Contracts and the company piles on the pressure if anyone talks about health and safety that results in immediate dismissal or at best a disciplinary warning and then others get scared to open their mouth. A Union Representative says its not an isolated case. The prevailing atmosphere is one of fear and exploitation. Anyone who talks about electing a works council. Most people are on short term contracts.

Calling it in a comedy 2. 0 but its hard to come back in the future retailers will know even more about our habits well have more data and theyll be able to canalize it better algorithms will figure out what prices were prepared to pay.

But internet retail just keeps on growing currently by 22 percent a year the germans receive an average 24. 00 packages from Online Purchases each year in china where people do the most Online Shopping in relation to their income its 70 packets. So should we be worrying about the Environmental Impact of these deliveries and all that packaging one german Environmental Institute says the Carbon Footprint of Traditional Stores is worse because they use so much electricity and heating but what about the Online Fashion industry german shoppers for instance return every other delivery which.

This man refuses to use whatsapp and google because they track his Online Activity even when the apps are closed the internet activist widely known as had loon sees this as an intolerable invasion of his privacy. But who wants to know who is my nightmare scenario it is that any last glimmer of hope will die and people will just say there is nothing more we can do in the fight against total surveillance time. Services that track and collect data about our online lives are incredibly widespread platforms like facebook say that users benefit because the tracking enables advertising to be tailored to suit the individual. Christiane link works for wire an alternative to whatsapp over the years the company has observed and responded to shifting security needs. Whats up rock that was already very big and powerful when we launched our end user product in 2014 and we realized pretty soon that security was a much bigger issue on a corporate level than for the end user but in. So in 2017 we changed our strategy to focus on institutions organizations and businesses so one of organiser thrown into an infrequent.

Email provider sustainability is a principle that applies to figured as well as business employees who get free locally sourced lunch every day who are. We get a lot of recommendations from friends and family and thats the principle we follow to visit we dont place adverts anywhere so we really rely on recommendation as. The company has around 350000 customers they could have more with appetising but they dont want to compete with the big players. Its not an option because its not Sustainable Growth like that is very difficult to manage even as a company after 10 years we have about 30 employees of someone thats gross you can handle organically.

The European Union needs to make Funds Available billions in fact to build the Search Engine. And publishes the data should have power over it and europe should take ownership you know.

There are very good but if i order it online i can get it delivered and send it back if i want.

Since 2017 the vereen going to pull duc de web sites local retailers have been offering fountains of articles nicolette text set up the website is this conspires answer to amazon. Honestly no one stands a chance against amazon the website is really only there to give us an Online Presence and thats a pleasant our customers come from all over germany. Has come from book the other half from around the country. But that whole drop in sales caused by sites like amazon in a bookshop which also offer School Supplies like satchels island another shopping trip. Margaret what happens if someone photographs a barcode on yeah this is the part is nowadays youve got software which automatically shows the product on the internet if you go through so you get customers who walk into a shop look for something then just take a picture of it if they like it its quite cheeky isnt it very close. Yeah yeah but thats just the way things are thats why Herman Hunter has been online for years where he markets the hundreds of thousands of articles in his store room he says people are going into town less and that has repercussions. On the other hand customers actually going into a shop a better informed than ever before thanks to the internet thats good for retailers people who come into this wine shop for specific wines try them and then get them delivered to their homes. I only sell italian wines but i still have 800 different types from every region north to south and the island. Reds whites rosies and bubbly here in relatively small i can offer you a selection youd normally only find in big cities. But thats only possible because i can buy and brick and Mortar Retail with Online Retail. What does that cost 9. 00 euros 80 many thought and if i want to order it in berlin where i live what i pay then. Absolutely no problem it be the same price you ordered on the d. E. C. And well ship it anywhere in germany for free. Kara dock sickly the otherwise disruptive internet for some conventional retailers at least a much better chance of survival. So weve established that a big chunk of our entire lives takes place on live but it doesnt stop there next report is a reminder that the internet is indeed everywhere in life and in death. As it does not mean the press never really thought much about cough and. Lacked laughter definitely not for its pinewood individually decorated who was a former tangle or walnut birch. Italian style solid wood which i like. Most of the coffins here cost between 1. 30 euros. Just it is not pretty if i were picking one for my own burial id be asking how much am i worth. Or if its for one of my loved ones what are they worth to me should i shell out 12 or 3000 euros and cards when i have not had to ask myself that question so far but its one that everyone probably has to ask at some point. What are we worth when we die. This funeral home has been dealing with death since 861. 00 fabiani lensing who heads the Family Business says the funeral ive picked would cost 3. 00 and a half 1000 euros the price reflects not just the coffin and the flowers ive chosen but also the fact that lensing is available around the clock. As its misconstrued but could sometimes we spend 5 hours with a client and just guessing all the details we might work on the text for the death announcement or on the decorations the Funeral Service the music there are lots of details and i think you can only do them justice by discussing them in person. Because anything is pretty good. Undertakers are often criticized for charging too much the bereaved tend not to haggle. But one p. R. Involved says his company can offer funerals 30 percent cheaper with no hidden costs the berlin start has raised millions from investors the purchasing and planning processes have been digitalized customers can select everything on their computers or via telephone hotline that way they can see how much each item costs and what the total price will be. As an exception i get a personal consultation here the same package id picture earlier would cost around 600. 00 euros less. Kind of if because people dont really have a sense of what it costs we made a video about that we went out and asked people what they thought of funeral costs and the answers ranged from 5215000 euros or much more we heard everything with somebody like im so people dont know what a fair price would be yes exactly i dont think they have any sense of what the right price might be but if the. Death is big business. In germany about 900000. 00 people die each year with funeral revenues totaling 2000000000. 00 euros its a market that conventional full service undertakers like benson are having to share with more and more new competitors. Here hes making the final preparations in the chapel before the mourners his clients arrive he says his companys image has less to do with pricing than its reputation for reliability. And he says he cant compete with startups that have the backing of big investors. These are often Institutional Investors that put money into lots of things they like about well see maybe itll pan out maybe it wont the market leads to a distortion of the market for the smaller businesses that might not have the resources to keep up with a crisis like that squeezed out. Digitalisation is changing things in his industry. True most people still prefer to hire undertakers to guide them personally through the funeral process rather than plan the event themselves on their computers. But im convinced that for my generation that will have changed when our time comes. And even death is digital now and all thats happy knows that wraps it dition.
