This is all very cute and funny until you remember that the National Socialist party solved unemployment by legislating that in order for people to claim welfare they had to work on the state's infrastructure projects, effectively relegating millions to pick up shovels for welfare that they were previously entitled to and counting that as "employment" (hence why they had 100% employment). Effectively they botched the numbers and gave them food stamps as "payment".

Similarly there was no greater economic plan, at least one that wasn't flawed or sustainable, the mere reliance of German industry and companies on MEFO bills as loans (which are basically bonds, but worse) meant that the German government needed to balance their budget to keep paying out these bond payments and with a general policy of autarky and global trade being a joke Germany had to rely on the spoils of war of its conquered regions, mainly their Gold reserves and anything else they could steal from undesirables. The systematic breaking of the Versailles treaty also meant that Germany stopped being shackled as soon as 1933, particularly in its reparations payments to the Allies, so it's not hard to see why Hitler would have a huge piggy bank to initially use that ran out over the course of 9 years leading up to WWII.

Also the idea that the Mark was pegged to labour is ridiculous, Hitler used alternative methods of selling German goods because he wanted to make them more appealing to developing countires (undercut French and Brittish exports). The Mark left the golden standard and became FIAT, it simply wasn't used for trade with foreign countries and FOREX so the "value" or "peg" of the Mark was essentially 0 outside of Germany. And mind you, Hitler kept using Gold before and during the world for foreign trade, Portugal for example required them to pay in Gold upfront for any trade conducted between them during the war.

I'm in a middle management position for about 10 tradesman who specialize in maintenance and day to day repair and while I think I've been able to transition to the role of an administrator I don't think I've been able to understand how to manage people. I have a lot of great workers who care about the work they do to the extent they know their roles and follow them to the extent necessary to go home for the day, I have a group of people who were passed up for my position because they just don't care about advancing but are harder to manage because they have been in longer than me and are both friends and more experienced and then I have the worst fucking people; the people who are brand new out of high school and have terrible personalities and seem to think avoiding work is an olympic sport. The worst part is I care a lot about the latter because I feel like they were me at their age. I'm at my end with this shit, I never knew being so socially inept would make it so fucking hard to manage people as stupid as that sounds.

I care about my people but I feel like I don't know what to do, do you fellow managers have some suggestions?
