Yeah, even back when I was in school, everyone tried their hardest to cram their kids into Gymnasium auf Biegen and Brechen, and the reason wasn't "We hate Handwerker". Turns out parents actually care for their kids and want them to have a chance of a well-paying job in the future!

It's always fun to see Boomers just absolutely willfully refusing to understand this effect even right in front of them. - "Nobody's going into the trades anymore, the government should do something to foster more appreciation for good old manual labour!" - "Have you tried paying your apprentices properly and maybe stop treating them like absolute poo poo?" - "LEHRJAHRE SIND KEINE HERRENJAHRE!!!"

I'm from the Netherlands and vacation pay is mandatory I think and a 13th month customary so I get 2 months of extra pay effectively.

I earn more now than my parents do at the end of their careers, but they will always be wealthier than me because they bought property when a part-time job was enough to buy half a house… Also, I get a 13th, but I'm TV-L, so…

Went to the DHL Packstation to pick up an Amazon delivery today. After opening the cubbie I can see that the packaging has been ripped open and a 2TB SSD was stolen. A €10 external SSD enclosure was left inside the carton envelope. What the gently caress? How does that even happen? I assume DHL would not accept or keep transporting a shipment that very clearly has been opened. As the delivery guy who is stocking the station, I would not put an opened package inside, as that would clearly fall back onto me. If the delivery guy took it, well congrats, you're the dumbest thief there ever was. Unless it was a long con and he just took everything remotely valuable from his Friday/Saturday route from the truck and fled. Luckily Amazon doesn't care and offered a full refund. I am interested what the DHL hotline has to say tomorrow. Fully expecting them to accuse me of fraud, since "our system is tamper proof", because otherwise  I took a picture of the opened envelope in front of the Packstation, but that is hardly evidence, even if the timestamp from the image is probably just 10-15 seconds after the station logged the open hatch. Always take video evidence when opening your Packstation cubbie, folks.

That really is super weird. The only option aside from dumbest DHL employee alive I can see would be the system loving up and accidentally opening an occupied locker when somebody tried to send something, who then decided to seize that opportunity. But even then it should be trivial to figure out what happened with the access timestamps and (presumably) video recording. Speaking of, I kinda wish the Packstation had something like the amazon lockers where slots are reserved ahead of time at the moment something is sent (or alternatively tells you it's not available). The area I recently moved to only has a couple of super busy Packstations, so sending anything to them has better-than-even odds it'll just get rerouted to some office in bumfuck nowhere anyway.

I've had an open package in Packstation too, but there was nothing valuable inside so they didn't take anything. It happens. End of the day it's Aussage gegen Aussage who opened the package. Consumers do try to defraud onlinehändlers a lot too, so I assume DHL gives some leeway to Zusteller when accusations like these are made. Opening a couple packages per year is probably not gonna cost them the job.

Maybe there's a way to open Packstation doors without damaging them. There shouldn't be more than some kind of electromagnetically activated bolt.

Perestroika posted:The only option aside from dumbest DHL employee alive I can see would be the system loving up and accidentally opening an occupied locker when somebody tried to send something, who then decided to seize that opportunity. But then they would just take the whole envelope, not open it up, scan the content for something valuable, examine and dismiss the other €10 item and put the shipment pack in, wouldn't they? That would only make sense if you're the Zusteller and are pulling the big packstation heist of '23, not wanting to bog you down with unsellable trash. So weird. Ah well, need to turn the package in at the nearest Postfiliale for investigation. As I already assumed, they are probably checking the delivery chain for weight discrepancies to zero in on where the item was taken and from the sound of the support rep, they also have timestamps for every time the hatch has been opened, so this should get cleared up one way or the other.

Thanks to certain recent events, there are already reports of Jews getting threatened openly, like randos just walking up to someone they think looks Jewish and then unloading on them. Take this into account, and you slowly begin to fear that's exactly what the OP wants. Humans are fuckers.
