the untimely repair of plumbing/drainage problems in the excrement-stinking apartments of FTs,

We got it, if your work performance is below par, you can expect recrimination in the form of non-repair of the cause of the foul smell in your apartment. You will be left in peace to breathe the equivalent of sewage works air as a punishment until you perform well in class, or fall victim to actual serious illness, or pretend you are seriously ill, will be your exit strategy.

German employers abroad, or joint ventures between Germans and Filipinos, should be avoided at all costs!
