Finally, German doctors will have something to do instead of sitting idly all day twiddling their thumbs

Great so this means doctors will be available to see people with as little as 30 minutes notice at all times?

And since it’s a requirement for employment this will be 100% subsidized by the state?

Free universal healthcare with a maximum waitlist of ~3 hours from calling to doctor or this policy doesn’t even begin to function.

Just make an appointment a week or two before you plan on feeling sick.

German bourgeois: "let's pay triple the cost for daddy's LNG instead of reopening NordStream 2 remaning pipe that wasn't damaged by daddy's covert operation"

Lmao what the fuck? So does "requiring a note on day one" here just mean that's the new legal minimum protection and that firms can choose to be more lenient? That would be similar to how the US has no federally mandated minimum sick days but most jobs provide some sort of allowance.

Being sick is illegal

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

This sounds incredibly annoying for the doctors.

Also, I can't wait for all the sick people in the office to slow the economy more instead of revive.

Merz, leck Eier!

That capitalists honestly think that if you can’t make it to work you should die.
