let's talk about the system if there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continues. d. w. what does work mean to you? is it something you enjoy and a source of satisfaction in your life? or is it more of a necessary evil or a way to earn money and pay the bills? and of course, help pay for all sorts of other things too. when it comes to, gen z are often accused of placing a priority on funding leisure activities rather than work. so is that actually true? let's check it out. on this edition has made also

coming up. why many companies likes to bring workers from poland on board? what does it mean to be a night owl? which european country builds the most v bikes? and how may i start up? send a new home member, lynn lazy, lacking in resilience, but still looking for a big paycheck in germany. that's the cliche when it comes to gen z got in on the especially at our age i'm 20 personal development is important. and that includes meeting up with friends having fun, going to concert sunsets again. so how many of gnc fair in the workplace is on the truck? so that's for how you prefer not to work weekends and to no long hours overtime and your best part. time for a re ality check 20 year olds and works in an ad agency where he's in charge of

production. for me, it's not the money or pay that matters most to me, but how much i'm learning got in the i know i did not go to university and i don't plan to send me an article. so i need a work environment where i can make mistakes and learn from them without it turning into a serious problem to feed them to lay on unpleasant homepage when they mislead. i'm on and kind of wanted us to come out to support his co workers are all gen z and so is this font. so how does he get the most out of his team? just always i'm one of our fundamental values here is that we value honesty and trends and guarantee help as much as possible. we need to know what we're doing wrong, but also be able to address those problems as a team. but when gmc ends up with a boss who's not quite so flexible, that can be a problem. could you, on the screen of i've had to fire people who are less than reliable?

is that when so far, this is kind of like an electrical apprentice who was consistently late, who will be in the general walk until the line of the country to this email. he always came at $715.00, if not at 7 am like the rest of the team just comes to the team to come. so and then he tried to argue his way out of it. like saying, well, i have great grades been to him, but they asked chapel about the push will be jonesy doesn't want to sign their life away for a job. and they want more from their jobs and their parents did events and wish each but they come to be sold. it would be a people don't want to be seen only as anonymous workers anymore on 20 or 30 years ago. companies could get away with bad, but now people want to be treated as individuals with the individual needs, the largest particular gen z. that means you have to explain to them what the job is about with what working at the company really means by specifies to hold them in or that makes inside. in german agency, tends to be highly trained and educated and have many options and opportunities.

and given the labor shortage, they're also highly sought after as workers, which is a major bose to their confidence. and the moment we assume as i start to feel that i'm not learning enough, it's not being challenged enough. how it's time to start looking for a new opportunity. i'm done as soon as o gets the most i little solution. so how can companies retain sions, ease? one of the things we do differently here compared to a traditional workplace, is that we offer things like gym memberships and thinking minutes as well, and have a regular team events once a year. yep. that's what you have on the from last year we took the entire team of 25 p by tomorrow, caching and rented a small space there location. we had a 5 didn't work case on there all as a team. i was supposed to be in town. let me, let me find it wasn't good, was less than alba. this is that tuition is a bus stuck, a team building mouse. i'm a more free time than their parents. most pressure at work,

an open door to opportunities. does germany's gmc habits made people own say we should be the happiest generation of all of them, but we've grown up with so many more privileges than our parent. yes. of corrections and i think, but we're also facing the biggest challenges in a lot of my friends, for example, are practically paralyzed by all the many crises on our doorstep under the somebody, the climate crisis. and delores, globally and so on, on the house is a struggle with motivation and wondering if there's even a point to work related to career. i'm assuming what you've about your own comments or just an answer about like when jim z feels respected and values, they're motivated and resilient don't even work on the weekend. as long as it's the exception, rather than the rule motivated and affordable. many german companies like mula fired,

fucking and bush are looking across the border to poland these days. the country has lots of highly skilled workers, a good infrastructure, and it's an e. u members state to crack out. for example, the m a and manufacturing company has invested some 200000000 euros and triple that's capacity. this truck is almost finished, one of up to 300, that rolls off a ends production line and crack help poland every day. about 2 thirds of all the companies trucks worldwide are assembled. here, m a n is banking on the crack outside and has invested 200000000 euros and its expansion. production meeting is underway. the guest 3 shots. slovak is the plant manager. here. he's from slovakia and is especially impressed with the polish colleagues language skills. most of them also speak

german or english, which helps a lot with day to day collaboration. but that's not the only reason why he likes working in poland. all bytes can assist in labor costs. here are lower than in germany. there's just no getting around that. that makes hiring new workers here, quicker and easier. those are some of the major advantages on poland and draws investors and companies to come here. the engineer stefan hit and it was sent to crack hole from m a ends munich headquarters to get the new production line up and running together with his polish colleagues. he's noticed that when it comes to work, life balance work tends to take a higher priority here. but so it's not technically here. i'm more willing to set their personal interest aside in favor of the company. that's the rule, not the exception. i get the uptake overtime for example, or working on the weekend. you don't have to ask for volunteers here and then people volunteer of their record because they want to be voided and some 400

kilometers to the northeast. and i gleaned it failed as holding a team meeting. the polish interim manager works setting up sites for german companies here in poland. for current client is r, s p a mid sized company based in eastern germany. r s p has taken over the publish company along with its skilled workforce and plans to manufacture vehicles here. when it comes to german investors, poland rolls out the red carpet for them. does that come on you all? if you say i'd like to have a real connection. yes. again, i'd like to have a road roster. yeah, i'd like electricity in a specific voltage or current during that you get it on the 50 off the whole and also offers tax incentives. affordable real estate and less red tape. laguna defense as germany could learn a lot from colon. she's also work as

a consultants for other german companies, like volkswagen hines gloss and fer sites. for young, i've been working non stop for 2 years, which comes out to bring in a policy of i know when one job and i started another one, it's on the shelf even so if and when this job is done, i've got another one lined up already it's nice to have job security and dominion demand like the flex web. the internal manager says that poland has several key strings, including a highly skilled and motivated workforce. the mentality is more collectivist and puts a higher priority on the needs of a team rather than the individual who decided also advise, as companies on intercultural issues in indulge some to you know, in germany, work life and personal life are more separate in form. that's not the case here until now. you function is all by one reason is that polish workers want to show the best side of themselves in the workplace,

and that makes them more highly motivated and she's on you out. it says ip sec. i'm going to get back at m a n and crack out plant manager. a vision on slow back says for and offers a lot of potential for growth and plans are already underway. isn't by then the get contemplating new projects and more investment and pull outcomes. and it's not just m a n. it's also the volkswagen group in general. we have a plant instead of what we changed, which manufacturers buses for m a n o b. and so prospects are definitely good for the group. and the plants in pulling to that i came for them to hobbin to poland is booming. and if this trend continues, it could become europe's growth champions. are you more of an early riser? that makes you a lark and early bird, for you a night owl to works into the night and goes to bed very late. to birds,

to body clocks, and any number of cliches. what's the noise panels? everyone's a sleep pump from one a night town with what come down. life is a nice, how is anything but easy? in germany, the beds are actually in the minority. morning logs. good talk around 7 am and go to sleep. it's about 11 at night. night house go to sleep and much later. and guess how late to take that busy when everyone else is asleep. but does that mean then raising the idea that morning lock so more productive has been around for a long time. the early bird gets the 1st come, 1st served but nights house just as productive. it turns out it might be

trendy to go to the game and then start walk before doing foot for a nice house. that's a nightmare. that's just not when they're at the back i'm tired with because because the gym and economy nearly 57000000000 us again in some professions critique can be dangerous a pilot such and whose tires can cost nights working from home has made life easier for night towels and may be a quick nap at the office. good help to the do you enjoy riding your bike to get from point a to point b? you're not alone. every 2nd for bikes are sold around the world. that works out to more than $100.00. 30000000 bikes a year, 4 times more than in the 19 seventy's. the market for e bikes,

especially as booming, and europe's take a spike manufacturer might come as a surprise. it's portugal porchie goals, bike valley is all about high tech assembly line work, company to your manufacturer, 3100000 bytes a year. more than anywhere else in europe. in the 19 sixty's, the city of actor was already a hub of portugal, spike industry, many companies manufactured parts for other international brands. so we gave them passage both of these minor cuz people while back then portugal was still a sleepy place in rural areas. people generally travel by bike. so these 2 men loved their old bikes, their part of their own histories with, gotta move to this was my grandfather's who is a gardener. i mean, he carries choose with him because and something else sort of something special of 5 liter bottle of wine which you drink from all day to be able to do.

the old bike makers are long gone, but portugal is still your biggest bicycle manufacturer. so there have been ups and downs along the way. we're just moving to the 1998 with china, discovered europe as a bicycle market. and the industry here started to languish. but then the you introduced an anti dumping tax to help protect your spike industry. now we're back to 3100000 bicycles a year and zip on c, m 's. i said for 12. so let me know. you see, let's just put in this company, manufacturer is around 1000 the bikes a day. many of the parts come from asia, but not all of them. a few kilometers down, there is another bike manufacturer. we done the supplies, the growing a bike market with aluminum crank shaft and use a state of the art milling machines to build other complex parts. and as

a family owned company, meet on the place is a premium on being a good neighbor. but of course you're welcome. see, you purchased the competitive, we have to offer a good bike value here in portugal. you put them in a bit of land and we help each other into their sector isn't all that big and yeah, and working in collaboration is better than working alone. ever since, you know, about 60 companies have joined forces to set up their own testing lab. and they're also planning a joint research and development center for them for their mice. we're going to keep producing more and more components at the most. there's a joint project we're currently developing, which is supported by the portuguese development funding, $48.00 different companies, universities and institutes are on board and difficult technological nets. and i'll go to and new companies are also sprouting up like bike apps. they're high tech and

they're feeling nice has left over by the larger companies. so who are their customers? an employee of the companies who are looking for reliable, high quality quality, the companies with an average manufacturing volume of 121-0000 units. because of this new new brands, i put a premium on technology and all of us for means that they're going to see if there are other bike manufacturers elsewhere in europe, of course, but ports or goals, bike valley knows how to play to its strength. yeah, they've got one company had a problem with their frames, which couldn't be solved in poland when they sent it to us because they knew we could solve the problem. and we zip it seems quiet, even sleepy here in bike valley. but appearances are deceiving, the economy is booming, about a 1000 people work for the bike companies and compared to other industries, their jobs are some tour. unemployment is low and companies make an effort to

appeal to workers. our employees, good friday afternoon, is off and have a longer weekend and my that really helps us with recruitment in my so it's a winning formula. like valley is also drawing workers from south america these days and the size of it as i left brazil to improve our quality of life for to go here. unfortunately, my children get a good education feed. we have good food, healthy food, just a better quality of life overall thing. so on the of the the booming industry also offers fertile soil for start ups. like the one launched by joanna sandra and her brother to jago. they're looking to make a very special kind of bike made of bamboo. it's based on an idea joel on us of and rep brought back after working in china. and at 1st they knew very little about working with bamboo. so 3 years ago in the middle of cove and i moved back to

portugal and luckily our hometown is also where the bike valley is in portugal. so we could kind of absorb all the knowledge and as well tradition and some of the amazing brands that we also worked with to start creating something a bit different and to work with natural fibers to replace the usual material. it's a long road from idea to launch in your own bike brand. the bamboo bicycles company is now headquartered in this former holiday home. but this is just the beginning. now we start to have brought in the brands as well, using recyclable parts. they are starting to catch up or appearing, but they're all start tubs. they're all, you know, your case studies and, and projects. but i think there's still a lot of space to, to have all 4 tools bike valley is doing surprisingly well for

itself. start ups like bamboo bicycles are taking off and bringing even more innovation and work to the region. a prelim has a reputation for being the european capital of cool. and in germany it's definitely the start of capital. there more than 3000 new companies here. some of them i've even made an international name for themselves, like the east theater company here. these days berlin has drawn more and more international entrepreneur is looking to capitalize on a new idea. we met one of these founders this time from china. even though i know that advert humphrey kind of walser image or is to be deeply attached to their culture. but to be honest is another very easy. the

a hi, my name is tyler. i'm the phone or i see you obviously i. so it provides a search foundation here and allowing business and developers to build multiple applications. so i gene, i like karl so hopefully i will search, but all model is not general problems. you can only use this model to do search, search your data, search your pictures, searching videos, audio service or, for example, if you're thinking about e commerce companies, they have a lot of articles, fashion, article, data in their database. so each article has their prize name, description size. so for example, if you want to search for a picture. so firstly as they need to pre label each image. if you ask the guy to do this, this becomes a very, very efficient, right? it takes about like 0 point one second the

basically we provide all the models as a p i so that developers kind of coal all surveys or they probably. busy one week to do that, make it work. but if your car, all a guy, and then we charge for it, right? so we've got a medium and use it in one second. so gene i was founded in 2020. and the reason that we choose to set our headquarter inverting drum unit is because we want to build a international business that focus on commercial opens all software company. and those are plenty of patents here in burdens in germany is at work open sauce work only a engineering and also it is a pretty affordable savings price compared to other cities in europe and also a u. s. i think in germany a, it has a pretty stable and the new troll business environment,

which allows the startups to grow more in the autonomous way. so it doesn't gave a lot of help to the start off less. but they also does a block you. right? so it's kind of like ok, so you're just sales cover that yourself i'd be a here for like a quite a while like 15 years so. so let's say culturally i'm not 100 percent match to the local culture verda. it's not our traditional in german cities. you don't have kind of a right don't mean any type of german culture here, which is also very nice, especially for international people to leave and work here. even though i know that every country kind of wants their immigrants to be deeply attached to their culture . but to be honest, it's not the very easy it's not very easy to build friendship

like, you know, you cannot really easy the field phrase shape always a german and is affordable, much i'll phone more than other cities. and also very, let's say culturally, is feeling better open because you'll see a lot of like, uh, uh, you know, international people here and uh, the culture is definitely wild, a most open, open culture in europe is not a cheap safety anymore. and they just are in china, in my home calls. uh, it is called. it is very crowded, but at least the weather is kind of like, uh, you can kinda enjoy a lot of sunshine in the winter time, even though that barnett has a lot of like a local. uh, i'll send the 20th restaurant compared to what i say compared to us compared to china and is still like, uh, uh,

it's still very basic. the are those on sparks like every, every morning i those i'm swimming off like i already got. i'm already on, you know, i've 6 or 630 is and do is on swim use for a while. we're also i'd like to just randomly draw a point on google map and then drive drive. yes. so this is how you can manage the that so for another edition of made the double use business magazine, a trip through berlin, portugal and poland, meeting people who are rethinking the world of work,
