Boss threatens to fire me because of sick leaves

Hello, So I'm working in Germany which has a lot of workers protection. A few days ago I had a meeting with my boss, there were complaints which I understand. But he also low-key threatened to fire me because I'm often sick (like it's my fault if I've a shitty body), he didn't say “If you go on leave again I fire you” but something like “we're authorized by law to fire people with chronic sickness if we think it's damageable, that's why X was fired”. So this made me pretty angry but also scared, like I don't know if he's going to fire me next time I'm out for a week because I'm sick. I'm not sure what he did there is legal tho, I don't have a life or death illness, but anyway it's not something you say to someone who is sick, it's not going to heal…

I'm not sure what he did there is legal tho, I don't have a life or death illness, but anyway it's not something you say to someone who is sick, it's not going to heal him, just put fear and maybe he will come to work and do shit because he isn't capable of functioning correctly.

One more thing that f* destroyed my day, a colleague got promoted and I took over his work in the workshop, and (the meeting was also about raise) the boss told me I'm not getting a raise because it's impossible that I took over most of his work. He's +7 years experience, I've +3 years, I know I still have to learn, but I still manage to do that work and I'm really involved in it, and hearing that I'm not capable of doing was really hard.

I'm not sure if I posted this for help or just to vent off from this shitty meeting.

Anyway thanks for this subreddit and the job angry people that are here
