I've heard that Germany has laws that limit employers' ability to monitor worker productivity. Something like, they can only monitor groups of three or more members?
I wonder if that's a reason German employers hesitate to allow workers the freedom to work unsupervised. As a remote worker myself, I know there's a greater temptation to slack off at times; knowing that I'm accountable for remaining productive is an important motivator for me.
