The only stereotype I keep hearing about Germans is that they are known for their punctuality, work ethic, precision and quality.
While Germans nowadays, from my own experience with them (normie Germans), are still very punctual, the work ethic is not the same anymore and both precision and quality leave a lot to be desired.
I saw this at work A LOT. A lot of shoddy work going on. Anything to get as much output as possible but almost no quality control and low quality.
The last two companies I've worked for were run by Germans and almost all employees were Germans or at least Europeans.
The same goes for the education system. We are nowhere near the top.
I say, don't learn a trade in Germany unless it is at a reputable company like AMG, Brabus, Porsche or so, because there they actually still educate well.
The Japanese are steamrolling us. Think what you will but the Japanese are building far better cars than the Germans.
My next car will absolutely be a japanese car except for a Nissan, I think, since they are basically working with Renault and the French are still worse than the Germans.
I mean, ok, for the money a french car is nice, but for that money I'd rather get a smaller japanese car, in hindsight.
I have recently bought a french car because I am not a richcel.
But if you have money don't buy a german car, if you want something reliable and dgaf about status.
Germans are nowadays building cars to break fast and be difficult to repair / maintain and cost a lot.
And the interior is just as shitty, of not worse than that of chinese cars.
I hate my country and I hate most Germans also.
Most Germans don't even nearly observe german virtues, which Germans were known for.
