@aserre: Having a health condition does not protect you from being laid off in Germany.

Seems odd to me that you didn't last for at least half a year in any one of these jobs. You have a degree, you have done stuff in your free time. So I assume that you don't falter when tasked with stuff a junior dev is usually tasked with. And even if you do, that's expected.

This is a ridicolous policy: Employees are supposed to come to work sick, if they have less than 24 hours before their shift starts?

@alephzero Look, that is not the point. Seniority is a function of time spent working in a certain field. We are talking about the meaning of words here. If we are talking qualifications, that is a different topic.

@Alex As I said, if a developer is not as experienced as the number of years he has worked in a field would suggest, he is less likely to be hired. But you can not call a central registry to tell them that he should be downgraded to a Junior developer.

IMHO this is not correct. Seniority is very much determined based on years of experience, but if there is a large discrepancy between the level of seniority and acutal expertise, that person will not be hired most likely.

There is no reason to be professional about it. He is a danger to public health at this point.
