“Performance is important and comes second. It doesn’t work without performance either. But the primary factor is whether or not the person or persons deciding whether you move up just likes you. If he doesn’t like you you don’t stand a chance.”
“The most important statement is the first! It is so crucial to know what I want and then I have to carry it through to the end. For me, family comes first, so I’m just becoming a simple but happy worker without overblown and unrealistic handouts.”
“I finished with the career topic. Better to earn less and be happy than ruin your life for a little more money. You always have to take one thing into account: With every higher step on the career ladder, the pressure also increases, life satisfaction decreases dramatically from an individual level, this loss of quality of life cannot be compensated for with money. My employer would appreciate it if I did my master’s certificate in order to replace my supervisor (retired) in about a year. But as soon as I have to fill in for him at his post, I would like to confess to the ‘Kennedy murder’ just to be relieved of the pressure, so why would I voluntarily pursue this post permanently?”
“I also decided to work as an engineer, but without a managerial position because my private life is also much more important to me. I still earn very well and never come home stressed. So I’m always in a good mood after work.”
Career success – that’s what many people think of when it comes to hard work and top performance. But some people make a career out of being lazy. But how can it be that laziness favors ascent?
How can it be that industrious people stagnate while the lazy climb up? Why is laziness a career accelerator and not the opposite?
In this video career consultant Martin Wehrle shows an important background: how career really works. Because those who make a career focus on a certain aspect. In this video you will find out what that is and how you can use it for your own advancement, promotion or salary increase.
Nowadays, careers rarely follow a linear path. People expect to change jobs and even industries throughout their lives. The traditional career ladder no longer applies. We look at how ‘making it’ is being redefined in Germany.
“I always thought after I graduated college and got my first job at corporate I thought finally got a job I could never lose. Boy was I wrong. I’ve seen some of the best coworkers I had get laid off because the company decided the department was no longer needed. You really need to take charge of your personal interests because no one else will.”
“You see, jobs are temporary, they come and they go. Your skills, personality and attitude stay. So smile, take a step forward, and do whatever you love. Thanks Matt! :)”

“$70k + Benefits? YOU MAKE ENOUGH MONEY. How can you not survive on that? They expect a job for life where they never have to save or plan or invest or learn any new skills. And they say millenials are entitled?”
“The US needs a union revival. This is disgusting to watch.”
“I you’re making 70 grand a year, you should be saving at least 20 thousand a year, but Americans like to buy their toys and squander their money like there’s no tomorrow. Just do the math: 20 thou/year over 15 years that’s 300 thou, house paid off plus compounded interest. just saying.”
Relations between German employers and employees are extensively regulated under German labor and employment law. German labor and employment law is strongly biased in favour of employees and is probably best referred to as the “employee protection law”.

“One day I said ‘I don’t want to follow his stupid rules’ to my boss’s boss speaking about my boss who was also in the room. This guy didn’t even follow his own rules because he knew they were stupid. He was not stupid and I knew that. It was a smart play by him to take me out (fire me) because I had a different way of thinking that didn’t suit his vision. I had enough money in the bank at the time to act naturally like this though.”
