lmao
Once, I was called to daycare to be told that my son hugged other children a lot and made them feel uncomfortable (Latinos know that hugging and showing affection is natural for us).
share migrant stories (this one was in germany)
Lmao
you are small brown faggot
I felt so bad during the three years I was there that I don't even want to hear about this country. I'd rather stay in Spain even if I earn half as much.
In my case, despite my experience and training, I currently work in an Amazon warehouse moving boxes, which is very far away. As a skilled migrant in Germany, I want to share my experience, as I believe it may shed some light on this issue. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics, two master's degrees (one in Data Science), more than 10 years of experience in the energy sector, including green and blue hydrogen projects, and programming skills (Python, SQL, and C++).
I came with an 18-month Job Seeking Visa and very high expectations, but the reality has been very different from what I imagined.
In my experience as a mechanical engineer with a master's degree, international experience, and bilingual, having visited more than 30 countries and lived in several of them, especially in developed nations, I consider it important to be very cautious about the so-called "German dream." Although Germany is the economic engine of Europe, many of its companies operate under an old-fashioned model, close to mercantilism.
At first glance, Germans may seem friendly. However, after meeting many people, working with various companies, and living with local families, I noticed that integration and acceptance of foreigners is not common within their culture. The most frustrating thing, however, is the attitude of Germans. They seem to act like robots, very psychologically rigid and inflexible. In offices, it's common for many not to greet you or show interest in your personal life or your origins.
I'm a Spanish doctor. I left with a B2 level and returned a few months later.
The problem isn't really the language (you can learn that), the problem is how difficult it is to establish a social circle... How can you ever feel at home without having friends? In the end, you feel lonelier than a mushroom, and on top of that, half your salary goes to taxes...
I don't know if I would go back...
>I'm an electronics technician, an electrician with 35 years of experience, and it's been impossible for me to find a stable job because initiative, creativity, and problem-solving are frowned upon here.
There is racism, and they demand that you speak perfect German when it's impossible because it's not your native language. Even if they speak English well, they prefer not to. The cultural gap is huge. When you smile too much at work, they call you a no-worker. They play you for your appearance and don't recognize your work. Gossip is a prevalent factor in your performance. They blame you for mistakes you didn't make. They have methodical blindness, they're arrogant, and they're not as technically good as they think they are.
Anytime anyone comes to doreno/maintenance work at my job I give them food and drink. I have gotten in trouble for doing so and in even more trouble for telling a manager at a corporate job to fuck off. No regrets.
The problem is that they prefer to accept refugees from the Middle East rather than educated people with advanced skills. And this isn't just an opinion; their policies show it. Refugees are given everything: housing, Burger Money, language courses, and integration. Skilled workers from Latin America, with degrees, a high level of education, and Western culture, are asked to meet extremely strict requirements, without any support, all out of their own pockets.
I came to Germany as a Mechanical Engineer with four years of experience in Project Management. I also completed my master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, have a C2 level in German and English, and speak Spanish and Portuguese. The situation is truly deplorable.
The Germans have developed a system of xenophobia based on exclusion; that is, there is a social fabric in which you are not included and foreigners are not embraced because they simply don't feel like it.
Yes, I will stay to pay off my very small debts and then look to re-emigrate to another country or return to my own. I feel the effort was truly enormous, and upon returning, I have received a slap in the face from German society.
In offices, it's common for many not to greet you or show interest in your personal life or your origins.
Why do brownoids feel so entitled to friendship and love from everyone
I'm a pharmacist, and as soon as I arrived, I looked for an A1 German course. The application form was entirely in German. I thought it was funny that day, but later I realized it was the norm.
Two Spanish colleagues (with master's degrees in Spain) returned a month ago. They were bored of the bureaucracy, the arrogance, the beautiful, always-gray days, and the German idiosyncrasies. If I'm lucky, I'll only be here until late summer or early fall. It's not worth it!
After living there, I understood why Hitler triumphed, and I don't think it was because of his smooth talk, as my history teacher explained to us in Madrid. They are racist to a hateful degree; even those who aren't racist are quite racist. Because someone who calls themselves "non-racist" isn't going to disrespect you or treat you badly, but you'll still enjoy their arrogance at being German.
a lot of spaniards it seems
In offices, it's common for many not to greet you or show interest in your personal life or your origins.
good. work is for work.
The Germans really think they do everything better (the Swiss can tell you how annoying German superiority is)
Can't say that shit on one hand then complain about atomkzation and lack of connections on the other.
I don't know why Germans think they're so superior to Spain. A woman once told me that Spain is developing while Germany is a developed country.
For them, my word wasn't important, much less valid. According to them, the only ones capable of giving ideas were the Germans.
You make connections with choice people, not everyone
Can't imagine how exhausting it would be to greet everyone at the office all the time
Neither of those anons said anything about atomisation or lack of connections thoughbeit
Can't imagine how exhausting it would be to greet everyone at the office all the time
It's not that exhausting. Even a shrug or a hey suffices.
I have a university degree, two postgraduate degrees, and now I'm working on another master's degree. What do I do for work? Moving boxes at the post office. I had a business in Spain. I made the mistake of thinking that by moving to Germany, the business would be more competitive and I could progress. But none of this happened: when I arrived, I found a country that despises freelancers because it's a difficult area to control. So what they do is put up a thousand barriers before you can start any project, in order to discourage you and make you return to the system of dependent employment. In other words, it's a society that prefers to enslave its workers to weaken their morale and make them docile to its tax-collecting bureaucracy.
A migrant story? I worked on a tobacco farm and a Mexican asked
how you say
Pointing at the wheel of the tractor
penis
I told him
It does if you're actually thinking because it distracts you from your thinking process
The Germans and Swiss built a bridge together in 2016 and the Germans didn’t know that the Swiss rigged their side with explosives. It’s pretty funny
kek the german excellence ladies and gentlemen
it distracts you from your thinking process
It doesnt.
It does
Yeah but your retarded so you never stood a chance change collector.
No, I'm a deep thinker and don't like interruptions
I'm a Mexican woman and I came to Germany in 2023 to start an apprenticeship as a surgical technician. I was 19 years old and didn't have many expectations, as I knew it would be difficult, but my experience has been even worse.
I've always felt discriminated against here, and the work environment is very toxic.
They think I don't understand or that I have cognitive deficiencies. I have to listen to negative comments all the time, and I've been thinking about starting over in Mexico.
I've heard stories of how bad/hard it is for skilled people to get jobs, a strange situation where a country would prefer a wageslave who has just as much chance to milk the system rather than someone who would pay loads in taxes
How will I snope check blood libel
Latin America is the future of humanity, lots of space, all kinds of climates, friendly and hospitable people, beautiful landscapes.
The level and quality of life will improve more and more, Germans and Europeans are always welcome, especially here in Argentina
halloween as a kid
go out trick or treating
there's a brown guy in his 20s with an accent doing it too
didn't get your supposed to say trick or treet
I want halloween
Please give me chocolate
he wasn't even wearing a costume
I feel very bored, and I'm already four and a half years old. I'm a teacher, but they won't let me work in the field.
I came to Germany with a work contract, I speak English, I went to buy a cake, and the saleswoman took me by the hand and led me out of the bakery to the street, and said "doch."
I'm a veterinarian with a master's degree and experience, and the possibility of working in my field seems almost unattainable. First, the language, the C1 medical level, and then I have to complete three more years of university. An acquaintance in Berlin was asked to pass 15 exams without being eligible for university admission.
I can't wait to return to Mexico. Fortunately, my German husband has a year and a half until retirement, and we're going to Mexico.
did this bitch got a boomer for a husband?? wtf
That’s like every white western country. It’s retarded
We will meet in glorious South America
Triple brown alliance VGH
It’s not about filling jobs it’s about destroying the nation
we get it, you hate germany
this thread is dumb though, anyone whose smart enough for multiple degrees could have looked at german wages and taxes and found a better country to move to
I'm Colombian. I've had my degree recognized; I have everything they require to be hired as a qualified professional. So I applied to companies to work as a professional-level administrative assistant, and the German government told me they wouldn't give me a visa for that because the assistant level (despite the requirement of having graduated from the program) isn't sufficient for a qualified visa. However, they told me they would give me a visa to wipe children's asses in daycare centers under the Ausbildung concept as a teacher's assistant, where they pay half the minimum wage. And the worst part is that the company that wants to hire me as their administrative assistant needs me, and I need them. But the German government denies me the opportunity.
acceptance of foreigners is not common within their culture
As if mutts had no issues with racism. This isn't the new world. The only ones wanting the immigrants is the government, we just barely accept that some skilled immigration might be mecessary, if unwanted. If you prefer a more open society, you shouldn't come here of all places. Germans are all southern with each other as well
*aren't
We will team up with the castizo and exterminate all others together
your pension system needs workers you don't have anon
it's common for many not to greet you or show interest in your personal life or your origins.
Gigabased. Nosy brownoids are incredibly annoying.
The pension system is already fundamentally fucked and we're never going to get enough productive immigrants, compared with ever-increasing amount of foreigners that are a burden on the state.
We will either reform it and use skilled immigrants as a stop-gap while our demographics adjust and hopefully stabilize (we don't need an increase in population, a replacement rate is fine in the long term), or we're doomed because politicians refuse to think long-term/not just be focused on the interests of companies and old people.
