At least 10 times a day, Erika Becker, who works as a sales development manager at a technology company called Verkada, turns to her boss with questions. “Did I handle that correctly?” she asks. “What could I have done better?”
“It’s like if there’s something in my teeth, I want you to tell me,” she said. “Because I want to move up in my career.”

I'm sure there are quite pleasant Germans out there. I mean no disrespect or bigotry. But this particular woman was literally raised by a nazi - and it shows.
