Isn't this illegal in Europe?

Yes! Tracking employees performance is a big no no 🙄

In Germany you can't fire someone because of "performance evaluation".

What does this actually mean? Can you literally sit on the desk all day, doing nothing or mess everything up, and your employer has to pay you still?
Performance evaluation is a pretty broad word

Must suck ass to work with there then. I can't stand teammates not pulling their weight. Germany ain't Europe BTW.

Germany ain't Europe BTW.

I understand that this person is playing the heel/troll to get a rise out of people, but can we for a moment appreciate how hilarious this sentence is?

Can you imagine how uneducated AND unwilling to learn a person in 2023 would have to be, to not only think that Germany isn't in Europe (it's on both the continent of Europe and a long-time key member of the European Union), but to not know how to check that their Information is correct with a quick Google?

Honestly I nearly spat out my tea laughing, impressive heeling!

You misunderstood what he said. He is saying that Germany isn't all of Europe, that there is more to Europe then just Germany. He is completely right in this context, not all European countries have the same workers right as Germany.

He is still a bootlicking troll though.

He is completely right in this context, not all European countries have the same workers right as Germany.

I understand that this isn't an academic discussion on logic, but it's also not correct to claim that Europe doesn't have basic worker's rights because there might be a country or two in the dozens of countries that make up Europe that might not have explicitly prohibit a specific form of abuse.

Ooh I see! I didn't realise that's what they meant.

Yeah, that would totally ruin a country's economy. Like, I'm sure if I were to look it up, I would see that Germany is doing real bad 🙄
