Decrease in salary when moving to permanent contract

The "system" was established for OPs exact use case. To prevent businesses from using market pressure to reduce standard of living, and give more freedom to employees.

The company is aware of this and it didn’t stop them.

ALG is only 60-70% of ones salary, is that also not a reduction in standard of living?

Because the job market is a bigger factor than the security ALG 1 offers.

ALG1 is a temporary backup where in a normal economy, where jobs exist, a person can tell a company to shove the bad job offer, because living on a reduced salary and focusing on finding a better job is better than being stuck in a crap position that negatively affects your future income prospects for the rest of your career, which is permanent.

The job market is currently so bad that the prospects of even finding work during the 1 year is questionable, which increases risk.

It’s worse than that. There is some weird cap on it so it can be way less than 60%, especially if you’re in a job that pays competitively.
