For context – we're located in Germany where worker's rights are pretty strong. I hope this post is understandable for foreigners too. If not do not hesitate to ask any questions. The last weeks have been tumultuous. We're a small company of roughly 15 workers. When they tried to fire a long-term employee we decided to start an intervention by founding a worker's committee. As one of the employees initiating the founding of a worker's committee she would enjoy protection against dismissal. She left our company nonetheless because she got a better offer and I'm so proud of her! But by law she was still a regular employee til the end of February and she kept supporting us in the process of getting unionized. As we're a small business our worker's committee will be consisting only one member by law – I am one of two candidates by now. When…

I had been sick and missed some days of work, along with having tech issues which werent even my fault(it was a work from home job). A soulless call center service job, where I was at least attempting to do the best I can. Dedicated 6 months of my time, just to wake up yesterday and have all of my accounts deleted and not even be told I was fired. They didnt even have the courtesy or courage to say it to my face. I called my contractor who got me the job, they werent even made aware until they called. Honestly I just feel uncared and disrespected from the jobs I've worked and I'm in a cycle I don't know how to get out of. Fuck this system.

How long will we have to show proof of vaccination to work? I mean we have many vaccines as babies, but no one has asked to see my proof of measles vaccination in awhile. At some point will they just stop asking about this? -By the way I'm not anti-vaccine nor is this post intended to be a political statement.

I don't want to give too much information, but I want to know if I'm making a mistake and thought this community would be brutally honest. I am not college educated and have never before been in management. I worked as a bank teller and in accounts receivable until I had my first child. I have been out of the workforce for 16 years. Last year, I heard about a company needing a P/T (6 hours/day) receptionist. I decided to dip my toes back into the working world. Life was starting to become too expensive to live off one income. I am very intelligent. I excelled in school and although I stopped working, I never stopped learning. I read and am self-taught in a lot of different areas. I am a good and reliable worker. I don’t abuse company policies, but I make sure I do take all benefits that…
