Title: No Complain Rule At Workplace
Post by: asian1 on January 22, 2006, 05:08:59 AM

Is there any similar rule at Bplan, MorphOS team or other European IT companies?

From BBC:

Germany is a country of complainers," says Thomas Kuwatsch.
"Some people complain about everything, the weather, the train is late, the coffee is bad or they whinge about high fuel prices. If you go to India, they're happy if their train arrives at all. We complain about stupid things in Europe." Mr Kuwatsch works for an IT company called "Nutzwerk", which is based in Leipzig. It is a small firm, which employs 16 people. But there is something that distinguishes Nutzwerk from other companies.
Employees can be fired if they are caught complaining in the office. It may sound absurd, but employees have a clause in their contracts which states: "moaning and whinging at Nutzwerk is forbidden... except when accompanied with a constructive suggestion as to how to improve the situation".

I wouldnt want to work there.
I guess I'd have to just complain about not being allowed to complain !
although I'd rather complain about not having anything to complain about...
