Caption: Figures from the Federal Statistical Office (Germany): Biggest drop in wages in 14 years Real wages of employees fell by an average of 4 percent in 2022. Wage increases did not offset inflation. BERLIN taz | Many employees have lost purchasing power in the past year. Real wages fell by an average of 4 percent in 2022 compared to the previous year, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported on Thursday . That was the sharpest drop in wages since 2008. Despite comparatively high wage demands and a number of strikes , the unions have so far not been able to compensate for the rise in prices. In 2022, the inflation rate was 6.9 percent. Wages, on the other hand, grew by just under 3 percent. The difference accounted for the loss of employees by 4 percent. Of course, this trend could already be seen earlier, but now there is…

Terminated after disability leave
I was terminated after on medical leave last week after suffering from a manic episode. I thought the CIA and NSA had infiltrated the company and I accused 3 employees of being spies. After getting cleared by the doctor the company terminated me saying I violated company handbook policy. No severance, no nothing. Sucks man.

Quitting w/o notice- how do I do it?
So today is my last day at my retail management job. I just found out I passed the background check for my new job last night and am ready to be done with my current position.

I know either way she’s going to be pissed and I really hate confrontation. I’m just not sure of what to do. The ingrained guilt of not giving any notice is making this tough for me.

Malicious Compliance: Expense reports
Background: I'm an electrical engineer by education. 15 months ago I changed to the current job and had been happy until about 3 weeks ago. Boss was reasonable and shielded us from a lot of BS coming from above. I got over a 50% pay rise from my previous job too so that was nice. What BS, you may ask? I work in Test & Measurement sales. Like any sales organization we have a sales goal thrust upon us by upper management. Our 2022 sales goal was YOY 29% higher than the previous year. Just ridiculous. Then they took away a pretty major product line that could have helped grow the business. Basically the sales goal was impossible. Because the sales goal was impossible, two sales managers left. I think I should also discuss the structure a bit. Our sales department is responsible for all North, Central, and South America.…
