In Germany, local practices could include severance pay too. It is common for long-time employees to receive significant severance payments when they get fired.

He did not say, "It is my fault." He said, "I take full responsibility." The question stands: what does that mean?

Buying the apartments is a short term solution to take pressure off of low income tenants. This is not about supply and demand. Increasing supply is a mid to long term solution.

By the way, land is also limited in Berlin and therefore expensive. Makes building cheap apartments difficult.

I work remotely (on and off) since 2012. Neither directly nor indirectly have I ever seen offshoring being considered because of people working remote.

In my experience, people working remote are often in the same timezone or even in the same area. Thus, they can easily come to the office if needed. They often share the same working habits, the same culture of communication and they speak the same language. This does not alway apply to offshoring.

I'm working remote (on and off) since 2012, mostly in the same timezone. I never felt the danger of being replaced by someone in a cheaper country.

Perhaps the problem with offshoring is not just the fact that the people are working remote. What about (very) different timezones, different working culture, different culture of communication etc.?

I think the story starts with Beats. Sennheiser missed a trend or was late to adopt.

SEEKING WORK | Berlin | 100% Remote

I am a highly experienced software engineer from Berlin. I have more than 20 years of experience in the industry. I usually work on software for (Embedded) Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.

I love write code under the hood. Hire me if you need C/C++ code integrated into your mobile app for Android or iOS.

I love bug hunting. You have really nasty issues in your software? Memory leaks? Multi-threading issues like race conditions or dead locks? Arbitrary crashes? Performance defects? Hire me, I'll track it down.

I love working on audio or music related software. Hire me if you need help with low-latency audio streaming, audio processing and mobile apps for audio/music production.

I work with C, C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, React Native, Flutter, Yocto, U-Boot, CMake, Android (NDK), iOS

I can offer 15-25 hours per week.

In my experience the Elterngeld usually replaces one income in a double income family. Of course one will "loose" money if the cap hits, but hey its 1800 EUR per month for up to 14 months just for being a parent. I think it is awesome even if it is just 30% of your regular salary.

I think you should add people working in the health-care sector.

I was a junior back then but COM felt like magic to me. I think MS made COM more arcane than necessary. It was not until I read the book Essential COM by Don Box that I understood COM.
