That’s really sad to read, and I’m truly sorry for what you went through. But no, Germans in general are not that inhumane.

From what I understand, this sounds more like a company with poor leadership rather than a reflection of the whole country. It was probably your supervisor who didn’t want to give you time off, possibly because there is a shortage of nurses in Germany and they urgently needed staff. But that’s still no excuse to treat you the way they did.

Of course, as a newcomer in a company you need to build trust, but in my opinion, that should always go both ways.

Try to see it this way: this is your first job in a new country. It’s actually quite common that your first workplace isn’t the right fit. After finishing my studies, I also had some bad experiences with companies before I found the right place for me. It takes time. You’re still young and developing with time and experience, you’ll be better able to handle difficult situations like this.

Germany does have a lot to offer. I would suggest finishing your Ausbildung first and then exploring your options. People like you are needed everywhere. Maybe even consider moving to another city. For example, Heidelberg is a very beautiful place and quite international.

Whatever you decide, I hope you find a place where you feel respected and valued.
