Social security is also the budget to allocate the money. It’s ridiculous expensive in Germany. For example. 3 billion is spent on jobless people… half of that

Social security is also the budget to allocate the money. It’s ridiculous expensive in Germany. For example. 3 billion is spent on jobless people… half of that goes to burocracy.

Half of 3 billion is 1.5 billion. There's 2.713 million unemployed. 552.89 euros per person per… year? Even per month that does not seem unreasonable. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=€1.5+billion%2F2.713+million+people https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=€1.5+billion%2F2.713+mi...

  It’s per month… sadly. 1.5billion per month is the salary of 300.000 office worker. So Germany needs 1 person to manage 10 persons … so why the fuck does it take 3-6 month until they reply ? It’s , here the end of contract and give me money till I have a new job or for max a year.

    > 1.5billion per month is the salary of 300.000 office worker. A common suggestion I've heard, is that the cost of hiring someone is around twice their actual pay (things like insurance, HR, rent or maintenance on the office building, equipment, site security etc.), which means half as many case workers, and each case worker probably has 20 unemployed people. > so why the fuck does it take 3-6 month until they reply ?

Ich vermute, dass meine deutschkenntnisse ist nicht gut genug für das. My guess, based on all the customer support workplaces I've heard about is: 85% of the people in the system are basically fine, 10% have difficulty understanding the system, 5% are a colossal PitA who need to be constantly chased or are even outright disruptive — and most of the cost is with that 5%.

      System failur seems to be missing as option. I think the 5% are system errors.

        There may also be system errors, but I mean actual people — 5%, for various reasons from mental disorders, to being unaware how bad they are at the language (like my first two years in the country), and likely other categories, will need a lot of hand-holding to get through any particular system.
