Chapter 6

  • Germans stayed the same while others changed.
  • The skills acquired are often disconnected from the immediate requirements of the employee. You rarely hear the term 'over-skilled' in Germany. There is a premium on the future, rather than the present – all based on the assumption that the employee is likely to stay for a while.
