Deutsche Bank was one of the first places I worked at, closer to its heyday, I absolutely loved it. But it has been in decline for years, and has a lot of management issues, and fiefdoms.

One of my favorite stories to retell is my wife had a job there also and she had a medical issue from a car wreck. Her boss said the bank couldn’t function if she was doing physical therapy two hours a week, basically fired her, all the paperwork was drawn up, sent to a manager in London to sign. The manager in London was “too important” to sign things so he just leaves it for someone else to rubber stamp in his name the next day. Meanwhile my wife goes across the street (literally), gets a doctor to sign her disability paperwork, walks it into HR - and instead of doing physical therapy two hours a week she was on paid medical leave for almost a year. Her termination paperwork did get signed eventually but because she was on a protected leave they had to throw it out.

Is getting disability for a year so easy? Afaik in Austria your GP is not enough for that. It needs to get approved by supervisors of the national insurance to get it approved to prevent cheaters with "friendly" getting fake disability claims.

Yeah, in AT you'll get referred to an Amtsarzt from the ÖGK before anything - Also pretty sure the employer is off the hook and you get the money straight from either the ÖGK (federal health insurance) or the AMS (unemployment office) for any sick / disability leave longer than 6 weeks.
