      Where the fuck do you live that everyone drives company cars? Where I live the closest ya get is company trucks with the water or electric company.

        The only place I’ve heard of everyone in the company driving company cars was in California, a water manager was stealing water and selling it on top of some other scams. He spread the spoils around to keep people quiet it took over 20 years before he was caught.

          Ok, that fucken explains most everything. I dont know how folks over in Germany do things, but im gonna presume that theres a decently functional public transit system available in most regions. That doesnt exist here in the US for the most part, need to get anywhere you’ll probably be driving, and if you need to guarantee that the vehicle will work then you will probably own your own car.

          I saw elsewhere you’re in Germany. Most countries do not have a rule requiring companies to provide cars for work. It’s only available for executives or workers that often have to travel without being near a company office. That’s why we’re all so incredulous that you consider it normal.

            There are no such rules here either but if a company wants to keep you from quitting, you have the leverage to get a car. Most high level execs automatically get a car. Not required by law but just a usual part of the compensation package.
