German salaries are not bad, nor amazing.

I actually think they pay their workers too much though - for not working.

I think standard unemployment on full salary is 2 years, even if you quit your job yourself!

Generous benefits invite abuse…

I think three of these claims are wrong

Let's spell the mistakes out:

You get 60% of last salary, not full salary.

You get it for up to 12 months not 24.

You lose 3 months of unemployment money if you quit rather than being fired.
