À propos de ce contenu audio

Eric returns from Germany, where the national pastime is staring silently until you emotionally unravel.

Sick days: apparently it’s socially acceptable to work yourself into a dirt nap, but God forbid you take a Tuesday off.

Doctor’s notes: one coworker forged one to go golfing — HIPAA breach? Maybe. Icon? Absolutely.

  • Unlimited PTO: meaning unlimited guilt, meetings at lunchtime, and pretending your haircut is a corporate emergency.

  • Vacation time: some people “disconnect” by checking email only six hours a day. Eric disconnects by flying to another continent and throwing his phone into the Rhine.

  • Deutsche Bahn: the only train system where step 1 is “guess which of 7,000 Berlins is real” and step 2 is “get screamed at in German.”

  • Germans will watch you walk toward the wrong door in silence — then yell “YOU FOOL!” after you touch it.

  • Small talk in Germany is illegal. Smile at a stranger and they look at you like you’ve confessed to war crimes.

  • Government shutdowns: politicians still get paid, everyone else gets to start hot dog carts. The American dream is alive.

  • “I may or may not have cancer…but I’ll know for sure when my paycheck comes back.” — Anonymous federal worker, probably.
