Martin Werding ist Wirtschaftsweise, Uni-Professor – und selbst Beamter. Warum er Privilegien des Standes ungerecht findet und für welche Berufsgruppe er den Status für verzichtbar hält.
The Handelsblatt interview discusses the Wirtschaftsweiser (a German economic think tank) urging for reform of the Beamtenstatus, the German civil service system.
The key concept is a shift from "Zuckerbrot" (sweeteners or perks) to "Peitsche" (whip or strictness) in managing civil servants. The Wirtschaftsweiser argues that the Beamtenstatus is too protected and inefficient, and that reforms are needed to improve performance and cost-effectiveness. They propose measures such as performance-based pay and greater accountability to incentivize better results and reduce waste within the bureaucracy.
