Working in Germany vs. Working in Turkey
I have been in working life since 2010; I worked in two different companies in Istanbul for more than the first 5 years and I started working in Munich from February 2016.. How is your business life in Germany, I get questions from my environment, such as; That’s why, in this article, I tried to summarize the main differences between working in Germany and working in Turkey, and what I found better in which one.
I have not visited and studied companies in Turkey or Germany one by one, as I said, I only wrote what I saw and knew by adding my own ideas.. I’ll start first with what I think Germany is better with.
GERMANY IS GREAT TURKEY
1. Annual leave
For those who like to travel and think that annual leaves in Turkey are too few, the best part of working in Germany is annual leave.. If I compare myself; There was no leave in the first year in Turkey, I deserved 14 days when the year was up.. Then let’s say I quit my job 11 months after completing the year, let’s go bye. However, before the end of the year, I should have deserved the leave at that time.. My second company was better at this with the logic of ‘monthly earnings’ but the sad truth is that it’s only 14 days after all.. After completing five years in the company, the right to leave increases to 21 days and after ten years, it increases to 26 days, but I’m not sure how many people stay at the same company that long.
And ‘counting Saturdays’ He has a head, I think the biggest injustice done to the employee. You get a week off, it was 5 days while you were working and earning money, but 6 days were gone when you was taking your vacation, here’s the cuteness of math.

If we look at public holidays, there are around 15 days a year, it doesn’t look bad. But we can’t even find 10 holidays because of the people who come to the weekend and boil.. In total we had 14 + 10 = 24 days at best.
Now let’s look at Germany. Although annual leave varies on a company basis, it is usually between 25 and 30 days, in my current company it is 27 days.. You deserve permission from the moment you enter with the logic of monthly earnings. No nonsense about counting Saturdays.
In addition to public holidays throughout Germany, there are also holidays on a regional/state basis.. The state of Bavaria, where Munich is located, is one of the lucky places in this regard, and when you collect them all, there is a public holiday of about 13-14 days.. In addition, there are many holidays, such as “the second Thursday of June”, instead of “holiday 23 April, whichever day it falls on your luck”, as in our case, and in which there is no possibility of boiling in any case.. Of course, there are certain days such as January 1, May 1, which coincide with the weekend, but for example, Easter holidays are always Friday and the following Monday.. It’s as if someone specifically said let’s take a 4-day holiday The only bad thing is that there are no 9-day holidays in Germany, such as Eid al-Adha, that cheer up the whole week in the form of a 9-day holiday.
As a result, the annual leave in Germany is around twice as much as in Turkey, and there are more public holidays.

2. Earning with Euro
Salary in a currency like the Turkish lira, which is always shaky and can cause you to go backwards in purchasing power wherever you stop due to constantly rising exchange rates Buying isn’t always fun. For example; You want to go on a European trip that will cost an average of 2000 Euros and you see that the Euro has increased by 10 cents.. You pay 200 TL more out of the blue when you are not in the account.. There may be some who think, “A man who can give 2000 Euros will not put 200 TL”, I do not agree with this idea.. I think the important thing here is that we get extra money out of our pockets ‘for no reason’ because of the currency we use.
When you get a salary in euros, you don’t have such a problem, anyway. Because you live in a country without inflation, unlike the Turkish lira, your money does not ‘melt’ where it stands.. That’s why, when you have savings, you don’t have to panic as to whether I should buy a house or invest in gold so that it doesn’t lose value.
Of course, the phrase “If you get 1 Lira here, you get 1 Euro there” is a big deal. urban legend, if anyone finds such a job, let me know But, if you can save a small amount of your income, then for example, converting that amount to Turkish lira and spending it in Turkey, you will gain a lot.. In other words, if you can manage to “earn with Euro and spend with TL”, you are the king.. Of course, I don’t do it, my friends say so (no reaction )

3. Working hours and no overtime
We have been in a great competition since school years in Turkey; When we say classroom, test and exam, we have to work harder than our ‘competitors’.. We take this habit and way of life with us when we start our working life, and when at least one of our colleagues works overtime, we feel obliged to do the same or more.. Or, since the company we work for has already hired such people, it expects us to work like slaves from the day we started.. At least for me it was; Even though I refuse to ‘put my job at the most important point in my life’, I am surrounded by people who do not use their annual leave, do not make a sound when they are not allowed to use them, do not leave the office before 8 pm every evening, go to the office on weekends and work overtime, are smart 24/7 to have a good grasp of everything. I know a lot of people who follow their e-mails on the phone and respond to these e-mails wherever they are.. If you have a life like this, I’m sorry for you, but there is nothing to say because the conditions in Turkey made you (us) like this.
Munich Nymphenburg Palace
If we look at Germany, there is no concept of overtime, with exceptions, even if they have not yet reached the level of “let’s work 6 hours a day” like Sweden. For example, the company I work for has flexible working hours, in general, everyone comes towards 10 o’clock and when you say 6, no one stays in the company.. Even on fridays people start to run away slowly like 4. After all, there is no system of checking by some departments, such as Human Resources, or by your manager, according to card reading and card hours, saying “Let’s see if he spent at least 8 hours in the office”.. I don’t know if there are companies that do, but I don’t think there are many people working overtime since around 5 am every day, the subways are the most crowded and queues are starting to form at the supermarket checkouts.
Do not work overtime. I think the most important difference in terms of quality of life is that you can get out of your work place at 5-6 pm, that you don’t have to squeeze everything you want to do into the weekend.. Because you don’t waste your time in traffic or something, when you leave work on weekdays, you have time and energy left for many things such as spending time on your hobbies, doing sports, spending time with your lover/wife, meeting with your friends.

TURKEY IS GREAT GERMANY
Is everything bad in Turkey? Of course not, now let’s turn the other side of the coin and look at the things that I find better in business life in Turkey.. Of course, since I preferred Germany, the issues that Germany is better than I mentioned above outweighed the benefits of Turkey, which I will now count.
strong>
1. Friendship relations
I don’t know if it’s because I work in the IT industry, which is a rising field recently, or if it’s just that. I worked with my peers and the average age of the departments I was in was always under 30.. So I’ve always had coworkers who would go to lunch together, go out for tea when they’re bored, and do something together after work and on weekends.. We did many non-professional things together, such as whatsapp groups with moose, going out and having fun at night.. At my company in Munich, there is no “let’s do something together” situation, even though some of the people I work with are still young.. Events that are held together once or twice a year are called ‘team building events’. As the name suggests, it is done with the intention of “we work together and get along well with each other”, purely for the purpose of fulfilling the social needs of business life and which should be marked as ‘done on the checklist’ by some executives. something contrived.
Nobody even has a phone number. In positions where a business phone is given, communication is only possible from the business phone and only when necessary.. For example, if you are going to be late for work that day, send an SMS to the person sitting next to you and inform about the situation.. I started writing SMS for the first time in years, since I came to Munich
Füssen Neuschwanstein Castle
Maybe it’s a culture, maybe there’s a language barrier because everyone comes from different countries.. Actually, I think both. And it’s also effective that people separate their private and business lives with clear lines, for example, if your colleague tells you he’s going on vacation, and you’re vain and say, “Oh, with whom?” Don’t say it’s not welcome. You are his colleague and it is not your place to ask a question about his private life, such as who he is going on vacation with.. In Turkey, on the other hand, by my colleagues, “You are married and are you going on vacation alone?” I have been questioned. So it’s normal for us to even ask and pass the learning part and judge on it
So that’s it. After all, the times when you want to have lunches or a tea and coffee break can be boring.. When it was my birthday, I understood the seriousness of the situation when everyone shook hands with me to say happy birthday, whereas if I were in my office in Istanbul, I would hug and hug all my friends, and on top of that, we would go out together in the evening By the way, everyone gets their own cake on their birthday; No surprise cake, no blowing candles, no wishing.. What a candy, right?
Meersburg, Germany
2. Paying for lunch
My first company in Turkey had a cafeteria, in the second they charged a certain amount to the meal card every month.. As far as I know, the general logic in Turkey is in this direction; lunch is seen as a fringe benefit and the employee’s package is considered ‘wage + meal’. If there is no cafeteria, there is something extra that comes with it, which does not touch your salary in any case, such as “This is the salary, we pay you this much per month”.. In many companies, transportation is also provided in addition to food, such as service or transportation fees, etc.
In Germany (this is the general situation in European countries), “This is your salary, There is a logic to spend it wherever you want.. I am relatively lucky to work for a large company and there is an affordable cafeteria that the company has contracted with, but especially for those who work in small companies, it costs to eat out every day. It is very common to bring food from home to avoid this expense, but of course, since I cannot reach the level of ingenuity to cook at home every day (and not to be stuck with a limited variety of food that I can only cook myself), I go to the cafeteria next to the company every day and pay money.. While I have a full menu in the form of soup, main course, rice-pasta, salad or dessert, and drink every day in Turkey, I don’t like to limit my lunch in Germany to just one plate and pay 5-6 Euros a day for it.. When we look at it collectively, I am giving 100 – 150 Euros for lunch, and I am not as well fed as in Turkey.. If I go to soup, salad, etc. every day, we are already fuming.
Germany city of Heidelberg
I pay 76 Euros a month for the transportation card, the company does not interfere with this.. However, the company is a little outside of the city and there is a logic to pay fees according to the distance in Munich; so i pay some of that money extra just to be able to go to the company. But as I said, there is a point of view that ‘it doesn’t bind us’.
I express my regrets when you read this after the article about getting a salary with euros It’s good, even if you say we eat less and get weaker you are a positive person with a very kind heart (heart).
3. The fact that everything is extremely slow
In the part of the good things in Germany, I said things like annual leave is too much, no overtime, and in this case when you are yourself everything is beautiful. When you need the person who has this situation, the situations are bad.. How so?
Let’s say you are new and you need to learn from people, or my job is like being an analyst, it is natural for you to be in contact with everyone and collect information and then make this information available.. In short, you are connected with people. How would it be in Turkey?. If he doesn’t do that anyway, you complain to the manager, the manager will make him do that.. After all, the work that needs to be done is done, like ‘show must go on’, who doesn’t care who is affected and how, overworked over the weekend or canceled their vacation.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the most beautiful stop of the Germany Romantic Road trip
It’s not like that in Germany, of course, if you want someone to spare time for you, first find the time that suits you. says. And he wants you to send a meeting invitation so that it is on his calendar, so that he can plan his other works accordingly, or if there are others who come with similar requests, his working hours do not end by dealing with all of them.. In that case, you cannot get the information you need to get that information ‘instantly’ and a process always intervenes.. Especially on Friday afternoons, don’t worry, you get rejected as “I’ll be out soon, we’ll talk again next week”
The month of August was especially surprising for me, there was no one in the company officially and business stopped. If there was more than one person doing the same job, which I saw from my companies in Turkey, they could not all go on vacation at the same time.. Because when someone who does that job is needed, at least one of them should be in the office so that the work can be continued and nothing slows down.. But no, everyone went on vacation at the same time during August in Munich and I was stuck at one point in all the work I had to do, and I waited for August to end and people to return.. Since they didn’t say anything about using the block leave, when I asked “I need this person, when will he be back from vacation”, I got the answer as “6 weeks later”.
Germany Tegernsee
I say it’s bad for everything to run so slow for now, but I think it’s just because of my Turkish genes. If I can get rid of my Turkish habits after a while, I’m sure I’ll be able to accept the event as normal and say, “Well, of course, it will be like that, what’s wrong with that”

Turning into one of the most important centers of industry, commerce, production and maritime trade in the mid-century, Plomari is also the place where the Greek national drink ouzo was first produced.. Today, just like raki, the quality of ouzo is measured by the water used.. Since Plomari has the best quality drinking water sources in the geography of Greece, the aroma it adds to ouzo is noticed everywhere.. There is no production today, except for a few ouzo workshops.. Plomari, with its beaches and cultural tourism, is a region where European, American and Turkish tourists spend more time in high season.. Since it is not very well known, the region, which is not crowded and uncomplicated, is ideal for those who want to relax and have a peaceful holiday.

Oceanis Cafe
Make sure to try frappe, one of the cold drinks consumed by the Greeks..

Plomari is 42 km from the center of the island of Lesvos.. Due to the nature of the road, this journey takes approximately 50 minutes by private vehicle..

There is a municipal bus service between Mytilene and Plomari that runs 3-4 times a day.. However, without the hassle of the city bus, choose a pleasant journey by renting a car and being included in the nature view.

After our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, with a 55-minute flight from Varanasi.. Nepal is 3 hours 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
From Victoria Subirano’s book named A teacher in Kathmandu so that you can get an idea before you come to Nepal. you can watch the movie “A Mirror in the Sky” which he freely inspired. It is the film that reveals how the education system in Nepal works, poverty and mysticism.
Kathmandu is located in the valley at the confluence of the Vishnumati and Bagmati rivers.. There are dozens of temples hidden between its streets.. While it is difficult to breathe from the exhaust fumes in its narrow streets, it is certain that you will discover many things in the company of colorful shops, peddlers, bookshops and local people.
A blend of 2 religions, It is very possible to see that Buddhism and Hinduism coexist in the country where it is intertwined, and this unity is reflected even in objects and temples.. Whether Buddhist or Hindu, everyone can easily perform their daily rituals according to their religious beliefs.. There are enough temples in the city. Someone who goes to work or wanders around the streets completes his prayer by ringing the bell in the tiny temple on the street and applying the red paint inside the temple to his forehead.. A person who has prayed has red paint on his forehead. When you see this, know that that person has prayed. Let’s not forget that the main element of flower worship. During the worship we witnessed in temples, they offer flowers to their gods and light candles.
We were surprised that the fruits we ate did not taste salty, although agriculture is the livelihood of the country.. Especially when we say that the banana is disgusting that we have not eaten in our life, we say it’s like straw, we ate a banana that tasted just like that.. We got our Nepal visa quickly and very easily at the airport for 25 USD (15 days). They came to meet us because our hotel had a pick-up service.. We arrived at our hotel without the need to take a taxi.
We wrote the details and places we visited in separate sections to be more descriptive.
But first, let’s list the must-haves and some information you need to know for those who are considering coming to Nepal:
Take a mask. Too much air pollution in the city. If you don’t want to walk in dust and smoke, take your mask.
Bring walking shoes. The roads are very bad and dusty.. If you don’t want your nails to get dirty, wear sneakers.
Those who come to Nepal by plane should get a free map from the airport.. The map you will get from the hotels is not very descriptive and guiding.
Visit the bookstores in the Thamel area. There is a wide variety of books, magazines and many products for anyone interested in books, not just travelers.
Buy LP-Nepal. If not, you can find it in Thamel.. But those who do not want to buy definitely need a guide in the temple areas.. But for me, the temples and the figures carved on the temple do not mean anything, if you only want to take pictures of them, you do not even need a guide.. They charge up to 100 rs from tourists, don’t give more than 25 rs. For your information! Locals don’t like discounts in Kathmandu.
. If you are going to shop, know that they sell you exponentially more expensive.
Although not everywhere, 25% tax is charged in many restaurants and cafes.
Have dinner at Northfield Restaurant in the Thamel area.. There will be a pleasant dinner next to a cozy wood fire accompanied by Nepali music.
Entrance fee to all Durbar squares.
Kathmandu Durbar Square : 750 rs.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square : 1100 rs.
Patan Durbar Square : 500 rs.
Eat jujudhav yogurt in Bhaktapur. We should have paid 25 rs for 3 yogurts, but because we are tourists we paid 150 rs
Eat Daal Bhaat. It’s like Indian Thali.
Eat Momo. A dish resembling a tibetan dumpling. Vegetable, buffalo meat, chicken options are available. A little spicy and bitter.
During the time we were in Kathmandu, we made kora in Buddhist temples, translated mantras and sent our wishes to the universe in the fastest way, we worshiped according to God in Hindu temples :), We photographed the most beautiful examples of Newari architecture, followed closely the funerals of the cremated dead in accordance with Hinduism, practiced their rituals, respectively, Svayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple) temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan Temple, Kathmandu and Patan Durbar Squares.

There are some places that I came across somewhere and noted down and I couldn’t wait to go… Here is such a special route for me in Gdansk
I have been on my master’s degree for almost a year. Since I live in Brescia, Italy, I plan to visit various cities in Europe in combination.. I chose Gdansk first and said I’d go to Norway from here, to Alesund…

But the buses after 11 o’clock leave at a different station called Wrzeszcz, and from there you reach the central Gdansk Glowny train station by commuter train.
That’s exactly how I got to the city and my hostel, but thanks to the Polish, who helped me while I was waiting for the bus. Thanks to a college couple…

There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!
But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!
Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.
I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…

I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”
Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street
In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…
These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.

Long Market / Długi Targ
You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.
Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.
Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!
The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall
Gdansk, the City of Gates
My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…
I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates
You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…
I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River
Is it a Rainbow?
And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily
But a few minutes later, “the sun?”
If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !
My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!
Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now
The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.

Gdansk’s Islands
I set foot on one of Gdansk’s islands from the Green Bridge in front of the Green Gate. I say island, but it is a part of the city I say so only because rivers run on both sides.
This is also a very touristic area, but it is under construction for now, that catches my attention the most. lots of mobile sweet sellers I see around. Poland’s sugary pastry desserts are in vain, definitely try it!
Here’s the Island for You Just Kidding The River Divides A Wonderful Street I Discovered, Find It “Poland’s Candy Sweets pastry desserts of all kinds”
“The cafes of this city are very nice”
I want to have a snack and rest now. Şso that I can have a little view so that I can both fill my stomach and watch the city
Eat a great boutique pancake shop called “Pan Kejk” on the Long Market I came. There is everything to eat and drink here, and you won’t believe the prices. I got a great sandwich, salad and unlimited coffee for only 15-20 zloty.
I Need to Have a Rest and Eat Something / “Pakejk” Gdansk
Time to enjoy sunny Gdansk. I pass the Golden Gate at the upper end of the Long Market and open to the modern part of the city.
There is a triumphal arch-like gate and another historical building behind the Golden Gate.. You have now reached the wide streets of Gdansk here.
Gdansk Became Another Beautiful When The Sun Comes Out The Golden Gate I Just Mentioned Gdansk Houses Also Shine Differently!
A Little Out of the City, The Environment Is Different
There is a huge modern shopping mall right across the street. It is also possible to see socialist-style buildings when you go to a little bit further in the city. Gdansk dates back to different historical periods. It is a city that has witnessed it too.
I am now finishing my sightseeing in Gdansk.. You might think that this city is an atmospheric place anyway, and all its streets and avenues are special in general, so I say go everywhere
