First, whole crap is happening in Germany, in a Chinese company. It was my first official job after graduating Master degree. I failed to get into academics and decided to work in the industry. I knew that it will be bad, even very bad, but I decided to stay, finally earn full time wage and see where it gets me.
I got a “fuck you” contract, of course. 20 days of leave, because German law requires as much, a salary that didn't even let me rent a place on my own with some hazy “bonus” and 3 months notice for quitting. German companies also have 3 till 6 months “trial period”, where you can be fired whenever and for whatever, if the contract says so (if not, it's 2 weeks notice).
I decided to sit down with my boss on Monday and tell him that I won't be his head of sales, management, customer service and Amazon review delete plus reviewing the company contracts he should be reviewing for 200 eur over minimum wage. Hence came promises that “it will get better when I'll show that I can earn him lots of income” and veiled threats that we're overstaffed and my female colleague also can do my job, even if only 80% as good (it's actually around 50%, if you ask me. The poor girl can't even into German passive aggressive official language and has no idea about German law. )
Later on that day, my roommate decided to go full hog and give me a panic attack (Personal reason, won't elaborate). I've spent all night sleepless, calculating if I should wait until doctors open or just go to ER. I got 3 days medical leave. Yesterday, I found out that it was the day when my boss sent me a letter that I'm fired. He was butthurt probably that last week, I dared to stay at home with COVID (his COVID, by the way) and this week, I had the audacity to get medical leave again.
Somehow, it helped my extreme anxiety. Fuck you boss, I'll have enough time to teach my Chinese coworkers about their labour rights. You'll stay alone with your lackey and can again employ your lazy wife that hates you.
