and if in germany, get yourself a schwerbehindetenausweis and show it to your employer. they have to give you 5 extra days off when the GDB is at least 50.

I honestly prefer not being eligible for that to having extra vacation days.

What is this? I don't speak German so Google wasn't really useful

It's a certificate showing you're disabled. Schwer = heavily, behindert = disabled, Ausweis = certificate.

What if you're not disabled?

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

well then you're not getting it, but even the slightest autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or even slight physical disabilities will get you one.
