| Nov 5, 2018 at 10:05 | comment | added | XtremeBaumer | I am currently a trainee in Germany as well and so far my company paid for every book that I asked for, as long as it was too boost my results in certain tests and such. I found a (german) website which covers this a bit, but the answer is not what Alice wants to hear (basically its up to the employer). | |

A possibility to calm her is to tell her that all the apprentices went through the same thing as her (if this is true; of course except everybody else under the new rule). | |
| Nov 3, 2018 at 13:41 | comment | added | Clockwork | Telling someone to calm down never works, or at least it breaks the person more than anything (it's contradictory to how they feel; if anything, they'll simply lock their emotions, resulting in more internal damages). It's better to acknowledge their feelings and to work out the situation into what we want to tell them. | |

| Nov 2, 2018 at 17:11 | comment | added | anon | While I agree Alice should be calm when she approaches her manager about this, I want to point out that instructing her "calm down" as this answer could imply is probably about the worst way to get this to happen. I would comfort her, say it certainly feels unfair, and her boss would know more about what happened. But, before she goes there, she should make sure she's maintaining a professional appearance, and is collected enough to avoid saying anything hurtful in the moment that she'd regret later. | |
