> Let’s say you got a severance of 200,000€ at the beginning of the year.

I guess if you're at a company for a super long time you'd potentially get a huge severance, but realistically who would actually get this amount?

I get the theoretical possibility of this (and if we're being honest, if you're getting such a high severance the likelihood of moving to a job that pays "just" 50k per year is low), and maybe the author did get a 200k€ severance recently which is why they made this post, but it feels like more explaining a potential problem with the tax system that might also simply be solved by talking to a tax advisor?

Author here.

In my department alone I know of 5 people who decided to take the severence. Out of these five, three will take a year off.

I don't think the scenario is that uncommon atm in Germany.

Open to answer any questions btw
