World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Translation: Tesla wants to pressure people to return to work. What else would one expect from a company run by that assclown.
It mentions these are people who have been on sick leave for over 9 months. I don't know how sick leave works in Germany, but isn't there a point where the leave has effectively turned permanent and the slack should be picked up by social services rather than a private business?
6 weeks are the employer's responsibility, after that the Krankenkasse takes over for 70% of wages for 72 weeks across 3 years.
Maybe Tesla has some sort of perk of extended/unlimited sick leave?
Thanks for the answer. Sounds like they're still well within the 72 weeks if I understand that correctly?
As for everyone down voting me, I'm not sure what the issue is. I didn't say people shouldn't get sick leave, but that society should be responsible rather than an individual corporation (that also doesn't mean corporations shouldn't pay into social services).
A reason for that is that if enough people are on payroll and not working it could end a business. The end result would be business attempting to avoid hiring anyone who could end up on long term sick leave.
I think you misunderstood, after 6 weeks Telsa doesn't need to pay anything, the state ensurance pays them 70% of their wage.
Clarifying:
The government pays them a reduced salary: 70% of their wage. Tesla does not pay the other 30 during that time
They are within the 3 years, at 9 months, so they would be getting 24 weeks of pay per year at 70% of wages.
The Krankenkasse is a public health insurance fund that is funded by employee and employer matched contributions.
Yeah, 9-months is getting out there.
