Sigmar Gabriel would like Germans to work more: This interview message at the beginning of the week was suitable for further heating up the mood on an already hot day in the office. Wasn’t the ex-politician Gabriel once the chairman of the SPD, of all people. Wouldn’t it actually be his duty to stand up for the poor and oppressed instead of promising them further impositions? Doesn’t he earn his money today in business on the manager side? So what! And then such a suggestion, of all times, in times that are difficult and uncertain anyway, how instinctive. And hasn’t it been known for a long time from ergonomics and demoscopy that people feel better when they work less? Never heard of work-life balance? It was a “debate from the day before yesterday”, it was recently decided The time to a similar approach by Industry President Siegfried Russwurm.
