German federal employees working with 2nd jobs? Well....this question got dragged out in the Bundestag by the Linke Party, and the CDU-CSU-SPD government had to answer the question.
Presently (at least for the past year of Covid)....450-odd Federal employees of Germany are hired up with second jobs.
Is this even a big deal? I'm not really that sure about this angle.
What N-TV said about this in the AM? Well...the majority of the 450 come out of the Finance Ministry.
Types of jobs? Lecture business, wine sales, selling insurance/cosmetics, computer game testers, grocery check-out clerks, and run snack-bars.
Big-time cash? Hell no.
I might take a guess that if you were a big-time player of World of Warcraft.....maybe as a tester, you might get a thousand Euro for a weekend of testing.
Why pressing on this issue? There is a suspicion that a number of federal employees are pulling secondary jobs as lobbyists for various causes.....using their position to sell an agenda. So far, it doesn't seem to have been proven.
