        a friend of mine is getting their PhD in germany; the bureaucracy is nightmarish! and slow…sooooo slooooooow!

        they regularly have issues getting funds approved, even when applying months in advance, and regularly doesn’t have confirmation that his position will be continued into the next semester, and on and on… it’s seriously non-stop bullshit!

        makes me very glad that austrian bureaucracy, even though massively inefficient and excessive, at least works on human timelines!

        …most of the time, at least…

          Ouch… Sounds like it’s tough to plan ahead anything…

          Definitely! It’s slow and excessive like you said, but it works (in my limited experience). When it doesn’t work I can just be annoying and persistent with my phone calls and then it usually ends up working out fine lol.
