So maybe the German "Erfahrung" does not map 1:1 to the concept of "Experience". But maybe it is not so much a lack of concept in the language, but something that is related to particularly American hire-and-fire culture, where every employee is an easily replaceable cog in a machine, whereas I think that the full depth of many tasks is not easily conveyed in a documented standard operating procedure, but often needs the actual experience in doing things often. (This is of course an over generalization, because we seldom hear form the established well run smaller companies. You hear much more about dysfunctional companies and dissatisfied employees on the Internet.)
