What do you think about Germany 🇩🇪/the Germans? Politica e governo

A common experience at work: ask a German colleague a simple yes/no question and you will receive a comprehensive 40 pages analysis. I do have to say though that the quality of such work is almost always top notch.This depends on the character. If you have a very extrovert colleague he/she probably just likes to discuss

Many colleagues (100+) and their peers at competing firms thus seem to be more extrovert than portrayed by their general behaviour. This is interesting. I always assumed that it was driven by quality control and liability management (in certain industries). But all jokes aside, the quality is always excellent. That is positive.
In Germany and maybe otherwhere too its Kind of fashion to have this agile work methods. Means what you have done in 30 minutes in earlier Times is now a process and workflow with planning tools and much more bureaucracy. Short: Sometimes the workflow takes longer than the doing.
In my point of view these are ideas of business administration students who want to introduce new ideas because they need to find a market for their changing "innovative" ideas.
Whereas this may be true on a micro level, large firms with established hierarchy structures (dating back decades) are not obscured by novel (but possibly ineffective) methods of individual business administration students. Each draft is checked and filtered multiple times by higher parts in the corporate chain. As said, the practice as described above is largely explained by an established culture in the relevant industries, quality control and liability management. Our colleagues (and peers elsewhere) are open about this and consider it to be a selling point. German quality is almost like a trademark. That should be cherished and jokes about it (part of human nature) are just minor collateral damage. I would gladly take that bargain!
What's with the stupid question about how to find Germany and the Germans?
Questions like this signalise that you have borders in your head.
I like it where I live. A school system that enables education, a health system where I can go to the doctor whenever I want, a social system that helps the weak, a political system of democracy where anyone can say the biggest rubbish (like the conspiracy theorists and fucking Nazis from the AfD) but still has the right to a free opinion...it's really cool!
Germany is a nice country. I admire the the German contribution to the mechanical engineering growth. The main economic hub of the Europe. Unfortunately Germany is suffering now due to NATO and EU decisions . Knowing that Nord Stream pine line sabotage is done by Ukraine and despite the economic impact on Russian sanctions I wonder why Germany is still supporting Ukraine. Sad to hear that VW company is going to downsizing and the psychological impact on the economy. Looks like Germany is going to change, may be growth of Political party AfD is a sign of that.
Modificato da Dumi .
We still support the Ukraine because we learnt from Putins tactics since the Krim annextion 2014.
You cannot Trust Putin , 0 % thats a fact. For him everything against NATO,EU and Western society is legal. So what will you expect from auch a person??!
AND: Learn from history Chamberlain/ England and Hitler in 1937/38/39. If France and England stopped him in 1936 when walking in the rhineland, the history would have been different.
Appeasement politics doesnt work with those leaders.
And when Xi Jinping could do what he likes to do what do you think he would do?
At least german skijumper Constantin Schmid is super cute
About skijumper: Whats up with the finnish skijumpers? They were so good in former years, but now average...
At least Janne Ahonen has won 5 times in the 4 hills tournament
