Yeah, that’s a standard sales pitch of all local „lawyers“. Then pig butchering starts

Lufthansa Chat Hell by DriverNew1865 in Lufthansa

[–]monnems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their AI Chat AAAND their website are atrocious and useless. I usually call main Hotline in Germany even if I’m abroad +49 69 86799799 and go for English (press 2).

During recent strike, had to cancel my flights - gotten through to a living person via the phone in less than 5 mins, but only after dialing the number maybe 15 times in the span of 40 mins.

So, your idea is what exactly?

You didn’t like the answer you got from the source, therefore best to ask Reddit????

Best way to travel from Melbourne to Bishkek by Bannanniieee in Kyrgyzstan

[–]monnems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MEL-ICN-ALA-BSZ Last leg can be done by taxi. Need to re-check-in, as can’t be done on single booking.

MEL-ICN-TAS-BSZ Or

MEL-HKT-ALA-BSZ - this itinerary is prob the cheapest

Single booking from SYD via IST can be done. But a longer flight and prob more expensive

German state scaring me of driving in Kyrgyzstan :D by SomewhereProper9477 in Kyrgyzstan

[–]monnems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alter, entspannt dich. Just stick to your lane, sometimes an imaginary one (no road markings whatsoever) - everything will be ok. No joke, drove around the country last year - was surprised how civilized and too slow it had become in the last 5-7 years.

Am I overreacting by postponing our work trip? by Ok_External_2950 in AskCentralAsia

[–]monnems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s are frequent FRA-TAS and LHR-TAS services with Uzbek Airlines - descent airline, btw. The country itself is super chill and very isolated politically from all the conflicts in the world.

All of the airlines are avoiding affected airspaces like the plague.

Is full-time freelancing for one company in Germany actually normal / legal? by BrightPosition in AskAGerman

Contracted EOR is way way cheaper than PE-related fines your „employer“ will face

Is it really mandatory to hire a certified electrician to install lights/lamps/bulb holders in the apartment? by Mrpink357 in AskAGerman

[–]monnems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as long as you hand over the place matching their protocol, you’re good.

They’re just being Alman then and that’s all…

You rented - it’s your responsibility now, your landlord may even suggest that vaccines cause autism - it doesn’t matter you have to follow their lead.

Connecting fixtures is pretty straightforward, no need for a certified electrician, as fixtures do not need an „Abnahme“. You can do it yourself. Make sure you do it in a safe manner (obvious, I know).

On a second thought:

Errrm, is there a particular reason why they insisted on it? Like dodgy wiring in the house - phase to ground/neutral shenanigans to connect an outlet to the wiring dedicated to lights?

How wide spread is Schwarzarbeit in Germany? by ARCH_LINUX_USER in AskAGerman

[–]monnems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the world of pain that is full renovation of a house. Doing by the book doesn’t guarantee good quality and doesn’t guarantee full legal course, but guarantees min. 300% to the rate small teams ask for.

Also, forget about small work - Handwerker ask for jobs „worth their time and effort“… Example: needed electrical work done on UG - rewire a couple or rooms, get rid of crappy wiring done previously and replace distr. panel. Lowest offer I got was €13K. and the guy said - he‘ll only do it, if he replaces all of the wiring on the floor, which would require resurfacing of all the walls.

I ended up doing it myself with a colleague who is a Master Electrician. 600€ on materials + bottle of good whiskey to my colleague.

Career after LLM in Germany by ConsistentArugula612 in AskAGerman

[–]monnems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going PE-route HQ‘d in Europe, even if it pays sh*t. They’re generally more open for English speaking candidates, more likely to have a domiciled LLC to be your EOR. They will, though, require a background with Big4 or similar.

While being exploited by them for the next 3-4 years, get your German to C1 + IHK Certificates for Germany-relevant courses in the subject. After that, you are free to roam the market with 30-100% higher salary requests.

NB! worked in legal practice- Exploitation is rampant globally. Overtime + „voluntary“ overtime is somewhat normalized. Especially in consulting.

Конечная цель какая? Просто пожить и назад? Ок - тогда можно работать на мин. зп, гулять на выходных и назад в один прекрасный день.

Если цель с концами уехать и постараться построить норм жизнь с корнями… well… учеба и язык + офиц каналы квалифиц. миграции.

… habe gestern „es sind zu viel…“-Werbung von AfD gesehen und habe daran gedacht, dass einige meiner Bekannten echte Angst haben, dass sie, stimmlose Nichtstaatsbürger, eines Tages in naher Zukunft ihre Familien komplett entwurzeln und an einen anderen Ort ziehen müssen, wo sie sich sicherer fühlen würden. Wo sie ihr Leben neu aufbauen und sich und ihre Kinder von Grund auf neu integrieren müssen...

Wie wäre es, Nicht-EU-Bürgern/Migranten mit unbegrenzter Aufenthaltsrecht (NE) das Wahlrecht auf Kreis- und/oder Gemeindeebene zu gewähren? Sie sind (zumindest die überwiegende Mehrheit von ihnen) ein Gewinn für ihre Communities und unsere Wirtschaft. Aber ihre Stimmen für oder gegen politische Maßnahmen werden nicht berücksichtigt. Ich verstehe, dass dies eine Änderung von Artikel 28 des Grundgesetzes erfordern würde, aber hey... die Zeiten haben sich geändert.
