getting sick. Because then there is nobody who can work. That is what real company concern is. That’s thinking outside the box!
I have my husband sent to hospital with ambulance 4 times in a day. It was when he had frightening symptoms of a stress attack that we did not know. His pulse beating so rapidly way more than normal beats and continuing (in the pulse monitoring) while his bp also was very high. With that, we called an ambulance and arrive less than 5 minutes. He was checked by the doctor on board and yes, his condition is to rush to the hospital. He was released 2 hours after because the expert found nothing alarming. In that day, we sent him to the hospital 4 times out of fear that might there will be bad happened to him. He came home the last time we sent him there with hanging apparatus connected to his body with recorder like something and must be hanging for 24 hours and then remove it and send it back to the hospital. The result was the heart is so healthy. Later they found out, it was just one of the symptoms of stress attack he was suffering. I was so thankful with the ambulance system and the hospital, our worry was gone and also with all the rescue and medical activities..... we paid nothing because all was covered with our health insurance.
"But Hailey, we are family here!"
"Good, then you want me to stay home, so I can rest and get better, right?"
There is a very interesting video how gun laws devolved in the US.even in the " Wild West"there were strict gun laws .
When you talked about the kidney stone exam being 200$ my jaw dropped
Last month i had togo to emergency due to one bad case of kidney stones, where they did a few exams, gave me some painkillers, had me sleep for a couple hours etc... i had to pay 15€
In Australia an ambulance costs about $1,000 a callout now, but you can get ambulance insurance here for about $150 a year. That's as many callouts a year that you need, no extra cost.
She mixed some german words in, happens often to me ...there are diff languages in one brain. Bank is the german word for bench and it has the second meaning for Bank like the famous Deutsche Bank.
I'm sick at home myself for 8 weeks now, no questions asked by my german employe instead of How are you? It is his prob to have enough staff in his company. Sich pay means to me 100% for the first 6weeks, after that my boss is out and the insurance pays me by law 60% in the following weeks. Ambulance, hospital and all treatments are payed by the social insurances and every worker must pay in the social insurances.
the thing about being sick: it's just not the employee's problem how the work has to be covered. that must be arranged by the employer himself. I have absolutely no bad conscience about staying at home sick. if the employer does not get the work covered, then he really has had bad luck. he just has to be prepared for something like that to happen. Of course we have employers who try to make us feel bad, and it always works, but that's simply the wrong approach and doesn't speak for the employer either. I understand that being on sick leave can cause problems, but the employee's physical well-being is more important. Incidentally, an employee can´t be dismissed because of illness. Sick people are specially protected by law. no matter how long the illness lasts. a few days, a few weeks, two years... doesn´t matter
edit: the working place is never family. i´m a nurse and i called my work family. Then I understood how toxic this setting is. my family is at home and not at work. I would never call my work family again because then exactly what Hailey says happens. I am an easy target for manipulation. never again
Another thing is, The companies dont plan very well, if people come in sick, they may spread it to other employees. At some point they will have a serious problem, but then again theyll just fire them and hire new ones... Thats america
@@mJrA83 really sad. the land of the free is not able to protect its employees
I cam tell you, as a mini farmer, it's not just how we prepare our food, it's how we grow it. At my house we are as organic as possible, grow as much as we can in our small space to can and freeze. If it runs out before the next canning season, the quality of food goes down. This is because Europe in general does not allow the things to be done to the farm crop that the U.S. does. Same for produce, as I've also had farm fresh eggs and meat.
German here! When one of our employees calls in to be sick and then starts a whole monologue of how it´s not bad at all and they probably will be good tomorrow, the only right response is: If you´re feeling sick, please see a physician and take your time to get cured! There´s no need to rush yourself! Please send me in your notice of how many days/weeks/ month it´ll take and please give yourself enough rest, don´t worry! Period. If you´re German too and don´t respond like that: STEP UP TO THE PLATE!
Gday there Ryan. I doubt Americans are any more messed up than anyone else? We all have some weird stuff goin' on. To me, here in Canberra, your country's religiosity is something I wouldn't appreciate here. Sorry, but its hard to not see it everywhere. Anyhow, we're not all heathens here, like me. Come on down, whatever you believe.
I watch Hayley all the time. I am curious why you do these videos. Since you say it is for Germans. Maybe to see their reactions to yours? Just an old fart now living in Germany. The actual reason I moved was not politics as many people assume. It was partly! The main reason though, since I already have German Citizenship as well as my American Citizenship, I realized as someone living on Social Security, with a heart ailment, I would still have to find a job somewhere to just survive. When I put it all down on paper, I realized that I would not be able to. I would need to have a car, have insurance, pay for gasoline etc. My house unfortunately always needed something fixed. Since I lived in rural North Carolina at the time, there were no free Insurance plans to supplement Medicare. I had to pay about $75 a month, on top of the $100 that Social Security deducted. There was no way I could manage to survive without finding a job somewhere. Here I manage perfectly well, on just my American Social Security. The one time in the US, that I needed an Ambulance, it cost me a small fortune, that did not include the Emergency Room charges, and a humungous Hospital Bill. It ate my entire savings!
Here I do pay a monthly Insurance Premium but it is no more than I paid in the US. EVERYTHING is covered! Like someone mentioned there is a €10 Euro co-pay for a Hospital Room, but if there is a co-pay at all, it is usually not very much. Since living here, I have had extensive tests ordered by my Doctor. Every one, was paid in full by my insurance! I wish Hayley had mentioned that. She talked about her fears, but not what the reality actually turned out to be. She also did not explain about calling in sick here. They do not expect you to come in to work, and infect everybody else! They prefer to pay you, to stay at home and get better!
Regarding her use of German words, I do it too! Just today I said something about my Wasserkocher dying, on facebook. That would be my Electric Water Kettle. I do enjoy watching your reactions! Keep it up!
In Australia we have 10 days a year "sick" days which is sometimes now called "personal leave" and is supposedly to be used if you are sick, or have a medical appointment or family emergency. These often occur on a Friday or Monday particularly if your team has won a big game. Sometimes they are also referred to as mental health days amongst friends.
We find that many people only take one or two sick day a year because in many jobs you'll only have to catch up on missed work over the next few days so there isn't any point taking a lot of days off. Also good employees will, if you have had very few sick days allow more than 10 paid days off to allow you to recover fully on doctors orders.
here in spain we have like 6 " your own business" days, besides 22 workable days of holydays and the sick days required if you are sick ( no matter for how long as long as docs don't let you come back to work). i'm currently on sick days ( almost 3 weeks now) due a health issue and my boss is telling me: don't rush to come back, get fully well and don't worry at all, health go first! all paid ofocourse, so hearing all that family bullshit from companies is so sad, depressing and ashaming i can't
Ihr seid so eine tolle Kombi! Ich liebe es, beiden von euch zu zuschauen und jetzt in einem Video 👍🏻
I had a surgery and stayed 7 days in a German hospital this year. 3 months later I received the 'bill' mentioning 15K+ euro total costs. My part to pay is € 70,-- (7 days @ 10,--).
you received a bill ? i got my appendix removed, saw 3 different doctors, had ultrasound, CT, surgery and never saw a bill.. just paid 80 Euros for 8 days in hospital
last year i was in hospital twice for a total of 30 days and had three surgeries. together with all doctor appointments, tests (including CT and several MRT for checks and checkups), the procedures themselves and all medication (including what i have to take at home) and even some (by choice) rehab or household help for a month, i had to pay a total of only 280€ for "bed&food" (capped to 28 days per year). the only other cost for any medical stuff during a year are 17.50€ per quarter for four types of blood pressure pills, and 10€ for specific medication at home that i had to take for a month after surgery.
being taken care of, and not having to worry about costs, also helps a speedy recovery and to reduce overall costs, eg not needing loans with interest or a psychiatrist to handle my worries, etc.
i got one bill for those 280€, and the only other price i know is 1800€ for a specialized MRT with radioactive contrast (since the secretary mentioned that i shouldn't miss the appointment because it would be so costly)
Paprika = bell pepper, the psice is made from bell pepper.
In some languages like in german the names are the same for the spice and the vegetable.
Paprika = bell pepper, Paprikagewürz = paprika.
also known as capsicum in some English countries (Australia)
Bell pepper is also called paprika in some countries, paprika is made from dried red bell peppers.
Last summer I had to call an ambulance for myself and they took me to the hospital and a few weeks later I got a bill from my insurance and it has cost me 10€! Actually I didn't even know that it would cost me anything as I am so used to getting paid everything by my insurance here in Germany. But now I will appreciate these 10 euros even more!
Germany has a lot of guns as well but no gun violence at all compared to the US. It is not about the number of guns, it is about the violent society you have in the US.
The idea of guns fix problems. Its ingrained in their constitution along with the paranoia that the government or anyone could be put to get them and they need to fight. It's glorified I the wild west legends and media, movies, TV etc.
Baby guns???loaded with water,yes. Germany has a lot of guns, almost every small village has a gun Club, still it's totally different and even the most pro gun guy agrees to strict gun laws.
B.B. guns
BB guns. Softair waffen.
I'm German, 40 years old, and also didn't know what a "BB gun" is, until now.
So, for Americans: This term doesn't seem to be well-known or well-understood in Germany. Don't be surprised if Germans don't understand what you're talking about, when you mention Bb guns.
For the Germans here: There is a description of "BB guns" in the *English* Wikipedia, in short I'd summarize it as "weapons that shoot small metal balls with air pressure" ... in German probably "Luftgewehre" or "Luftdruckwaffen". In contrast to "Airsoft" weapons, they don't shoot plastic balls, but steel or lead projectiles.
@@Apokalypse456 are you sure?
According to Wikipedia, there's an important difference: BB guns shoot metal, while Airsoft shoot plastic projectiles.

we just call that multi-takasing? Can be used in more than 1 place! I work at a Prefab concrete factory and I can do almost everything in the field of large Prefab concrete. If up to 18 tons.
As far as I know, there is no limit on sick days here in Finland. It is for the doctors to decide how much sick leave someone requires, I don't think that the employers can say anything about it. If people are on a sick leave for a long time (over three months per year, I think) then they won't get their salary anymore, but instead, the state starts paying them a sickness benefit that I think is something like 2/3 of their normal salary. If a McDonalds doesn't have all employees present because someone is sick, then they just call their other employees until they found someone who can take that extra shift at a short notice.
As for ambulances, I've had to call an ambulance a few times and every time it cost 12 euros and 50 cents. If someone is in a far-away place but needs immediate care then they may send in a helicopter instead on a normal ambulance, but that also costs 12,50 because a helicopter is just a type of ambulance, from a legal point of view.
A paprika is a bell pepper in American, the spice is just dried and ground up bell peppers.

I'm a Team Lead in a British company. If someone is sick I will always tell them to go home and get better. I even tell them to stop answering emails when they are on holiday. If the team or company can't run without you then you are failing as a Team Lead and a company. The company has a duty of care to it's employees, part of this is to make sure they are healthy both physically and mentally. A healthy employee who doesn't worry about being sick will get better quicker so can come back to work quicker. They will also stay with you longer which means that you don't lose that domain knowledge or company experience. It just make sense to keep your employees healthy and stress free.
We don't really have a maximum number of sick days in our company. It's assumed that when people are sick they are sick and don't take the piss.

a friend of mine once called an abulance for me, because a glassbottle hit me on the shin and caused a bleeding laceration. Just because he thought it should better be stitched. I was perfectly able to walk though. But I got the ambulance, I was driven to a hospital (3 min drive away from where it happened) My wound was stitched and I could go home and had to pay not a single cent. - thanks to german healthcaresystem
