When you use that phrase in here they tell you "sir, you cannot do that" and after that they hang up on youPhaedros wrote: ↑April 13th, 2021, 12:58 pmI‘ll have to remember this, the next time I call one of these imbeciles.

I wonder if they pick the applicants for these jobs from the trash bin sometimes...
Just a couple of days ago I had a nice talk with a german official, head of justice department for parental leave and payments. After basically accusing me of fraud, she said: „I can totally understand you’re angry sir, but that’s how we roll. You could sue, I‘m only two years from retirement - I won’t see the verdict“ - made my day.
It’s a long, tedious story, propably not belonging here... Basically they‘re saying I can’t take care of my baby-daughter like my wife, so they‘ll automatically deduct five months of parental leave. They also alleged, I practically wanted to fraud them, because based on my income the payments are higher than my wife’s would have been - who they know was in hospital the whole time fighting for her life. I filed suit yesterday.
It's more efficient if you make the conversation really long so their supervisor gets on the line too. And then you start the real conversation.
