Absolutely, the best thing I ever did. In Germany, the social democrats had a plan to pay people a large chunk of their salary for a year so that they can take a sabbatical after working a number of years (8 or 10, I'm not sure). Of course it was shelved quickly after they got elected and things went south with the Ukraine invasion and the economic downturn.
- Seriomino 4y agoMy company allows you to save your working hours and spend them in your sabbatical. It's primarily a good thing in regards of taxes as you pay less in that time. Do you mean something different? Haven't heard a free sabbatical from spd
- afroisalreadyin 4y agoHad to google it again myself, they called it Grundeinkommensjahr (https://www.deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/lars-klingbeil-grundeinkommensjahr-fuer-jedes-arbeitsjahr-kriegt-man-einen-monat-die-moeglichkeit-auszusteigen https://www.deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/lars-klingbeil-gr...) and the pay was much less than I remembered; it's 1000 bucks per month plus social security. You get one month per year of work.
