"right to employment" is a concept that applies to many jobs in Germany, often beyond public employees. It is one of the biggest internal debates I had: Give people guaranteed employment (which sounds fair, benevolent), but how to continue to motivate improvement? Often I come to the conclusion that the US "fire & hire" system is better than the "hold & secure" approach of Germany. Primarily because it also makes switching jobs in Germany much harder.

I think you guys are both worried about how to motivate people to become more efficient and productive by keeping up to date "In their own time", while in Germany companies usually pay for courses, so yeah if a company is scared of improvement, they just need to pay for their people to improve
