Oh, just don’t mention that to the authorities because they will make you pay for breaching their working hours act. How dare you have a dream and a drive. Get back in line.
Authorities in Germany don’t care. They are the Beamte, the have a special legal status, barely removable from their positions and with a guaranteed high pension. There are two classes of people in Germany: Beamte and everyone else.
- noduerme 2y agoJesus, is that true? You can get flagged for putting too many work hours into your startup? Or are you joking?
- mr_mitm 2y agoIt's not true. Self-employed workers are exempt.
- mr_mitm 2y agoI don't think working hours are limited for c-level management.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoIt depends if you're employed as a managing director, or running your own thing.
- lima 2y agoNo. It doesn't apply to either case ("leitende Angestellte" are exempt).
