  • Here in Germany the notice period is legally binding both ways unless both sides agree to end the contract early.

    Usual notice periods are 1, 3 or 6 months. It isn’t rare that you have to actually work to the end. And you know what? It’s fine. Noone expects you to go above and beyond anymore at all. You are expected to prepare all your work to be handed over to colleagues. You’ll train people who will take over your position if someone is found in time. You get to take remaining legally binding time off and overtime. On your last day at work you’ll usually being cake and there is a tiny goodbye celebration thing going on.

    Work only has to be as toxic as you make it tbh. Sadly many companies choose very toxic.

    Sometimes if you are let go the employer will put you off duty for the remainder of the notice period. The still have to pay you though. Just without working which is nice.




  • Like many adults I just got recently diagnosed in my mid 30s.

    For me it was that I can’t have adhd because I was good at school and uni. Then I completely fell apart when I entered work.

    I had to go through depression and burn out and bore out and more. Eventually someone said I could have adhd and just been able to deal due to high IQ.

    Turns out that’s what it was. I’m really good at learning new stuff. So school and uni. I really suck at repeating the same shit all day. So work. Welp. Helps to know.
