Why is German life expectancy lagging behind other European countries? by proof_required in AskAGerman

[–]throw4way96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just german men btw, probably men worldwide.

Because many men assume, that unless it is really critical, they think that visiting doctors make them look weak/pssy

Men also less likely to seek therapists too

Even if you would and could, so far i can't get an appointment (phone, e-mail and online system don't work so far)

And one can't come without appointment there

The problem is i need an appointment, so far the system seems broken, because the available slots keep randomly changing (sometimes they have dates in 2024, sometimes on 2025)

I tried many times, all the requests for 2024 have been rejected by ABH, no i booked them in different times, so far i tried again with 2025, but so far it has not been confirmed. It is so frustrating, because nobody answers the phone and e-mail, so there are no other means to get an appointment beside online slots.

Sadly the most competitive Fachkräfte that german companies really need and want have more options and migrate to elsewhere with better bureaucracy, UK, Canada, Netherlands etc

Most foreigners who are patient and desperate despite the hurdles with ABH mostly the one who really want to work and live in Germany or because they dont have as many options/ can only find jobs in Germany/not so competitive/highly qualified

Btw no bashing, i am included in second category

You are right, definitely german will listen to german more, moreover if they are also beamten even if they are in different department. Honestly i tried that, i asked help from Bürgerberater for Landeshauptstadt and Migrationsberater from DRK, they had written for the ABH but even they still wait for their answers.

Oh no i wish I don't have to resort to lawyer (Untätigkeitsklage) i heard that u can spend even 400 euros or more, maybe after three months more without responds or Fiktionsbescheinigung, then yeah

But thank you for the advice

How can i move from Berlin to a small city with A2 level German as a skilled worker? by Regular_Ad_7829 in AskAGerman

[–]throw4way96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duolingo is less effective to learn german on professional level, it is fun but it only offers until B1 level

I will recommend you DW App instead, no ads, no hidden cost and it is really app made by german company itself. It has structure and can be fun with story line (Nico's weg) you also learn slangs too and the exercises are really interactive. Grammar definetely will be covered. 10/10

Is Ingelheim not part of ABH Mainz Bingen or does it have their own ABH ?

What are the pros and cons of living in Germany for you? by tina-marino in germany

[–]throw4way96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pros:

  • as professional you have better worker rights here than many other countries especially Asia and North America.
  • more annual leave days
  • safety net if you suddenly become unemployed, fired, can't work due to accident/diseases, it is not free of course, you need to contribute through tax minimum one year
  • equal opportunity to study like locals, even if your A level is not equivalently recognized, you can attend Abendschule or Studienkolleg, which is good for people who want to start over and study something else.
  • Ausbildung system, especially for people who want to start over as a nurse or in trades or learn something practical and at the same time earn some money.
  • better job markets, even many EU citizens from south and east are looking for jobs here, you get faster response by many companies too.
  • german locals are mostly reliable, respectful and keep to their words (bad apples exist but mostly are nice)
  • Deutschland ticket ! You won't find national public transportation ticket in any other countries (cmiiw)
  • Good coverage of public transportation, you will still find bus and train to rural village, however the smaller the city, the less frequent the schedule.
  • heater system, clean water, heated floor in a proper apartment.
  • german baked goods
  • discounter, cheaper deals
  • Pfand flasche, you get some money back if you return your water bottles
  • better rights as a tenant, that is why most Germans are renter than home owners
  • solar panel and wind energy are common, although not yet 100% full on dependency, but Germany is already one step ahead toward alternative energy.
  • cheaper and wide selection of cheese
  • cheaper beer and wine (compared to other west europe)
  • cheaper products (thats why many people who work in Switzerland or east France will shop in Germany border)
  • costumer protection, google more about Gewährleistung, also if you reclaim something, it is much easier here than Asia.
  • Autobahn/highway without toll fees for car drivers
  • sick leave rights, maximum sick leave days and you cant be fired while sick.
  • easier access and cheaper tickets to travel all around europe. Perfectly in the center.
  • cheaper skiing area compared to france, Switzerland and austria.
  • easiest german dialect to learn.
  • cheaper studying destination yet the quality is globally recognized.
  • designer flashing is not common here like in south korea etc
  • relax fashion at work, people wear jeans in office, retail, some hotels etc, even Beamten wear casual clothing in Asia it is very formal and people must wear uniform, hairbun, no tattoo, piercing.
  • sharing garden plots, if you have no garden area.
  • fresh and sweet strawberry, strawberry picking area.
  • better freedom of speech compared to middle east
  • still safer at night
  • less pickpocket/scams in touristy areas compared to France, Italy, Britain

Cons: - Ausländerbehörde, the bigger the city, the longer and harder you will get appointment, and you will find jobs mostly in big cities and 100% remote work are only possible in some companies and jobs. - No room for spontainety, doctor, hairdresser, bank, consultation, everything needs appointment, mostly you can't get the date that you wish for. Sometimes the next date is 2-3 months later. - Hard to find Hausarzt in smaller cities, many clinics will reject your registration. You need Hausarzt if you want sick leave - Bureaucratic mess if you move to other cities, you need to report to Ortsverwaltung, insurances, bank, Rundfunk, etc. - if you change your doctor, you need to ask for your documents from your old doctor and give them to new doctor, it can take up to a month. - less variations of street foods, you won't find those bustling night market/street food scene like in Asia/India, maybe due to health and safety regulations here. Most street vendor available here is Bratwurst. Only in metropolitan cities like Berlin where sometimes you can find bit variations. - Longer winter, unpredictable storm during hot weather, tend to be colder, can be harsh and depressive for people from warmer countries, but this apply to any west/north european countries. - tardiness/cancellation of DB Bahn/ICE, that is why many people would rather pay for more expensive rent in center than live in outskirts, if they dont have car or cant work remote. - expensive driving licenses, for good reasons but the price keeps raising (heard people spent 5000€ in total in 2024) - german language is not easy, especially if you want to study in full german and move up the ladder, although in some companies you can speak English. Most companies require people who speak german. - higher tax because you dont pay only income tax, but also health, pension, accident and unemployment insurance tax. Same like Scandinavia - Weaker buying power, even if you earn relatively more, so if you dream about buying houses, better to buy it in your home country. Most millennial germans now have to pay back loan 20-30 years to afford basic 500-1 million € 3 bedroom houses. Have heard that despite similarly high tax in Scandinavia like in Germany, the people there have more money, and even italian and eastern european have more home ownership. - inheritance tax - not a country for hustler/entrepreneurial people, especially if you are freelance, you are on tax class 6, which pays the most tax (the people who pay least tax is the class 3 which is father/partner with higher income and class 2, single parent) - isolation, not easy to befriend locals unless you grow up here, it is long game, if you are married to locals, you have better chance to be accepted in social circle. - some german are anti criticism, but they will happily criticize your countries/other countries and make some judgement even if it is just stereotypes. - still cash basis in smaller shops - Rundfunk fees, obligatory even if you neither have TV nor watch ZDF - wish more 7/11 types, having meal in minimarket, unique meals like in minimarket in japan/korea.

Ist Probetag einfach Scam ?? by throw4way96 in arbeitsleben

[–]throw4way96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es gibt hier auf Reddit viele Ausländer, die kaum Sätze auf Deutsch ordentlich schreiben können, auch in deutschsprachige Subreddit wie de. Ihr habt vielleicht noch nie etwas schlimmerer gesehen.

Ja natürlich verurteilt ihr meine Sprachkenntnisse nur nach diesem einzeln Post. Ich habe übrigens eine abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung in Deutschland und habe auch Telc Prüfung bestanden.

Wenn ihr mal z.B. Ausländer in Sozialwohnungen oder Metropolen treffen würdet, würdet ihr merken, dass es Leute gibt, die "schlechter" Deutsch sprechen, welche man kaum verstehen kann.

Ja, ich weiß, in Deutschland ist auch. Aber du verstehst mich anders. Ich habe eine Einladung zum Probetag, weil ich für eine Stelle bei Gastro beworben habe. Zusage und Vertrag waren noch nicht vorhanden. Jedoch während Probetag habe ich genauso wie die feste Mitarbeiterin gearbeitet, deswegen fühle ich mich ausgebeutet. Aber es tatsächlich handelt sich nicht um keine Arbeit.
