@836df508 hmm, as this is from Prussia and the Preussisches Landrecht for non-nobles was terrible, especially if you weren’t staying at the same place forever, I suspect that it has some more sinister function than just referrals and “5 stars, excellent work”. 

 @210de87f @43d7c4ea if they are not how are they not going bankrupt or end up with terrible profit rates. You can only lower wages so far to compete. At some point you need to be more productive or create something special. Ask the Germans, they made that mistake and now nothing works. 

 @210de87f @43d7c4ea okay and what does the U.K. management do to improve the productivity to get the work done with the reduced workforce? 

 @210de87f @43d7c4ea what? But German companies are already 20 years behind. 

 @0c1a9324 don’t do this to small stores. It is mean to test people who are nice and kind.
