New pay model for native English-speaking teachers risks lowering standards: group

An association representing native English-speaking teachers (NETs) in Hong Kong has warned that less-attractive pay offered under a new hiring scheme risks lowering the quality of recruits and standards, with the contracts of some experienced educators not being renewed.

Subsidized pension (Riester) scam - what to do with it?

Hallo, ich habe vor 20 Jahren diesen Riester Kram abgeschlossen, der ein kompletter Scam ist. Nicht einmal im letzten Jahr haben die es geschafft, Gewinn auf mein Geld zu erwirtschaften. Hätte ich das Geld in einem ETF World angelegt, hätte es wenigstens 7% Plus gemacht. In 2024 sogar +26%. Kann ich die auf Schadenersatz verklagen oder Untreue? Was mache ich mit dem Guthaben?

Ich hänge gerade genau im Übergang vom sparsamen geizigen Studentenleben zum "Normalverdiener" der sich auch mal etwas erlauben kann. Kurz zu mir: Ich (M27) bin Elektro-Ingenieur und verdiene "noch" mein Einstiegsgehalt, mit welchem ich aber ziemlich zufrieden bi
